I have noticed the past few weekends that ThinkComputers traffic has been way up. I’m not 100% sure of the reason, but I have a few guesses. First off it has nothing to do with the products that are being reviewed, because I usually save smaller, less popular items for the weekend as usually there is not as much traffic. Normally the weekdays have higher traffic, especially Monday. This traffic has been awesome, especially for google since my earnings for the weekend have been up 3x of what I get on weekdays. The main reason I think for the traffic is everyone is back to school, college and highschool kids and they are very busy so the only time they have to check out stuff on the internet is the weekend. If this were the reason then weekday traffic would be down right? Well our weekday traffic has been the same so I’m still really not sure where all this weekend traffic is coming from! Whatever the case is it’s good!
Well according to John in this post I am not a dot com mogul! I only don’t meet one of those requirements, you can take a guess at what it is. Very soon I will meet that last requirement and then John will have to call me a dot com mogul! Until then…..oh well…
Well I was looking over my traffic the past few days and I came across some interesting information, more people are viewing my site in firefox than IE. This really suprised me because IE comes with almost every PC you buy (with windows). You have to download and install firefox. This tell you one of 2 things either IE is really bad or firefox is really good. To be honest the only thing I use IE for is windows update and sometimes if I am doing some webdesign I will see if the page looks the same in IE. I really enjoy firefox and all of the extensions you can dowload (for free). Now just because more people are viewing my site in firefox does not me that will be the case for other sites. My site is a tech site so most of the readers have heard of firefox and know how to download and install it. If you site has to do with sports or gardening then you might have more people viewing it in IE. It just thought it was interesting that more people are using firefox than IE.
Well if you stop over at ThinkGaming you will notice it looks a lot like ThinkComputers. The old version of ThinkGaming was running on Joomla CMS and it just was not working out. The reason was I was not able to put things exactly where I wanted them and I had to use a template and it was hard to work with. So after thinking about it I took the time to transform the ThinkComputers layout into a layout for ThinkGaming. I think it looks good and it will do great for ads. It has all of the ad placements that I want, especially the in-article Shopping.com ads. They are ThinkComputers #1 income, so hopefully they will do well on ThinkGaming. Also I still wanted to keep a commenting system like the old version of ThinkGaming had so I used cutenews to do that and it works well. Now that I have the site looking how I want it I just have to push content onto it and all will go well!!
This past weekend Phil, Dan, Rob and I went down to Washington, DC to see Armin Van Buuren. If you do not follow trance at all Armin Van Buuren is a DJ. He is currently ranked #3 on The DJ List. The show was on Saturday night at a place called Fur that kinda was in the middle of nowwhere. We got there around 9:45 and waited in line to get into the show. While we waited we talked to a few people and found out a lot of people came from out of state (like us) to see the show. The show went from 10PM to 5AM. We could only last till 3AM. At 3 we made out way back to the hotel and went to sleep. During the entire show Armin was dancing and having a great time! Not sure how he did it because we could only last till 3AM and were exhausted!! Here are some videos I took of the show…
