WinCustomize - Febuary 2002

Traffic in February was down from January by around 100,000 unique visitors. Then again, with 3 fewer days (we average around 30,000 to 35,000 uniques per day) the results aren't surprising.

Febuary was dominated by the GUI Olympics over at http://www.guiolympics.com. We have seen a real increase in the creation of skins of all kinds. February was a great month for new skins.

One challenge we face is that the site is getting slower and slower. After the GUI Olympics is done, we are going to be putting some effort into rewriting some of the underpinnings to the site to make it use the database less.

Last month referrals came from:
Stardock (69.22%)
Customize.org (0.61%)
Neowin (0.52%)
deviantART (0.49%)
TweakXP (0.47%)
Deskmod (0.45%)
Others (27.94%)

We thank all the sites that link to us. Without you, there'd be no WinCustomize!

If your site is linking to WinCustomize and you would like to know your referral info, post (don't email) here and I'll look it up for you.

It might be because your system thinks people have signed out every couple pages and I have to exit Internet Explorer and then reopen your page and then sign back in. A couple of pages later if I try to download something again it tells me to register to download even though it says " Welcome Citizen Scott Holmes!" at the top of that page. It is very frustrating. I sometimes have to delete my cookies for this site to get back on.

I don't. But anyway, how big is the share of direct request (people accessing by bookmarks and such)?
