Many new records set last month on the TDR site!

[Steve St.Laurent]

Our growth on the website continues! In addition to setting new records every few days for the max number of users online we set records on all of our traffic counts for the month. Our current user records is 608 users online on 11/25 - our record before this month was 511 on 10/21 and last year at this time our record was 304 users online (hmmm - EXACTLY 1/2). We have set new records for traffic every month for the last 4 months (traffic always slows down during the summer months). Here's a comparison of our traffic this month versus last month



<table border="1"><tr><td></td><td>Oct 2003</td><td>Nov 2003</td><td>Increase</td></tr><tr><td>Daily average hits</td><td>814823</td><td>866460</td><td>6. 3%</td></tr><tr><td>Daily average files</td><td>368528</td><td>395762</td><td>7. 4%</td></tr><tr><td>Daily average pages</td><td>36550</td><td>39311</td><td>7. 6%</td></tr><tr><td>Daily average visits</td><td>7525</td><td>8077</td><td>7. 3%</td></tr><tr><td>Monthly bandwidth</td><td>186,234,649 Kb</td><td>196,410,885 Kb</td><td>5. 5%</td></tr></table>



That monthly bandwidth total is with 1 less day this month than last to boot. Here's a comparison of last month last year compared to this year:



<table border="1"><tr><td></td><td>Nov 2002</td><td>Nov 2003</td><td>Increase</td></tr><tr><td>Daily average hits</td><td>688962</td><td>866460</td><td>26%</td></tr><tr><td>Daily average files</td><td>253084</td><td>395762</td><td>56. 4%</td></tr><tr><td>Daily average pages</td><td>21930</td><td>39311</td><td>79. 3%</td></tr><tr><td>Daily average visits</td><td>5437</td><td>8077</td><td>48%</td></tr><tr><td>Monthly bandwidth</td><td>120,302,424 Kb</td><td>196,410,885 Kb</td><td>63. 3%</td></tr></table>



The most accurate numbers for comparisons there are the average files and visits, and the monthly bandwidth. Because of the site redesign back in january the hits and pages numbers changed quite a bit due to the way the pages are loaded. As you can see we've experienced over a 60% growth in traffic from last year to this year!! The best news is that the investment the TDR made in the file servers last year is working out great with continued good performance from the servers and a minimum of down time. I'm seeing no significant increase in load to the servers at this point even with the increased load. The TDR website data alone is a 5. 4 Gigabyte file in compressed format!!



Just thought I'd give you guys/gals some numbers that the geek in you may be interested in ! Here's to continued growth!

THE Word must Be OUT!!!!

The word is out that this is the site to go to for the top notch info and camaraderie. I have noticed that there is a lot of new people on here that are first time diesel owners that are thirsty for information.



DRINK UP and enjoy!!!!
