Viewership in the Last Year

« on: May 07, 2021, 03:50:23 pm »

This Forum has likely been a godsend during the event of COVID isolation. With people social distancing and not attending churches in person they have had an opportunity to think about and research if their own “GCx Church” or “McCotter-led Church or Bible Teaching” is where they want to continue. It is quite interesting to me that the page-views per month in the last year have averaged somewhere around 200,000 or 2-1/2 million a year. So, I would say that it’s availability, wealth of helpful information, personal testimonies, and validation of experience is still obviously useful and valuable to many.

That breaks down to roughly 6600 pages viewed per day. If only 4 people were viewing a day, there would be nearly 1700 pages a day which is quite unrealistic, but 170 people viewing a day would be more realistic at about 10 pages viewed a day. The number of people writing in this season has decreased, but the viewership certainly has not.

I realized today that my math skills were lacking when I wrote the last paragraph above.

Actually, if 170 people were reading a day they would have to read average of 39 new pages each day. That would be quite a feat. Perhaps it’s more plausible that 600 different IP addresses (~400 people) are reading only 11 new pages a day.

In fact, by virtue of it’s history now over 16 years with more and more former members learning of it, it’s activity has increased significantly from its initial years.
