Brad Posted November 22, 2007 Author Posted November 22, 2007 And the servers are kworking great. I have not had any problems like last year! Great Job Gottadeal! i am starting to have problems. it keeps giving me a database error message.Yeah we had too many connections to the database, so we had to increase the limit (again!). Things will be busy the rest of the night, but tomorrow and Friday won't be nearly as busy on the site as people are shopping, with family, etc...
Kokimo Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Are the figures below just for the forum or for the site in general? I'm just curious because I've been trying to get to my shopping list for about 20 minutes and it says it's temporarily disabled because of high traffic, but the number of users online at the bottom of the main forum page was only 109 when I last checked.
deelite Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Congratulations!!!! GottaDeal is as you know DA BOMB!! Here is to many many more record breaking days!

The Black Friday site (where the shopping list is) gets 5-10x the traffic of the forum at any given point. And the 109 you saw was because the database was reset, so people were getting re-counted :) The shopping list features is back up right now.
krissy72 Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Hey, maybe with these numbers Target will re-think the decision to terminate the affiliate relationship they had with you.
smurf94409 Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 I LOVE THIS WEBSITE. I AM ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT IT. THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME WEBSITE!!!!!! Thank you :g_clap:
Brad Posted November 22, 2007 Author Posted November 22, 2007 The number of forum users is going to decrease now because I changed some of the links on the BF site to point to other pages on the BF site rather than pages here on the forum.
zingerhil Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 You should have checked 2 minutes earlier Most users ever online was 3,677, 11-21-2007 at 5:28 PM.
smokythebear Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 shopping list will be back up maybe around 11?
Brad Posted November 22, 2007 Author Posted November 22, 2007 shopping list will be back up maybe around 11?As soon as the servers can support it, the shopping list will be back up. Sometime tonight most likely. With so many people, there is just an incredible amount of interaction with the database with people adding & removing items. So the choice is we either have it working but everything slows to a crawl or we turn off the list temporarily and things are bearable Today (the Wednesday before BF) is always the busiest day of the year, so just please be patient with everything. It's not really practical to bring in a bunch of extra servers for one day, so we deal with it the best we can :)
smokythebear Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 haha okay im just being obnoxious thanks for the detailed reply :-P
nirvana4all Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Wow, the "on" under forums just dropped from almost 3600 to now only about 1400...guess your links did take a lot of guests off the forums.
Brad Posted November 25, 2007 Author Posted November 25, 2007 How many was the max this year?Most users ever online was 3,677, 11-21-2007 at 4:28 PM (CT)
nirvana4all Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 drat, saw that above, but hoped we would crack 4700 on 11/22 before it was over. Thanks

Brad Posted December 9, 2007 Author Posted December 9, 2007 Anyone see this?Gottadeal is just shy of 1million unique visitors a month, and just broke into the top 2500 websites!!U.S. Reach: Rank: 2276 Estimated Monthly Uniques: 989,709 all per quantcast.comDon't put much weight in sites like Quantcast, Alexa, etc... Those numbers are much lower than the real numbers.
nirvana4all Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Wow, I thought a million was a good number...way to go brad!
