Rugby-Talk had excellent stats for January 2014, 2nd best month ever on the site, only 1 month (September 2013) was better, by just under 11 000 page impressions for the entire month.
We achieved 318 438 Page Impressions for the month at an average of 10 272 Page Impressions per day (Sundays and midweek – quieter times – included). The “hits” (which is a very false measure) counted at an unbelievable 1 540 872 hits, and the Bandwidth consumed was 28.54 Gb worth of Data travel. We had 41 724 visitors.
We published 265 Articles in January alone!
Now don’t say I do not indicate the facts to show how big Rugby-Talk is becoming!
Match build-up has started on SuperSport 1 & SHD
2 @ grootblousmile:
Very impressive stuff GBS, growth is a big measure of success in business so would be interested to see what the year on year growth has been, or for a more direct comparison what were all those numbers you mentioned like for January 2013. I guess some years we have Lions tours and others World Cups so these would possibly skew figure if you were trying to compare whole years with each other.
GO SCOTLAND!!! Not able to watch so will need you to support Scotland for me GBS and whoever else joins in today
cheers vir eers
Anthems!
Ciao a tutti!
4 @ Bullscot:
Might do some comparisons later, but believe me, I think we’ve doubled on January 2013’s figures!
First the rugby though….
7 @ The_Young_Turk:
And a Tutti Fruitty to you too, Gobbles!
@ grootblousmile:
Nice to see rugby-talk kicking ass big time!
Game ON!
Kick-off by Scotland!
10 @ The_Young_Turk:
It’s actually incredible.. sky is the limit now!
Scotland with all the early ball, not making huge ground
Penalty to Scotland, 10m line, kick at posts… Laidlaw taking the kicks
Hits the left upright, missed
Afternoon all. Looks like a nice day in Dublin. Go Scotland, but I fear it could go Ireland’s way
OK, the 1st 2 Live Game Articles for tomorrow’s start of the Varsity Cup, have also been scheduled.
Very well kept up by the Irish
Ireland very close…. on the line
Scotland get the turnover scrum, 5m from their own line
18 @ Just For Kicks:
Hello Kickers.
I think I’ve picked Ireland by 8 on SuperBru
Big Ireland scrum, and somehow Scotland get their ball
Don’t think this game will come close to last nights, wow, it was a good game, I really enjoyed it
Scotland steals Ireland’s lineout… overthrow
Ireland penalty against Kelly Brown.. shot at goal
Better than Laidlaws attempt
Sexton for goal and it’s…. over
Ireland 3 / 0 Scotland
Ireland running it from deep in their own half, they get to halfway… knock
Good afternoon
My TV was struck by lightning, so now my PC and Tv are like old Pumas, each in his own room. Will try and chat a bit.
Good draw and pass game by both backlines, so far
