Purple Row welcomes visitor #1,000,000!

by Rox Girl on Jul 28, 2009 3:09 PM MDT in Miscellaneous

But visitor #999,999, you're a really big meanie and we just wish you'd go away. Okay, you could sit up there, but you can only get cake when everybody else is finished...

Kidding..,

Insult one cute little girl and everybody thinks you're bad or something.

Thanks to all of Purple Row's many visitors and contributors who have helped make this such a great place for Rockies fans. We appreciate your continued support.

We're actually still one or two away when I post this,

But I want to be sure #1,000,000 feels special and actually sees it.

Who’s visiting from Las Vegas?

Bryce Harper?

It must be...

Whoever it was didn’t stay very long. That was a bit anticlimactic. I guess now that we know that they aren’t here, it’s alright to mention that we had a great prize package for them….

Visitor #999,999 was actually visiting from Denver, from their place of employment, it looks like, and visitor 1,000,001 came from Galveston, TX.

It's kind of like a guy walking into a store

And the balloons drop and all that….and he asks for change for the meter.

I plead the fifth

on whether or not I visited the Row while at work. Those damn IT people are always checking stuff like that. Gotta be careful, it’s a bear market after all.

what does PR do in terms of pagviews or visits on an average day? 2,500? 5,000? The new comment system is awesome but the old “refresh to see comments” approach probably really spiked pageviews in game threads and the like.

by moomacher on Jul 28, 2009 3:53 PM MDT reply actions

Last couple of months we've been averaging about 2200 visits,

5500 page views/day

I'm having way too much fun prying into the visitors to the site.

-I found someone with an IP address from the Colorado Rockies offices.
-A Mets fan in Thailand spent nearly 10 minutes reading our series preview.
-Someone who works for Cotton, Inc. in North Carolina did a Google search for marquis, trade, viscaino [sic] and was linked to PR.

If you click on the "Who's on" link

from the Sitemeter page and then click on the visitor number, you can look at where their ISP’s are coming from.

All of you guys do such a great job with this site. It’s my daily addiction. I don’t post much but I’m here all the time.

Well, that was the only page he read.

I think there was something else that made me think that, too. But I can’t remember now, and I don’t think I can find it again.

Do you use Electric Lightwave as an ISP?

by Rox Girl on Jul 28, 2009 4:40 PM MDT up reply actions

indeed

very well could be!! I want to thank you RoxGirl and everybody else, this site is amazing. When others call it an addiction, there is no better word to describe it. I havent been a frequent poster, but trust me when I say I doubt there is a comment or story on this site i have passed over! Continue the great work

Hmm, I come up as "unknown"

on the “Who’s on” page. Still, being mysterious is quite cool.

I’ll just add that Purple Row amazes me in its comprehensiveness – I can’t imagine finding a sports community site that’s so full of content, up to date and totally readable. Thanks guys.
