Title: Big Linkage
Post by: Mr_Pleasington on October 15, 2004, 08:57:57 PM: TWG has been scooped.

Front page of EnWorld (the biggest d20 site out there) has a link to here and to my Eberron Adventure Roundup under their reviews section.

So that's pretty cool.

I cannot account for the strange lyrics that appear in the folk/blues/jazz/rock/psychedelic stylings of he who is Van Morrison. But he's amazing to listen to. I think by far his coolest line ever is "Playing dominoes in drag." No idea why, but it's a trip.

Post by: Spriggan on November 25, 2004, 09:23:58 AM: We;ve also been getting lots of hits over the past week from scifi.com's forums.

Post by: Mr_Pleasington on February 01, 2005, 07:05:06 PM: I have a question.

From the above statement, I imagine you all can tell where your hits come from. Is it possible to tell me where most of th e hits for The Nerdery link from? I know a big portion must be from EnWorld, but I'm curious about the rest.

Post by: Fellfrosch on February 01, 2005, 07:30:09 PM: I'll check, but I don't know if it gets that specific.

/edit/
I can't find any way to see where people come from on a certain page, only on the site as a whole. I was able to see that 6% of our readers from the past week came from enworld, and viewed an average of 3.1 pages each while they were here.

Post by: Mr_Pleasington on February 08, 2005, 02:08:12 AM: Forgot about my question...

Thanks for the info, Fell.

Now, a more general question...about how many page views does The Nerdery get in an average week.

My ego is curious. Though my ego would be satisfied if only one person did since I'm not a writer and all. :)

Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on February 08, 2005, 08:57:47 AM: The one on old school only got 159 hits to date.

The two following have almost 500 though. And the one on Indy games has over 650. Not too bad.
