Website visits hits high! November 18th, 2004
There was a post about HDTV tuner cards this morning on <a href="http://www.thenextwindow.com/exit.php?url_id=82&entry_id=23" title="http://www.slashdot.org" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.slashdot.org';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;">Slashdot</a>. I made one of the earliest followup comments, regarding why HDTV cards are available for off-the-air only and not for cable systems yet. I also pointed to my Home Theater PC articles on my web site.<br />
<br />
WOW! As of 8:10pm (about 10.5 hours later), my website has had 3635 hits today, which is about 25 times normal. Most of the folks just looked, though. <br />
<br />
Analysis — next day:<br />
Interesting numbers. Google Adsense reports 3,698 hits to the website yesterday. On the other hand, awstats at Powweb shows 717 visits, 1,957 pages viewed, and 7,708 hits. That's over double the number of hits reported by Google Adsense, despite having a google adbar on each web page. Hummmm…<br />
<br />
Anyway, with all those visits, there were few clicks on Google ads on my website yesterday — looks like Slashdot readers don't click on Googles ads.
