Is CBDSA making a difference? Our statistics make me think so.

I really think we are and since I love statistics, here are some website statistics I've collected to show you how we are truly a worldwide organization.

In the period 1 May to 3 July 2008:

Our site has recorded hits from 16 different countries.
The country with the most hits is the USA with 31 States and 77 different cities recording hits.
The country with the second most hits is Canada with 6 provinces and 14 different cities recording hits.

Monday is the day of the week which recorded the most hits during this period..

I also have information on how users come to our site...what search engines and what words or phrases were used to find us. It's interesting to see what words people use to find us. I'd say about 98% of the time their search is very relevant to the content in our site.

This is just normal data collection used by smart businesses to tailor their site to meet their users needs and is only available to me for the previous 90 days. After that, it goes away. By he way, don't worry, I can't "see" who the users are.

If you have any questions or would like specific information on data collection, just let me know.

Gregg,
This is great. What I would really like to see is more interaction between us all and perhaps get more parents involved. I know personally speaking that the members of this group have been a tremendous support system for me and I'm sure for other as well. Even if it's something so small, it is truly grand in my eyes to know how each and every one of our angels is doing. So please everyone out there, please drop and line now and then.

You're so right Adriana, it is a great to have a place to brag to people who understand the importance of it. I wish more would use this forum as well.

I noticed a few days ago that I set up this message board so visitors had to register to join our little group. I took that requirement out a few days ago. I may have done it to keep spammers to a minimum but I really don't remember for sure but if the bad posts start, I'll have to put that requirement back. I keep a close eye on the site and hopefully it won't be a problem.

I'd like for everyone to invite their family and friends to visit our site. Seeing our brags and concerns can put things in perspective for those who don't know a lot about Down syndrome. I'd also like to encourage those visitors to sign the guest book. It can sure lift your spirits on a bad day when you see that someone you know took the time to visit our site.

Keep posting!!!! :)
