Friday Stats: February 2010
Pubs Galore had 122,000 visits in February 2010, this was up from 115,000 in February 2009 and up on the 117,000 in January 2010.
There were no particularly exciting trends, although I notice the weekend of Valentines day was slightly lower than normal, so I guess most people don't tend to take their loved ones to the pub for a romantic dinner.
As far as site activity is concerned there was a considerable spike in reviews as Conrad had already suggested, that should settle back down a bit in next months update.
On the site in February 2010 there were:-
4,263 photos of 1,204 pubs
3,522 comments added
487 new pubs suggested
709 map points corrected
596 web links suggested
159 new members joined
For comparison in February 2009 there were:-
2,198 photos of 1,061 pubs
451 comments added
567 new pubs suggested
396 map points corrected
819 web links suggested
142 new members joined
The check against how things went in the previous month look at my January 2010 post. As far as month on month changes are concerned the pattern we usually see is that traffic and activity broadly increase all the way through to August and then start tailing off to a low in December.
Forum posts came in at 2,579 for the month, compared to, er, none in the same month last year!
A new one that it seems appropriate to include is that 2,847 more people started using the PuG Layer on their iPhone/Android phone.
