Site traffic with new classifieds ?

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if there was any site traffic stats since the changeover to the new classifieds ?

 

Has it been a plus or minus for cultivating membership and long-term involvement here ?

 

Gross number of hits may not be the best indicator over the short term, but things like  repeat visitors (and accompanying registrations) after initial visit to classifieds,etc ?  (as compared to old numbers)

 

Just curious if anyone was tracking on this.

No idea, I hardly go there. Shrug actually. The Classifieds, now as before, is offered as a convenience to all members and a great way to save old parts and keep our Datsuns on the road. There are 23 pages showing, with 15 ads per page so almost 350 ads of which 264 are active and the rest expired. I have no idea if this is up or down over the old, but if it seems quiet it's because there is less useless post saying GLWS, socializing, chattering, opinions on what something is worth, derailed posts or flaming and arguing. Oh and a lot less people not interested in buying but asking for a picture of the item for sale. Just buyers and sellers there for a reason.

Really?  This again? :sick:

 

I'm not trying to get anyone's gimbles torqued or put people back on the defensive here...  I was just asking the question in earnest now that the new ads have been around for awhile.   The data could actually be a good thing... if anyone was interested in that sort of stuff.  

 

As in the casino operators in Vegas like to know if people came for the gambling and stayed for the attractions or visa versa.

Ohhhh, well in that case. Truly I do not know. A lot of information used to take place on the old classifieds and that was a good thing but the negatives outweighed the good. It needed constant attention like a high maintenance g/f..

 

To be honest I derailed a few post myself.

Thanks Mike... again not contesting anything here about the merits or pitfalls of the old vs new.  Just looking at it from a web content point of view and what drives traffic to a site  (and keeps people coming back) and if that facet has changed for better or worse or made no difference whatsoever.   Not looking to beat that horse again about "why".

 

... but then again since Ratsun doesn't do ads, unless you count vendor classifieds... maybe it really doesn't make a difference anyway.
