Intresting stats

[Jock Dempsey <guru@anvilfire.com>]

As sites move to my new Ringlink system the statistics become intresting.
During the past month and a half:
   276 Times the hosting page accessed (at least 1/2 by me)
   866  Times the list page has been accessed 
 3,898  Banners displayed.
 5,590  Ring pl files accessed (total ring traffic)
18,544  js files served (Navbars loaded = member traffic)
   103 Mbytes data transfered
     3.4 Mbytes data per day.
The data transfer is largely the js files.  The graphics are about 1/3.
Seems they are cached and the js is not.
The intresting item is the number of banners per LIST access.  The banners
change as the user goes to the next page in the list.  The current average
is 4.5 banner views per list.  I had estimated that LIST gets used about
10% of the ring traffic but it is currently at 15%.  That brings the LIST
page banners up to that 2/3 of ring traffic number.  This is quite a
difference from my estimated 10%.
The above stats are for several rings running at about 50% on Ringlink and
50% still on Yahoo.  They are also based on starting at zero and some of
the stats not recorded from the begining.  Current monthly values are
probably double.  It will take until January before these rings are running
100% again.
In January we will be serving at least 16,000 banners per month.
Previously Yring would have sold these banner impressions for $600.  Not
any more. . .
