hi all
thanks for the welcome!
im not doing any christmas flowers this year, though ive thought alot about it. im in the process of planting more trees and shrubs for winter foliage and berries.
true that flwers are cheap to start and true that it's jolly hard work! i love being at markets and seeing the smiles on faces when they buy beautiful, REAL flowers though! i'd like to expand into food and keep thinking bagged salads with a wide variety of leaves and edible flowers would be quite saleable. anyone tried this? at the moment though im fairly low-tech!
hi phobos! im just up the road, t'other side of Leek! there's a local green initiative looking at microhydro, and we've had village meetings about global warming, but the peak oil thing makes people look at me as though ive finally gone round the twist...
:--)

Re: New Registrations on Powerswitch forum
Do you have any info on how many "hits" the site gets a day, and how this number is growing with time? Also can you see how many of these visitors return regularly and what proportion is from one-off surfers (who sort of stumble into Powerswitch, have a quick look, and then scarper, never to return)?Pippa wrote:Therefore I thought that it would be interesting to look at membership registration as it is now a more reliable indicator of interest in this site.
We currently have 705 registered members on this site.
In the two and a bit months of September, October and November we have a total of 77 new members, all of which we can count as genuine.
This number equates to nearly 11% of our total membership.
September - 25 new members
October - 34 new members
November so far, - 18 new members
Or are these questions just a bit nerdy?!

The statistics which I posted came from the memberlist which is available to everyone.
As for finding out about the hits you have probably looked at the "Who is on Line field which is found at the bottom of the forum index.
I must be a nerd as I have been watching those statistics for quite a while - they are as interesting to me as most of the posts
Anyway, you can see that the most users on line was 9th November 2007. Until a month or so ago, the most users on line was back in December 2006. The "record" has been broken two times since then (both recently) and now stands as seen.
Anyone can see which registered users are on line using this method as well. I can see how many guests are browsing the forum by going to the admin panel but they are anonymous and as far as I know the board doesn't store any more statistics than those visible to us all on the Who is online part of the site.
I couldn't tell you who visits the most although the most vocal of us are pretty obvious from the number of posts against our names.

Regarding your comment about bagged salads etc., we had a Friday round delivering table flowers to local pubs and restaurants. We got a few requests for veggies and what have you so started growing easy stuff which we then delivered in with the flowers, very inexpensive to get going and look after, doubled up on delivery effectiveness, worked really well and v. profitable.temerity wrote:hi all

I was wondering more about the overall hits from non-members really - whether there are hundreds or thousands or 10s of thousands of visitors a day. Thanks for the info anyway!Pippa wrote:As for finding out about the hits you have probably looked at the "Who is on Line field which is found at the bottom of the forum index.
[And I'm quite enjoying all the stuff about flowers and veg delivery too!!
