A milestone...

Post by drew »

At some point in the last few days the 20,000th copy of Status Quo was downloaded. Pretty happy with that, downloads are running at about 400/month at the moment, so there still seems to be plenty of interest. Will be interesting to see what happens with Incursio!

Cheers,

Drew.

Very, very cool!

Congratulations Drew. Well done! :)
Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

400 downloads per month is a pretty impressive statistic – there are writers out there who would give their right arms for 400 hits per month!

I get a bit bemused by the various stats programmes I have running.

My website, on an average monthly basis...

Webalizer claims:
100,000 hits, 11,000 visits, 20,000 pageviews

AWStats claims:
78,000 hits, 5,500 visits, 15,000 pageviews

Google Analytics claims:
20,000 hits, 1,400 visits, 3,000 pageviews

I'm assuming the google one is most accurate, though it could be down to the way I redirect some stuff between parts of the site. Downloads of the books are tracked using a counter, so I'm a bit more happy with those.

Cheers,

Drew.

I wonder if that was me....

I downloaded all your oofic the other day and have read it all in about 4 days.
Now anticipating the next part.

It'll be interesting to see how many downloads you get on 1st July.

Decided to bite the bullet and rebuild my website properly in advance of the 1st! If there are some outages, that will be why!

Cheers,

Drew.

Yeah, had it on iBooks on my phone so just kept dipping in whenever I could.

I thought I should get up to speed on the current OOfic before going any further with my own.
