hey jazman,
yes i think january has been a good month. those stats were taken on 26 January so i reckon by the end of the month it might have the largest number of visitors ever. i think we might go over 20,000 visitors for the first time.
i mostly focus on "visitors" rather than "hits" because hits can be quite misleading. of the 373,652 hits that we received in the month up to 26 January, a lot of them will be from search engines like google and MSN. so that is why i only really pay attention to "visitors". Of course a few of the visitors will also be search engines but its a fairly small number.
i said last year we were hoping to get to 30,000 vistors per month by the end of the year and we didn't quite reach that target. though i think 2005 could be the year! I have a few plans for the site to increase the amount and quality of information. And to make the information more easy to find. You may have noticed that we are increasingly getting questions on the fourms that have been asked many times before. The problem of course is that the answers to the questions is often not that easy to find unless one is very good at using the search facilities on the forums and on the squidfish homepage (i.e. a google powered search that is supposed to search the entire site).
Stay tuned, I believe 2005 will be a very good year for squidfish.net. It will also be the squidfish forum's 5 year anniversary (which began in Oct 2000).
