Hmm. Are you shooting yourself for the Cotton Eye Joe reference then? snoopcester Send a noteboard - 04/11/2010 12:54:21 PM
So where've we come from, Boss?


Please, no need to call me Boss though I admit it is flattering:)

Visitors trends slightly different, in that they've increased a lot more recently. The fact that they haven't affected pageviews much means they're likely new users arriving here from search results and not hanging around for long. Again, this increase is almost certainly related to Towers of Midnight.


Perhaps since it is around release time, bump the WOT stuff up the order on the homepage to make sure people who do arrive for it don't miss it?


Also, the big spike in visits at the end of July 2010 is when Brandon Sanderson linked to the Books board on Facebook/Twitter for our Way of Kings giveaway. Impressive what it does, right?).


So someone needs to find a way to trick more authors into linking to the site then?:P

You can introduce your friends to the site. Print off some flyers, and leave 'em in books in the library. Spread the word at other forums you visit.


Perhaps seek to more actively connect with other sites?
The 13th Depository for example which has the FAQ. They might be willing to have a link on their site for here (offering RAFO as a destination for general book and film discussion as well as a community board for people who like reading) in exchange for a link on the WOT board pointing people to the FAQ?
