DISCLAIMER
From
Ontario Cottage Clients:
...
I am happy to inform you that I have just received
notice that the offer made on my cottage is complete,
and signed by both parties. I received a full price
offer, and am very content with the whole affair.
... Thank-you so much for your service. I will happily
recommend it to anyone. I have no complaints at all.
It suited my needs and my method of conducting my
affairs. I'm a happy camper!
...
Ontario Cottages filled our property by June 1
... our cottages are listed on multiple services and
over 90% of bookings come from the Ontario Cottages
site.
... I only listed on Ontario Cottages for six weeks
ago and already +50% of my bookings come from here.
Interestingly our most expensive referrer has generated
no leads this year.
... Ontario Cottages filled the cottage in the first
two months.
... I was advertising elsewhere but now Ontario Cottages
is my exclusive media.
... and more!

Cottages Statistics Summary - 1 Week of 2006

experiencing less traffic claiming that it's
indicative of the whole industry.

24%
more distinct hosts visit us per week, 27%
more distinct files are being requested
and 55% more requests are redirected
to our banner users. The
site has been running since 1997 and has consistantly
seen growth and has had a 114 subtle updates.
Our philosphy is simple, fair and consistant! We
will not give advantage to one owner over another
and we will not compormise consistancy; no refunds,
most updates are chargeable & returning listings
require the set-up charge. Check your other listings
to determine how your property is displayed relative
this site. Ask
for their site stats and most will give you hits;
a useless inflated number!
The facts we feel count for us and why:
| 1.
|
Distinct
Hosts - That's our actual visitors per week
but does not include those coming to us from proxy servers. |
| 2.
|
Successful
request for pages. How deep does the visitor
go? For example 3,535 distinct hosts requesting 18,524
pages is equal to the average visitor viewing 5.2 pages.
This tells us the site is being used and visitors are
going all the way through. |
| 3.
|
Distinct
files requested. This tells how many files(pages)
are actually being used. Divide this into the page requests
and you can see that the average page is requested at
least 6.1 times per week. Using deeper statistics we know
that each listings detail page is viewed on average approximately
60 times per week.
This fact is the main reason
our clients are successful! |
| 4.
|
For
those who like high numbers you can see that we receive
approximately 27,411,490 hits
per year (based on this weeks numbers). The actual figure
is higher as we are not yet in our peak.
Regardless to us anyone who sells based on the idea of
hits in an other life sold snake oil remedies. 525,340
hits / 18,524 pages = 28 objects per page!
A meaningless statistic:
more objects on your page = more hits
