April record - forum and site stats
April was the most popular month at Hoops SA since the creation of the site around the middle of last year - with a combined 707,000 hits which translates to almost 365,000 page views. The daily page view count only dropped below 10,000 6 times in the month (each of the 5 Saturdays, plus a Sunday with 9,168).
May has a chance of breaking April's record, with a projected 702,000+ hits at the current rate. Already May has the greatest single day record with over 50,000 hits registered on May 10.
As you would expect, the majority of hits are to the forum index and topic pages, followed by author profiles, player stats pages, boxscores, and the player comparison feature.
People visiting Hoops SA from other sites mostly come from Google, but also from the Sixers site, DJ's Sixers Lounge and the OzHoops Boards.
Coming from search engines, a lot of people are searching for Hoops SA, livestrong bands/bracelets/wristbands and Harold Miner.
For those who are interested, the site does around 12GB or more in data a month, which is pretty substantial for an almost entirely text-based site!
Doing OK for a little side-project with no budget.
