For March we have served an average of 360,639 pages per day and have served 17,019 Unique visitors per day. In addition (not including data served from our CDN locations) we transfer almost 10 GB of data each day.

I am very happy with our improved Page Speed, Usage Time and Bounce Rate that we are now seeing. Moving to this new server has helped SatelliteGuys improve a lot! For many of you I know your happy it loads, but when you are companies like Google, Adsense and other agencies grading us there is a huge difference of a page being generated in 0.32 seconds and the 0.075 we are seeing now. I am very proud of this and am happy to see this move is helping SatelliteGuys grow and be used by more people.

Without the support of many none of this would have been possible. One again I say THANK YOU!

Agree. But I have to wonder how Google knows our gender or age.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

They use to show a lot more detail before including income per age group, but it does show hobbies and interests.

Member stat page, with birth date and gender visbile if choosen? I think I choose show nothing when I joined satguys. I see you are showing gender but not age...

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I don't believe it pulls it from there. As I have user profiles blocked from being captured by the search engines.

But its Google, it basis it off all your browsing not just here.

Google. The company who's moto is "do no evil" is pure evil. I see satguys is online close to 20 years. Ever run a spider trap before they got "smart"? DTA (don't trust anyone)

Especially google.

They claim it's from browsing habits, but what if a user runs a new VM every time through a revolving VPN yet still gets harvested?

We = $

They won't be stopped. (why does stopped have two p's?)

If Google is pure evil, you leave no room to describe other big companies which are worse! Just saying.

This is why I come here. Just when I am ready to cry you guys flip the switch and have me cracking up again!

I agree, there is room for other companies of, umm, ill repute?

I expect this has a whole lot to do with the AT&T "auction" of the TV division as well as the demise of Orby. Probably owes a little to the recent run of nasty weather as well.

I guess I shouldn't overlook Lloyd's fairly frequent provider changes as they seem to generate a flurry of traffic.

 

[Altitudinous]

I was impressed by the incredibly even usage distribution in the age groups from 25 and up, still with a good showing by the 18 to 24 group. There's omething for everyone here.

 

[Jimbo]

It breaks down by what device your using, how does that happen ?

80% of the time I am on my Desk top, 10% on my Tablet, 10% on my Cell phone (Samsung S10)

What's my user agent?

Detect user-agent, operating system, browser, and device using several libraries, including ua-parser, ua-parser-js, and platform.

If Google, or anyone else, knowing which browser you're using bothers you, at least in Chrome it's easy to change the User-Agent identifier using the "User-Agent Switcher for Chrome" extension. I haven't found a need to change it lately, but some years back changing the U-A was handy for sites that insisted on requiring the MS Explorer browser.

Appears that Apple is VERY dominate here.

Appears that Apple is VERY dominate here.

For Mobile Devices, yes. I wonder what the breakdown of desktop/laptop browsers would be?

Probably higher for Laptops.

 

[navychop]

Does anyone else find the source countries list “suspect?” Ethiopia number four? Cuba high up? VPN games?

Anyway, when they start reporting shoe sizes, ask them where I can get shoes for my narrow feet.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Cuba is and has been popular for our FTA forum.

I dont know however what Ethiopia's attraction is.
