BenJammin Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 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. 2 Quote Link to comment

BenJammin Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment
BenJammin Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 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.

Fast510 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 What about adding a Vendor section? For Vendors Only? I think there's a list of some not all of them under discussions. It would be nice to know who's New and active. And what parts they have to offer for our Datsuns. Quote Link to comment
