Stats from January 1st 2011 to March 15 2011

- New user registrations took another nosedive over the past 30 days. Hotmail, GMail and Yahoo accounts are no longer accepted. I realize a good percentage of these accounts belong to real people, but another good percentage belong to bots. So far only one person has contacted me for manual registration. The only reason to register is to post in forums or view Combat Camera now. Everything else is available for anonymous users.

- Bandwidth per month is still over 2000Gb

- Total page views of the entire site will crush the the total page views of 2010, if the trend keeps up

- FTP site getting daily activity, but not much

- Site speed increased

- All in all, no change from last year. Activity has been on an even keel for the past few years

Feel free to look at the attached PDF file from Google Analytics.

Visits to CCS have been down the last half of March. After a modification to the site, Google Bots have been bouncing off the site, thus removing the site from the top 3 of a search for "close combat". Hopefully be back soon, has happened many times before.

Back on Google. While the site was off Google's radar, there was a steady 5-600 visits today with about 350-450 unique users. That looks about right with some other stats I ran the past few months. There is about 350-450 regular site users. This is about a 60% drop in regular users from 2008-2009, but visits are still the same as they were. Less regulars and more drivebys in other words.

Does thattranslate as


less people interested in Close Combat visiting?

[mooxe]

In 2009 I turned off the rule that made people register for downloads. Registrations dropped immensly, that accounts for that huge dive. You only need to register to post in forums now. That could explain why there is so much less registered users active on the site but still the same amount of traffic hitting the site daily.

After two months of struggling with Google search results on "Close Combat", CCS is finally back in the top 3 results..... frustration ended!

[Blackstump]

Ah Mooxe your an unsung hero... or is that an unhung sero... i forget which... well done as allways...

[mooxe]

Been very busy this year everyone. Site has not seen many updates. For the past six weeks I have been on exercize with the artillery and I am posted to a new base as well in July. Everything should be back to normal after the summer.

[mooxe]

Movers are here. I am keeping track as best I can with all the new mods and submod news, as well patches. All the new Matrix patches are available via FTP now. CC Players News will be out before end of July with a roundup of everything thats happened since last edition.

Thank you for the donations Rasputen and combot. Server bill is due in August. I believe we are only 100$ or so away from another year of CCS paid fully by ads and donations. Thank you everyone! I'll get an accurate number when I am moved in to my new house.

[mooxe]

Just want to let everyone know CCS was payed for entirely by the donations and Ads this year. Donations were down, but ad revenue was up. Thanks everyone. Trying to get time to update the site, very busy with new house and job.

Thanks for the update Mooxe on the site and another successful year for it!!!

Also good luck with the move to the new house and job!!!

[mooxe]

I am going to reverse the Hotmail/Yahoo/GMail ban soon. For those that have emailed or wish to join but cannot try again soon.

[mooxe]

CSO seems gone now for good. I can host it here if the powers that be would allow me. Assuming there is a backup available.

[mooxe]

Downloads have been disabled. There is a problem with the server. I am shutting systems down one by one to isolate it.

This is what happened. Still not sure what it was, but it has stopped for now. The incoming bandwidth skyrocketed using almost 5000Gb in bandwidth until it stopped. It was lagging other services on the site.
