In fact, looking at the table above, as many people are using the site as ever, but they are viewing more pages and downloading more data (pictures surely). |

Still doesn't say how many uniques there are... |
| By Shawn (Adminorama) on Monday, June 04, 2001 - 02:06 pm: Edit |
Not so Ian. The "sites" bars reflect unique visitors for the month. |

I know a lot of people told me they stop viewing the forum when it gets nasty, so its probably recovered from that a bit. |
| By Shawn (Adminorama) on Monday, June 04, 2001 - 08:41 pm: Edit |
Ron, your music reviews had 671 visitors last month. Not bad! |
| By Ron (Ron) on Tuesday, June 05, 2001 - 10:11 am: Edit |
Cool. Hardly any of them click through the Amazon.com links, though. |

This is so a straight question, pertend it's coming from a stranger. Why are the amazon links important? |
| By HopMichael (Mhwang) on Tuesday, June 05, 2001 - 04:14 pm: Edit |
Check the number of hits on Napster after each new set of reviews =) -Hop "But ideas want to be set free!" Michael |

Cause he gets a little bit of change each time someone buys a CD off of Amazon after clicking threw from his page. |
| By Shawn (Adminorama) on Tuesday, June 05, 2001 - 05:05 pm: Edit |
Seems fair. Some day I'll figure out how I can make money with SwingOrama. Can I pertend to threw up? |
| By Ron (Ron) on Tuesday, June 05, 2001 - 05:33 pm: Edit |
Because it seems to me more of a judge of interest if someone actually clicks thru to read about a CD. And not many people click through, so I figure I'm doing my reviews as more of a labour of love than as a great resource that gets used a lot. I do get money if they order, but it records the click thru even if they don't. But its good to know it has good traffic from Shawn's statistics, but some of that may be automatic web crawlers. |
| By Shawn (Adminorama) on Tuesday, June 05, 2001 - 08:41 pm: Edit |
Automatic web crawlers aren't included in the stats. I think SwingOrama is a labor of love for all concerned. |

I don't use napster, Michael. But for that matter, I don't use Amazon or Ron's reviews. I was just wondering. How much money, Ron? Who's to say that Amazon has the best reviews of albums? I'm really asking. I don't know. |
| By Lisa Conway (Lisaconway) on Wednesday, June 06, 2001 - 05:16 pm: Edit |
Krista...Ron has links in his reviews that go to the Amazon website where the person has the option to buy the CD Ron reviewed...kinda like a referral fee. |
| By CatThyme (Valorie) on Wednesday, June 06, 2001 - 06:10 pm: Edit |
I've never purchased anything from Amazon. But, in the past, I've clicked through Ron's links to Amazon because Amazon often has little snippets of the songs on a cd. And since I'm really bad at song titles and such, it's been helpful for me to find a few things. |
| By Lisa Conway (Lisaconway) on Wednesday, June 06, 2001 - 08:08 pm: Edit |
and if you had bought something, Valorie, you would have been contributing to Ron's nasty drug habit...i.e. he would have gotten money from Amazon...it's called the Affiliates Program and is available to anyone out there! |
| By Ron (Ron) on Thursday, June 07, 2001 - 09:53 am: Edit |
Yeah, I get 5% I think. I end up making about $15/month. And most of it is from the CDs I personally order. Won't buy a lot of drugs! Amazon.com is my favorite CD vendor, they seem to have the most selection, but CDNow is pretty good, too, they have snippets for more songs, usually. |

I don't give a stinkamabob about anyones music reviews.... |
| By Spawn of Satan (Melbamoose) on Thursday, June 07, 2001 - 04:33 pm: Edit |
oh. Thanks Lisa. Yeah, Nancy, I'm with you. |
