The Thailand expat forum for Travel, Lifestyle and Fun.

I'm helping build up a a Thai regional forum at the moment, now this region is quite small with not that many farangs living or visiting there, I think there are 5 forums already, luckily only one other of them is doing it right in anyway at all so not really any competition.

With all the hits and activity, you should be making a small fortune DD. I guess you're not?

Need to get that advertising revenue going...

All power to you.

Pushing around 260gb bandwidth per month which is a pretty big figure, not something you can do from your home connection probably

These stats are till the 13th November this year, this month 8171 unique visitors perday, ie I log in every day but am only counted in one of those days in that figure.

And of course the only figure that counts is pages served, just over 2 million so far this month, hell, maybe there will be a tourist season this year

I'd be interested to see how many new posts, or new topics, or new replies rather than "hits"

I "hit" a lot of sites, but I close them as fast as I "hit" them as they are complete shite!

It would be interesting to see actual USE of the site.

(not being a TWAT - but in the last few months, the topics and new posts seem to have dropped off a fair bit - it's just opinion, not statistics, I'd love to be proven wrong...it just seems like less people are actually posting anything - apart from the numerous crap posts I make!) Seriously, though, I am quite interested as to how you track this traffic.

I also would like to know how you can predict that next year there will be tourist traffic?

Considering it is down nearly 40% YOY....do you know something I don't? I reckon it is going to get even worse...who the fuck wants to RISK a holiday in this place under the current climate?

dirtydog · 14-11-2009, 07:11 PM

New threads I think about 50 perday, posts 1,000+ perday, shall have a check as I haven't bothered looking for probably a year

I asked a while back but no one got back to me (obviously you lot have too much cash) about how to donate 20 bucks or so to the site "WITHOUT" using that fucking pay pal shit...as is advertised on the donations page...that you don't need a pay pal account!

I like this place and would really hate to see it become like Thai visa, please god no....

There was another interesting site, but it seemed to stagnate..Siamexpats.com, and it started getting a bit heavy with bar freaks and pervs.

It would be good for TD to keep on the same "unbiased" free speech lines it currently follows, so if any of the smart arses at TD can tell me how to drop 20 bucks -(without Pay Pal) no Nigerian e mails please, I will gladly pitch in - it would be a great shame to lose a forum as open and diverse as this!

New threads for November.

New posts.

That's exactly right Miggins, most people with families will look around TD to check out the expat view of things on the ground, once they've read what the deal really is they wont risk Thailand at the moment, its way to volatile and it's gonna get worse I'd say.
Thailand is in for harder times for sure.

Pm sent.

There's a lot of traffic checking out Thailand websites, also I have actually seen quite a few tourists where i live, so I think there will be a tourist season, albeit no where near as good as previous years

dirtydog · 14-11-2009, 11:58 PM

I wonder when tv last updated their stats, they still beat us hands down on unique visitors, but page views.......

Quote:

Currently we have around 4,000,000 page views per month and around 400,000 unique visitors per month.

DrAndy · 15-11-2009, 02:05 AM

anyway, here is another post for you, DD

Sdigit · 15-11-2009, 03:07 AM

Cheers DD, looking

I'm no fan of TV, but even I can see that that's a bit of an OTT statement DD.

the dogcatcher · 15-11-2009, 07:23 AM

DD, leave him son, he ein't worth it.

The sad thing about this is in a court case george would win, no matter how many kiddies his ex admin has fuked, but of course in laying a case george would have to expose himself, it may also hit the national papers about how the tv was run by a convicted child molester and how he was thrown out of chiang mai and sent back to australia, but sadly george would win this case because you aint allowed in Thailand to print the truth.

Anyone is allowed to post the truth but in a defamation case the defendant needs to prove they had a valid reason to print/post their comments and that it doesn't defame the plaintiff.

For example, when the Bangkok Post printed pictures of the cracks in the suvarnbhum airport runway and Thaksin sued the journalist and publisher for 500 million baht each, Thaksin would have won the case if it hadn't been settled out of court because although the paper had a valid reason to print the pictures (news paper) the pictures damaged the image of the country and it's political leader at that time.

have you not though of Adsense DD?

slackula · 15-11-2009, 10:55 AM

Ha ha, I googled "chiang mai child molester" and page 3 of this thread is 4th in the results!

baldrick · 15-11-2009, 12:00 PM

DD gets a bit excited about it

as far as I remember itmanager was around for about 9 months and mainly was hawking satellite internet connections to the clueless in the computer sub forum.

maybe DD could explain why he allowed a welsh dwarf and a simian metrosexual to be mods on his forum ?

How many posts are there a month, compared with say a year ago? I see on another forum posts are down about 50% over last year and hardly anyone is ever logged in (thai360) what are you doing right that others are not doing, or cannot be bothered to do?

Lax moderation is probably the main difference between TD and most other forums.
