Zip Watcher Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Yesterday was the one month mark for ZipsNation.Org. Time flies when we're having fun. I thought I would pass along some information to everyone. Some statistics - in one month: 1. We've amassed ~45 members. The board stats will say 50, but with the exception of 2 of Andy's girlfriends and Z-P's alter egos as well as the admin logins, I think it's about 45. 2. We've had 612 posts. I think this is a pretty good indicator. If you go over to macbbs and look at the Akron page there, they've had 1530 posts in over 2 years. So I think we're doing pretty good. I have no time to figure out what the activity was at dreamwater, but I think we've brought everyone with us successfully. 3. We appear to be averaging about 150 visits a day to the site. The range is from 120 to about 300. Either we have a bunch of guests, or us slugs have a lot of time on our hands (a combination of both I think). 4. More than 900 unique web addresses have visited the site in March alone. Some highlights of the unique visitors include dozens of addresses around campus @ UA and other MAC schools, one visitor from Seychelles (where is that anyway?), and at least one guy sitting in class at UA. Where was that when I was in school? General thoughts on the Nation: 1. We own the domain "zipsnation.org" for the next 5 years. This cost us $100 for the 5 year term. Already paid for. 2. The current annual cost of hosting the site (@ dr2.net fyi) is $40. 3. Several members of ZipsNation.Org have donated to help defray the costs of putting this up. To date, I have received $150 in contributions, so ZipsNation.Org has a net balance of $10 at First Zip Watcher Bank of Ohio. We are good to go as far as the actual website stuff for the next year. Thanks to all who have donated (CK, ZFF, JP, ZP, Dr. Z, zipboy, hilltopper .. let me know if I'm omitting anyone). 4. If anyone is interested in contributing to the cause, please send me a PM here at the site. There has been discussion of using surplus to put some ads in the Buchtellite. Perhaps we can plan this at the spring game. 5. We seem to be getting closer to showing up on google & other engines. With the help of ZFF, I've made some tweaks to the coding on the site (including the new title) that will hopefully move us up th charts w/ google. Currently, if you search for "akron zips basketball footballl" I think it comes up about 110th on the google list. My constant goal is to have this show up second on the list behind goZips.com (or before it if we can). The dreamwater sites are pretty easily found. This process takes time, and I think we should be in good shape with the search engines in another week or so. We're getting crawled by google every few days now, so hopefully these changes will have a positive impact soon. That is all for now .. any ??'s, please drop me a line, or post them here. I think this is rolling well. Can't State MAC NCAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
