Hey gang..... Thought I'd toss out some random site statistics recently....
The site is currently getting re-indexed by Google through the Google Search Console. I have to admit, they take a lot longer to index than I remember. They are currently about 10% done, give or take, from a little over a month ago, but it does seem to already be making a little difference. I have also looked into Bing though they seem to be having some issues with the site for some reason, but hopefully we'll get it re-indexed there as well eventually.
This shows what is indexed vs. what's been crawled yet not yet indexed, but it is growing slowly.
This shows the increase in google search clicks increasing since the re-index started. It's hard to say if it's specifically from the re-indexing or specifically a result of general summer increase, or a mix of both, but it's cool none the less.
This shows the gradual increase in user traffic over the last month. Nothing earth shattering, but it is increasing, so that's cool.
This is less functional, but I thought it was kinda fascinating as to where people are coming from.
On a different note, I believe there is a way to send out a mass email to members. It's not something I plan to do very often, though I'll likely send out a quick note in the coming weeks to the user base as some sort of update on things in an effort to let people know it's a good time to return. Particularly those that have been away a long time or have had trouble registering over the last couple years.
If you know anyone that has had trouble registering or logging in over the last year or two, please have them try again, or let me know. I know we'd love to have them all come back for sure. If there's anything that can be done on this end, please let me know.
Thanks gang!
Cheers!
Kyle...
