Funny, traffic went down in the fall/winter months. Whodathunkit.

wht d u mean? outside of 2004 being an exceptionally bad year it seems like interest wanes in the late summer/fall months--as would be expected--perhaps people are out on riding vacations.

the other thing of note was interest seemed to be higher from mid 05 to 06--now that IS interesting.

ASR, your irony-meter needs recalibrating.

It did? Maybe this year it did....part of the overall trend.

What I want to know is what was significant about 2006 in the 1st quarter and now the continuous decline to mid 2003 values.

Explanation - (NM)

I think I've lurked long enough to give the corporate response:

 

[E !]

I wonder?

What the big spike in the begining of 06 was about?

 

[LyNx]

ROF LMAO looks kinda like mine sometimes too

That looks like my heart rate monitor......

Traffic kicks up after X-mas 'cause people have just got a crap load of new stuff or money and want to find out how they work/need to be setup or what to buy.

I think I've lurked long enough to give the corporate response:

ok, now that is friggen funny!

 

[rideit]

I think F88 would have a whole different interpretation!

Interesting graph. Things haven't been this bad since late '04 and being that this winter is really weak, either everyone is riding or mtbing is dead.rofl

 

[LyNx]

Thats was one year after the first Trance's were launched and everyone wanted mre info on them and saw my Thread LMAO MTBing has just become more chic is all - it's trendy, it's hip, it's in - well it was anyway, now something else is the next trendy thing and traffic has eased up.

What the big spike in the beggining of 06 was about?

 

[K'Endo]

ok, now that is friggen funny!

No kidding ... I actually did LOL. But seriously, the discontinuation of animated GIF avatars is a heinous crime and clearly the numbers show it.

Kn.

 

[CanOnlyRide]

yea hopefully everyone is riding! or maybe everyone is out doing some cross riding so therefore they are all over on roadbikereview.com

For the record Alexa is nothing more then interesting. The way it calculates statistics is flawed at best but thats just the evil web designer in me. :madmax:

I did find it amusing that under "Most Popular In Mountain Biking" MTBR.com is #2 and Pink Bike is #1.



I am curious to know what was the cause for the rapid decrease in 3Q03 and rapid increase during 4Q04?

 

[ThrashNY]

The Lance Effect mid-05? A milder winter early '06? Who TF knows....

I wonder about that, too. I swear there's more posting going on during winter than summer. In my eyes it makes sense - people are out riding during summer, too busy to post. During winter people are bored and seek stimulation.

Well, it could go either way, really - in the summer people are "reminded" of MTBR and/or need to ask how to fix something they just broke. During winter people are too busy skiing and doing other winter activities.

So, Nappy, just how DOES Alexa add it all up?

I was going to post about winter time post whoring, but notaknob's post is simply perfect. You could sub the names sooo easily.

I guess the next jump is now with Frank's booting?

Amusing, especially Bruce's contribution, but useless.

Who actually would install and use that nasty toolbar?
