How are 606v2 doing? Empty How are 606v2 doing?

I have just done some quick research on how well the alternative 606 sites are doing. The numbers are relevant to the number of topics/ threads created.

606v2 ja606 not606 new-606
American Football 336 25 35 8
Boxing 2212 1000 78 9
Cricket 735 725 131 37
Football 1099 41,95054,000 7,900
Golf 918 50 228
Horse Racing 248 325 995 6
Motor Sport 291225 1175 11
Rugby Union 2943 17556 35
Snooker63 25 16 7
Tennis841 200 7419
Visits/ Day1714 476112,855 286

606v2 comes out 3rd in terms of numbers but that is mainly down to the other two websites being football heavy. 606v2 comes out top in a number of sports particularly Rugby Union, Boxing, Golf and American Football.

With some of the more quieter sports such as Horse Racing (virtually non existent) and motor racing, many members from the BBC website have found their way to not606.

I think really its better almost that we dont have all the football crowd on here, they ruined 606 at many times nad this site is also of a much better quality then those other sites with is why I joined 606v2 and not the others.

From w3spy.org. It says 'unique visitors per day' though. I'm not sure where they get that info from but most of their info is from alexa.com.

The rest of the info is straight from the respective websites.

YI,

Would that 2.5 million hits include people who manually refresh the front page etc?

Its wrong.
We have a Google Analytics account, and on Monday there were 4,264 unique visitors. (people who have not been on the site before)

Sorry that's not what it means. It is 4,264 unique IP addresses. So it would count everyone who viewed the site on Monday (not just people who hadn't been here before). It could also count the same person multiple times (for example from home and work)

You are correct though that the OP stats look hopelessly wrong

It could also be lower than actual as some people might share an IP address.

I've been comparing the different sites since the BBC 606 closed. This is the first time I've posted it though. This site comes out very well in a number of sports.

It is probably down to the football chat. Many of the other sports are very quiet.

One measure of involvement is number of people on the site at any one time. From the home page on this site I noticed a big change - for many months there was often 60 or 80 on line and it didn't seem to change all that much - then fairly recently it shot up so there is often 500 or so on the site at any time.

Don't know whether there has been some change in the way things are measured or maybe it's the very active rugby union page?
