Look at VgCats the guy updates every few weeks with just one comic and he doesnt even need to have a job anymore.


VGCats blows as of late though he is so freaking lucky to not need a job just doing his comics so infrequently. But alas you are right.

I think the prizes for hot topic could be easily acquired if UncleBob would just clean out his storage unit. (and feed those of us still trapped inside)

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Actually I believe Pro666 has all that and even uploads it to his DivX based site, not that I'm volunteering anyone, but just thought I would point it out.

Pro666 to be new person in charge of video content for NWR? CONFIRMED.

Actually, I have a DVC camera.  I could actually film stuff, but I have abysmal editing skills.

If NWR ever wanted me to tape something, I totally could.  Although, I have no idea what I would need to record, it's possible.

And, it's all the more reason for everyone to visit Florida!

Not to mention, Nintendo had some kind of corporate shindig at LOEWS Hotels' Portofino Bay at Universal Studios last September.  I don't know what it was for, and I don't know who all went, all I know is some marketing lady that said she knew Reggie was leading a crew with a microphone and cameras around a month or two before hand.  So, if it's good enough for Washington-based NOA, it should be plenty good for NWR...

Well, to take this back to the original post, I ran NWR through the normal site tracker I use (compete.com, which for me gives much better results than Alexa) and it seems to turn a much more positive picture. There was a pretty steep drop off here in February, but that's not usual post holiday and general traffic appears to be picking up compared to the time the URL launch:


(tossed in my own site for shits and giggles, and to portray that the Holiday "surge" is usual even for websites)

I love this thread already.  Only read the first page and I short circuited 5 pages of discussion.

For the record, Arbok, the numbers in your graph don't even come out to 1/16th of our actual hits.

hmm, 400k hits? Time to put out some merchandise and convert some of that traffic to cold hard cash!

Well the accuracy in the general hits and surges for my site is around 38%, which was more accurate than Alexa... I guess it's way off this time. Although, wait a minute, when you say hits do you mean repeat visitors or unique visits in a given period? If it's the former, then it only tracks 10% accuracy for my site... but I assume they calculate by the other approach.

I'd still vouch for it being more accurate compared to Amazon's service for traffic, which actually has TohoKingdom above NWR in the most recent three month period, which I highly, highly doubt.

Unique.

And yeah, you're right about it being far more accurate than Alexa. I think the rest of the staff agrees with me that in my being proud of our readership for NOT having that Toolbar piece of crap.
