Because some have mentioned a concern over a drop in traffic, I dug up last Aprils stats to compare:
April 2002
Total Visiting Users 35,584
Hits on Pages 246,296
May 2002
Total Visiting Users 34,726 -858 or a 2.48% decrease
Hits on Pages 266,980 +20684 or a 7.75% increase
Compared to this year:
April 2003
Total Visiting Users 76,052
Hits on Pages 1,096,609
May 2003
Total Visiting Users 82,479 +6427 or a 7.79% increase
Hits on Pages 799,931 -296,678 or a 37.09% decrease
Now, comparing May 2002 to May 2003, we see a nice change:
May 2002
Total Visiting Users 34,726
Hits on Pages 266,980
May 2003
Total Visiting Users 82,479 a 57.9% increase
Hits on Pages 799,931 a 66.62% increase
We had a good month of new user signups:
May 2003 115
April 2003 112
March 2003 116
February 2003 85
January 2003 94
Posts were down, but that is to be expected as the weather gets better in our higher membership areas. (North America)
May 2003 8262
April 2003 10447
March 2003 12399
February 2003 9185
January 2003 9836
New thread count is similarly effected.
May 2003 464
April 2003 645
March 2003 630
February 2003 471
January 2003 591
So, what I'm seeing here is that we have more people visiting, and reading, while our existing posters are spending a bit more time enjoying spring.

Thanks for the stats update (I hate doing stats, even when they are good.)
Did you omit KenpoNet for a specific reason? Not critical, but curious.
Keep up the great work. I will give you a call in the next day or so. Can't do much when not at the office. Will email you the number there.

As far as I can tell, from the user side, its impossible to pull any meaningfull stats off of KenpoNet. No 'user' accounts, or reports on posts, topics, etc that I could find. Personally, I'm curious on how our Kenpo areas compare.
Danke!
Danke!

www.sherdog.com I stopped doing stats compares as their focus is a lot more narrow than ours. Last time I checked, they were up there with Bladeforums in size.
www.bullshido.com appears focused on 1 aspect of the industry, with very little other content.
The rest are more narrowly focused on the MMA market. Our focus is the more traditional arts.
Doing the comparisons would (with some of them) give the wrong impression. (Like comparing customer traffic between a McD and a Ford Dealer. More people visit McD, but the Ford does higher $ sales.)
Sherdog and Bladeforums do a couple hundred thousand posts each month. But, their 'customers' are (mostly) different than ours.
I do appreciate the links though. Good to see what else is out there.
