some site traffic numbers for this week


Brad

Recommended Posts

For those of you who might be interested, here are some numbers on traffic to the site for the week leading up to Black Friday (Saturday 11/17 to Friday 11/23) compared to the same week last year:

 

Black Friday Site (http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com)

Total Visitors: up 14.6% from 2006

Unique Visitors: up 11.8% from 2006

 

GottaDeal.com Forums (http://forums.gottadeal.com)

Total Visitors: up 51.7% from 2006

Unique Visitors: up 66.9% from 2006

 

So the Black Friday site had a little more traffic compared to last year, which I didn't expect since we had much less major media coverage this year (and a lot of the big coverage came in mid-October because of the WM fiasco), plus there are now about 1,278 Black Friday sites out there trying to take our visitors away, but I guess it didn't work too well for them :P

 

And the forum traffic jump was absolutely huge this year. We more than doubled the previous record for number of users online on Wednesday afternoon. And it wasn't just the traffic - you guys are posting like crazy too. I took a look around today and once again we had the most posts of any Black Friday forum this year (which doesn't even include our Holiday forum), and that includes the BF forums at huge deal sites with millions of visitors. So give yourselves a pat on the back for not just lurking, but participating as well. And don't stop now - the forum is open all year :)

 

Thanks to all our forum members and especially our invaluable team of moderators for a great Black Friday 2007 here on the forum! :cool:

Great job Brad.

 

I discovered this site just doing a random google search for 'black friday san antonio', and you guys do a great job of organizing the information that I'm looking for.

 

I'll stick around all year keeping an eye on the other great deals you guys post on the main site.

A big thanks to you Brad and "the moderators" and for such a super site. Honestly this is the only site like this I have ever been on. I don't have enough time to go lurking around on all those others (not that I'd want to, LOL!) ;) I have saved so much money thanks to EVERYONE, including posters. :yup I have also brought some relatives to this site and 2 co-workers this year. They LOVE it and never knew such a site even existed. This is SUPER, THANKS!!! :D

What a fantastic site! The forums were huge this year, with all the cyber deals this year it was a great help with getting doorbuster items. I was able to get the sony camera for 77.00 at Frys and the Zune for 99.00 at BB all the while having coffee and relaxing at home. I cant say enough great things about the site. Keep up the great work Brad and team!!!
