Thread: WOW! Who'dathunkit?

Neil, how about offering everyone who logs on here a 50% discount on ubeaut prodcuts for the next month?

NO? Ok then guess it was a bad idea, no wonder I am not a businessman.

Kev

You coudn't retire early Neil...can't imagine you with a fishin'rod in hand esky full o' cold 'uns on a beach in the sun....why you'd miss the opportunity to help the likes o'Stoppers out with unsurmountable posers like the BBBL as well as the interaction hereabouts!

What stats software are you using?

Look at the hits number and it looks huge - but of course you know that the only really meaningful number is the user sessions?

Good numbers though - it's always nice to see that someone else likes something we built - virtual or built with timber & glue.

1c per hit and we'd all be retiring I make a few hundred a month out of one of my personal web projects, and consider myself lucky to get that much

As at midnight 31st August the BB had 282,548 hits (user sessions) for the month of August. Entire successful site hits were 4,238,220 but these don't count. These stats are supplied by our Service Provider.

Won't have the full report on the rest of the site for a few days but would think that we will go close to 475,000 for the entire site. Didn't make it to the magic half million but we're getting there.

Of interest:
118,190 hits came from within Australia.
55,920 were from unknown origins.
37238 from USA, Canada, New Zealand & UK
The other 71,000 od were from 14 other countries.

Strangely it looks like the yanks are using the rest of the site much more than Australians with USA making up 41% of the users for that site and Aussies only 33%.

Sorry bout the gloat over the stats, they're pretty boring I guess, unless their yours. Give yourselves a pat on the back folks, cause they are yours.
Hehehehehe......

Neil It is a fine site with diserved sucess.
I am surprised that you don't at least have a u beaut product mentioned at the head of each forum.
I wouldn't mind if a descrete add was included.
You gota pay the rent some how.

Try this for size.

No body minds someone blowing their own trumpet in their own house particularly if it isn't too loud & has a cool groove.

cheers

Definitely Soundman. Pity we don't have a few good woodworking suppliers with their s**t together in Australia offering good online ordering and an affiliate program to help support sites like this. I'm sure the advertising works well for Neil, but a few extra bucks always helps

Neil: You ever thought of starting forums specifically for tool/machine reviews? I know there's a fair bit of this on the US sites, but as we all know the range here is often different. I'd love to see a specific area where we can all go post a review of each of our machines. Would be a great resource I think.

Gooday.

You have a few forums where you can put up your experiences with machines or products now.IE tools and machinery, have your say.

You have to remember that it is one persons opinion and we all have different criteria for tool and machine usage.

Also, complete canning of a product won't be tolerated. Ther are subtle ways to express dissatisfaction without calling it complete crap.
