Just to add on to this thread, I came up with (3) categories or "awards" that will be won in this contest, suggested award names are as follows:

CWM Unique Visitor KING/QUEEN:
- Most Unique Monthly Visitors in Jan 2005.

CWM "Shooting Star" Site:
- Website with greatest INCREASE in Unique Monthly Visitors (single month to an adjacent month) in 2004-2005.

CWM "Falling Star" Site: (BTW, this is NOT an award you probably are looking to win)
- Website with greatest DECREASE in Unique Monthly Visitors (single month to an adjacent month) in 2004-2005.

Woohooo, Tubby's contests are Gender Neutral!! /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Argghhhh...I just swapped hosts and lost all of my Jan stats. I didn't think I'd need them so I didn't bother saving them. Who knew I'd be giving up a prestigious award! /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

You are still eligible for the 2nd and 3rd awards! /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Sorry to hear that, one of my sites is certainly out of the running due to moving servers as well... /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

What makes me think that CWM might win the first one. With all of us webaddicts coming here all the time. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

(UNIQUE VISITORS?) I know that there are a good number of us on here, but how many uniques are we talking about? (That's specifically why I didn't want to use "hits", or "page views" as the measurement, those things can get out of hand quite easily)

but with multiple visits and many visitors having dynamic IPs, the server would probably see a lot of uniques

January 1, 2005 -> January 25

Polvero.com Unique visits: 7889
My guess is that I'll have around 8,000 by the end of the month.

Dustindiaz.com Unique visits: 4005
Take into consideration this was my first month of having it up. I also only received about 100 U.V's the first 10 days. I had to play catch up.

Contest kicks off tomorrow, everyone should post their results for consideration in here beginning 12:00 AM Feb 1st 2005 for the Jan 2005 month.

Should be fun! /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

i'm ashamed to post mine after I saw polvero's. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Okie Dokie, my stats are officially in:
8557 Unique Visitors for January 2005. -> Polvero.com

How do you count AOL customers, given that

- The IP address changes for each page requested.
- Some do not accept cookies.
???

Are you excluding bots?

My stats are in!

--> SimpleLetter.com

--> 114Design.com

--> JustinTubbs.com

Where are all the other submissions? I know people out there have websites that will smoke mine. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

ok fine, I'll post mine....

uppervent.com:
Unique visitors 706
Number of visits 1084 (1.53 visits/visitor)
Pages Hits 13631 (12.57 pages/visit)

I'm fairly satisfied though, consitering it's a pretty small community i got going.

MrHerald needs to chime in here... Come on all you CWM folks! Post up your numbers!! This is all for fun, so nobody should be ashamed to post results, or discouraged by others' numbers.

Friendly competition never hurt anyone. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

We have been discussing the OSMinistry.com stats in the OSM forum.

http://osministry.com
January had 902 Unique visitors
about 836 MB of transfer

I offloaded some of my stuff to other domains for statistics purposes.
My RSS feed has its own subdomain and had 327 unique visitors on its own.

Okay, OKAY! here they are:

towerwebdesign dot com

parkchurchbeaver dot org

southcountysmog dot com

Who else has site stats from Jan 2005? I only see like 5 entries here... /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

For our small little Christian School - tcsnd dot org/tcs1

Page Loads = 1818
Unique Visitors = 370

I don't have the exact statistics, but I had roughly 80,000 unique visitors last month to Codewalkers.com /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />.

Matt Wade,

Sweet stuff! What about your other sites? I'd like to somehow form "categories" for next month's contest, maybe separating out ministry sites from business sites or something like that...

Any other webmasters have their Jan 2005 web statistics in yet?

Here's some from my other sites:

http://www.eChristianWebHosting.com
1200 Uniques

http://www.AquaticPhotos.com
800 Uniques

http://PHPHosts.Codewalkers.com
500 Uniques

My largest site www.agjobs.org served up 25,336 hits and 110,187 total page views for Jan. 05. All of 2004 was ruffly 1.6 mil.

2678 visists in January. It sounds sad, but I guess since the main page is barely more than a "Coming Soon" notice it isn't bad. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

:thinks out loud: man I need to work on my main page. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Unique Visits for January 2005

bigbonebaptistchurch.com - 333

boonecountyky.org - 7797

I don't have the exact statistics, but I had roughly 80,000 unique visitors last month to Codewalkers.com /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />.

sheesh, I wonder why /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

^ ^ LOL /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

sorry for the late entry

www.thechristiandefense.com

61,270 Unique Visits

Deadline for entries/submissions is midnight on Feb 10th, 2005. We'll award this month's "unique visitor" winner, and next month we'll begin the other (2) awards as mentioned in the original post.

I just wanted to say that I don't want Codewalkers.com to be in the running for the award. Though I run the site based on Christian values, I would rather a site that is geared towards Christian content win the award /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />.

/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> Ooops. I just discovered that our stats program did not process several logs in January on boonecountyky.org.

The correct count for unique visitors for January is 14741.

Where are all the other submissions? I know people out there have websites that will smoke mine. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I would like to submit may stats but excuse my ignorance how do I get my stats or unique visitors from my Yahoo store. What yahoo store reports are the below figures on a Daily, Weekly and Monthly basis.
Page Views
Customers
Page Views/Customers
Are the stats and unique visitors anything to do with banner ads that you place on other sites?

Caro, I'm sorry I don't know much about Yahoo Stores. Anybody, Anybody?
