The average daily hit on the HOC website was 55. on Friday there was 73 hits and by 8.30pm on saturday a further 80 - but that was probably distorted by the link Old Man HOC put in from this thread late on Friday evening. the daily average has now gone up to 64.
It would be interesting if any other webmasters could have a look at thir hit rate over Friday and saturday to se if there was any change.
At the Bok trot today there was such a high number of EOD that they ran out of maps. Of the 9 runners on the white, 6 were Ind and did not appear to tie in with anyone taking part in the schools' league - it was of course a lovely day and the bluebells were beautiful. how were things at other events round the country?
Did anyone read it?

It was nice and sunny, but still a bit chilly, at Gatwick at 6:30am.
Raining midafternoon in Atlanta.
Warm and sunny evening in Florida.
Sadly did not attend an orienteering event today (or even yesterday)

Turnout was on the low side at Northcliffe & Heaton - 165 with few INDs. Bluebells were lovely here too.
Did get one family who had turned up for rugby practice (which was cancelled 'cos we were parking at the rubgy club) - after asking what was going on they went home, got their dad and came back to have a go.

CLOK Event
there were a lot of INDs at the clok event - especially on the red - did they invite a running club or was there any other reason - does anyone know?
I am in CLOK but wasn't at the event on Sunday - Graythwaite was much too tempting.
From what I can see from the results, the INDs were a combination of schools spinoff (we expect 250+ at the penultimate Schools event on Wednesday) plus a few runners since there was no decent fell race locally. As far as I know there were no special inivitations and, whilst their absolute numbers are low, the INDs were more than 10% of the entries so do seem worthwhile ffom the club's viewpoint.

Sorry to bang on about this - but i would like to know -we had a very large statistical blip of web page hits on Friday, saturday and monday - and a big dip on sunday (perhaps everyone was out orienteering) I've tried and tried to import the graph to show you but i just can't get it to work - might send it to someone at nope to do it. does anyone else have access to their website stats and if so - do they show any unusual movment?

cheers Godders - seems to show a big dip over the period concerned Mind you - i don't even know for sure the letter appeared in Scottish editions (suspect it wouldn't) I've sent my graph to Pyrat to try and get it in the thread.

usually weekends will show lower amount of visitors as people in general browse the internet during the week, when at work (only at lunchtime mind )/uni/etc
i saw the graph yesterday, you almost had it mrs h! but you deleted the post before I got a chance to sort it

Just to back up the fact that most orienteers are out competing on Sundays and not websurfing, have a look at the hit stats for the World Cup website below:
Just as a reminder, the five days of the main competition were Friday 29th to Tuesday 3rd, with the Sunday (1st May) showing a significant dip.
We're not talking about small sample sizes here either, so the Sunday dip (of the order of 1000 fewer hits) looks to be statistically meaningful.

Are these the hits for the main world cup website?
I.e. not inluding any hits on the live site.
I ask because the live site moved server during the weekend and this would invalidate the figures if those hits are included for part of the time and not for the rest.
For club sites it would be worth comparing the number of hits over a weekend where the club has an event to a weekend when they do not. If a club has an event on a Sunday then you would expect that hits would be high on Friday/Saturday (as people check the details), but also high on Sunday/Monday with people checking the results.
For the world cup website the runs were later in the day and it was a bank holiday weekend, which one would think would skew the information (though whether one would predict that skew is a different issue).
Sidetrack: Earlier this week I was in a presentation by someone from Shodor (a US education foundation, which is for promoting science/maths to schools - including cirriculum based learning materials). Towards the end he showed some stuff from the hits stats for the site (300,000 average per day) and they showed striking patterns. High use on weekdays, but lower on Friday. Few hits on Saturday with a few more on Sunday. Exactly reflecting the pattern of how the average student does their homework

Harlequin Web Stats
Not sure where Mrs. H got her stats from - I guess Old Man HOC. I have access to the stats from the ISP and this looks more like what I would have expected.
I'm told I do it better in the dark
