Re: [AGA-mcm] click-throughs from gregwatson.com and other sites

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

These are measures of the referring page/site from one someone clinked on a 
link to access AGA? So 858 of the accesses to the AGA site were people clicking 
on a link on the AGA contest web pages?
 
The counts include accesses to the Home page only?

Subject: [AGA-mcm] click-throughs from gregwatson.com and other sites


I am up with insomnia, and the baby sleeps in my tech room at the 
moment, so I figured I'd fix a number of things accessible by a laptop in 
the dining room... first up was the forum update, second is the site 
statistics (which haven't been summarizing right for a year).

I was able to dig through to find out how many times we got a click from 
somewhere on other sites for the month of January so far:

gregwatson.com:            25
aquaticplantcentral.com        95
plantedtank.net            293
aquabotanic.com:        116
www.thekrib.com:        219

our forum:            41
our aquascaping contest:    858

These numbers have been adjusted to not include .jpg files, because 
direct-linking to an image skews things... Phil was doubling the 
aquabotanic number by including the banner ad in his signature!

Another interesting thing of note is that there are lots of referrers to 
the aquascaping contest.  For instance, we got 192 clicks to the 
aquascaping contest from aquaticplantcentral.com.  Most of the referrals 
to the contest are from forums (all over the world, mind you!), which is 
pretty nice coverage to have, and probably helps to bolster the 858 clicks 
from the contest to the main AGA site.

Finally, this list does not distinguish between bookmarked links, 
hand-entered URLs, referer-blocking software, and stuff like Scott's 
signature ads.  There were 27,000 of those so-called "direct-links".
