Promo Newsletter #2

 

 
I'm giving this message a label of "PromNews2" as a possible introduction to more of these messages describing the promotional planning and activities for Vibrant Life and Emmessar Biotech & Nutrition, Ltd.  These will each have a special place on a web site.
 
This message relates to the amount of traffic on the 38 different web sites published by Karl Loren.  In simple-to-understand terms we used to have a program that gave us this type of data in terms of "the number of unique visitors" to a website or one page.  Some years ago we were regularly receiving some 15,000 visitors per day and could trace that down to the number for any one page and even more detail.  We no longer use that program, but have another available with the services provided by our server..
 

This is an interesting set of statistics I had not realized is available to us.  This is a table provided as a regular service at our "Plesk" feature -- part of the NetNation service we pay for. Here is a general web-based explanation of "web traffic."

Web traffic is the amount of data sent and received by visitors to a web site. It is a large portion of Internet traffic. This is determined by the number of visitors and the number of pages they visit. Sites monitor the incoming and outgoing traffic to see which parts or pages of their site are popular and if there are any apparent trends, such as one specific page being viewed mostly by people in a particular country. There are many ways to monitor this traffic and the gathered data is used to help structure sites, highlight security problems or indicate a potential lack of bandwidth – not all web traffic is welcome.

Some companies offer advertising schemes that, in return for increased web traffic (visitors), pay for screen space on the site. Sites also often aim to increase their web traffic through inclusion on search engines. 


The data below is the "traffic" during the month of March 2006.  This one set of statistics, for one month, can only be truly understood by COMPARING this set for March with another similar set for another month.  It is really only the increase or decrease that is most useful.
 
The absolute amount of  "72,062.10 MB" is not inherently understandable, nor is the help item provided by the source that much better.
 
The number can be read:  "72,000 MegaBytes" and you then have to understand what is an "MB" or "MegaByte?"  A term that might be easier to understand is that "72,000 MB is equal to 72 GigaBytes, or 72 GB."  For simple purposes that number represents the amount of space occupied on a hard drive of a computer -- for the pages that were sent.  If ONE page has 1 MB of space usage, and that one page is viewed 10 times, the traffic would be 10 MB for that one page.  The same page is counted once for every time someone looks at it, whether he spends one second or 10 minutes to look. Our web sites had 72,000 MB of stuff sent to browsers during March.
 
For a simple statement: "Usage of a web site is measured, in part, by the amount of 'stuff' which is called from the server to be placed on the screen of some visitor.  The 'stuff' sits there on the server, not being counted for anything.  It just takes up space.  How much space does it take up?  All the 100,000 pages on all my web sites occupy a bit less than 1 GB.  The above statistic is about the same as saying that "our traffic is equivalent of every page on all webs being looked at SEVENTY times per month."
 
Some guy puts an address in his browser -- www.bulkmsm.com/index.htm and that represents ONE page (or file) which sits on the server.  The server uses up some of its energy to send that page to the browser.  How much was sent?  The server measures amount by the amount of memory needed to store the one page that was delivered to the browser. 
 

(A page with lots of heavy-memory images will show up as a much higher traffic on the page.  This is why comparing one page with a different page that may have no images makes this type of comparison not useful.  But, comparing the usage for one page today with the same page next week shows a useful change.) 

The table below shows that the new web sites (www.ayurceutical.com and www.ayurcream.org) had no pages sent to browsers during March. In fact these web sites were first published in April. However you can see that the success of any marketing campaign aimed at increase the number of visitors to a web site can be easily masured with these readily available statistics.

At the other end is "www.oralchelation.com" which attracted viewers who "downloaded" or requested some 26 GB of pages during March. The links below take you to a restricted web site. Generally Karl and Gordon are the only two persons who access this web restricted site.
