Which one is the unique users under again?

Ah, ha... Now the "Remove Curse" makes sense - because of my Wizardry 8 section I have on the site - Wizardry 8 FAQ.

SHP had 25291 unique visits last month, down from a high of 55818, with 171.63 GB bandwidth used. Not surprising with all of the downloads available here. Compete shows just 6013 unique visits and Alexa does not show that statistic for sites they rank over 100000.

The way they gather traffic statistics is by pure lunacy. The have a few people that have a "toolbar" installed that tracks where their volunteers go each month. Hardly a scientific sampling of web traffic. Most people I know avoid browser "toolbars" like the plague. They are not too far akin of spyware. If they get one installed it is because it snuck in with an installation of something else, like one of the Adobe products.

Heh. My site (which I built and haven't touched since 1999, and which therefore shows its age! ) is worth exactly $40.00. Still, that's $40 more than what I paid for it!

There's no reason to visit it unless you are particularly interested in QfG or QfG-related fanfics. Hell, I haven't visited it in years. I just use it for server-space to put pictures up etc.

Was looking for another thread and stumbled across this one - and am amused that it's now worth: $13,614.58

Wow! Collector, you're rich

Thus the value has now plummeted.

DPX may be onto something...

And randomly I just checked... and it took a nose dive down to $4,880.77!

Can we know why?

*curious*

Two reasons.

Y! Inlinks: 0
Y! Pages: 0

It is currently failing to pull this data from Yahoo. When that gets fixed it will regain most of what was lost. Same thing once happened with the Google links and the appraisal regained everything when it was fixed. Additionally, much of their rating is based on Compete's statistics, which has been showing a drop in traffic when the actual traffic has been growing. Compete is only showing less than a sixth of the actual unique visitors.

In the end, this is fairly worthless. Too much is based on faulty data.

Without a doubt it's pointless! More silly than anything! After all, it has my site (tawmis.com) at 17,000 dollars. I only WISH I could get 1/4 of that if I sold my site.

This makes me laugh. Tawmis.com is now worth... drumroll... $60.00


LarryLaffer.net = $53.00
PirateBooty.net = $53.00
And the lowest, NeverendingNights.com = $46.00

And SierraHelp.com = $3,830.66

I wouldn't put too much stock in it. It relies too much on Compete and Alexa statistics. these are typically less than a tenth of the actual numbers. The Cpanel logs show the actual numbers, broken down by Unique visitors (by IP), Number of visits, Pages, Hits, Bandwidth. etc. I am not sure how these ranking sites can even come close to accurately estimate unsubscribed sites. It is based on volunteers with their toolbars installed to track where the volunteers go. Hardly scientific and shows how they are so wildly off.

The site also places a lot of emphasis on Google/Yahoo pages and inlinks. The Google links for SHP might not be too far off, but the Yahoo links show 0, which is ridiculous.

Oh, I know. It was always about amusement. I mean NEVER would tawmis.com ever really be worth - I think at it's peak - $17,000 to ANYONE.

I originally just looked up tawmis.com because the forums have been gone from there for a LONG time, and now the site's pretty much just that front page for the voice acting thing, which I have not followed up on in years also, because of time constraints...

So I was curious how much it tumbled.

Not sure why the other sites have tumbled down so much too, however.
