MMmmmuuuu rtlToronto Snacks!!  (smack lips sound)



Since Chris asked about how much traffic we received after CityTV, on
average,

Asked... HA i begged 3 different time.... then I had to threaten  the safety of
your pet fish....


we serve 5000-9000 requests a day off of Peach.

5 - 9 THOUSAD per DAY!!!!!

holy hits bat people!!!!

FIVE THOUSAND!!!!!!

FIVE THOUSAND!!!!

OMG!!!!    FIVE THOUSAND, per day???

how many of those are spiders?

even still, if someone gave us a penny a hit..... thats.... that  ummm,

sec.

umm,

carry the one....

divide by 60....

ummm

got it...




5 thousand pennys a day!!

wow that a lot of pennies.`

so who wants to pay us $50/day.

or better yet, if calum used a bigger font to help premote  the sale of the
rtlToronto swag... we could do all our events for free.  then we could afford to
not colect yearly membership dues,  we would not have to collect the robot entry
fee.....

Oh, wait.  we dont do any of that now.

maybe we should??

:)



On Peach is the
rtlToronto page, and the personal webpages of three MIE grad students in our
lab.  It is a Sun SPARCserver20 running Solaris8/Apache with two Seagate
Barracuda UWSCSI disks.

Hits to Peachy nearly doubled this week on Monday after the CityTV
BreakfastTV segment:

Mon   Tues  Wed
14242, 8747, 9819 (this week-Monday was the TV show)
6814, 6607, 7218 (last week)
7464, 6397, 8924 (two weeks ago)

In comparison, when the Toronto Star article ran, there was no marked
increase in hits to our website, probably because the address rtltoronto.org
wasn't listed in the article, unlike on BreakfastTV, where our address was
scrolled across onscreen with a Chyron crawl and also on their website.

Some more interesting items mined from the peach.mie server logs:

-2.55GB a week of data.

-Largest network accesses from Sympatico, Rogers and U of T's own backbone


thats cause the content is so media rich, it would be pointless to try to see
this GREAT page with anything other than high speed.



-Top requests of words from search engines:

1744: lego
  423: sony
  354: toronto
  307: train
  285: of
  273: picture
  253: amiga
  248: slv


so, like do you serve the only FAQ about the Sony SLV-R5UC???  whats you
fascinations with the Sony SLV-R5UC??  why did you put a toy car in your Sony
SLV-R5UC.



(This confirms Chris and I suggesting to people to type in "lego and
toronto" in a search engine before we got rtlToronto.org)

-Ratio of Windows to Amiga users visiting peach.mie: 293566:67.  Or, about
0.02% are still using my favourite computer.

-Hits peak at noon and 10PM.

Calum

Calum, this is a GREAT bit of information.  Thank you very much.  I now know
that the words toronto, and Lego are synonymous with rtlToronto.

now how do we turn all those hits per week into CASH?????

Why do solar calculators have an off button?
