ASR website hits are decreasing to pre October levels.

[Doodski]

I thought that ASR was becoming a little slow lately so I checked the statistics.

It's all because Thomas left...

...or maybe there are a lot of people out there who are interested in capacitor temperature ratings?

From October 22nd to Nov 3rd the attendance took a nose dive.

That makes far more sense.

could be due to people preoccupied with election in US?

Yeah, they maybe all killed themselves from the depression...

There is seasonality and some natural up and downs. Here is another view (blue is us, orange is stereophile.com):

But yes, we have reached another plateau. We land at these spots for a while and then (hopefully) the next growth spurt arrives.

Lol @ Avg Visit Duration of 00:05:48 . I think sometimes I've left my ASR window open for months.

Can you do the same overview for guests and another one for members? I think that would be illuminating...

How do you feed the dragon?

Well timed Klipsch and Polk reviews may be?

Seems like the peak coincided with the few days after the LCD-X, DP5, Tempotec Sonata HD and Draop X Koss ESP/X95 reviews.

 

[okok]

better than stereophile.com? wow

It did indeed....

Yeh, just last year we were pretty far behind them. Our Alexa ranking was something like 100K and they were where they are now more or less. It is a real test of old ways of doing things versus new.

Not too hard to predict that consistent headphone reviews would hugely boost the popularity of the site, just check out head-fi's stats compared to ASR or Stereophile. That's what mainstream purchasers are buying these days more than anything else!

That said, I don't have much interest in them personally...

 

[Beershaun]

+1 to correlation of headphones reviews. Time for Amir to head back to the headphones mines. Or here is how you explain to your wife how you need to buy "the hammer" in order to keep the forum going.

At this rate we will run out of audio categories to cover and may need to branch into gardening, woodworking, photography, etc.!

 

[hege]

Isn't this a science forum? Why are we looking at some crappy Alexa statistics? No one that is even slightly tech savvy is using a Alexa toolbar where the data is supposedly mined from..

@amirm have you analyzed web server logs to see if it's anything like Alexas stats? (anyway never mind, you better spend your time on more useful things..)

You forgot firearms and automobiles. Oh and motorcycles. And telescopes.
