Don't worry about the spam. We get a few hundred a day, and just
delete them at the server. That said, we don't get very many real
emails, or perhaps we do and accidentally delete them <g>

The most popular site on the Chebucto Community Net is for DOS users
and was designed right from the start to be lynx-friendly:
http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~ak621/DOS/
The most recent visitation statistics as of this writing are:
http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/cgi-bin/urlstats?~ak621/DOS
: Number of visits to main page of /~ak621/DOS/
:
: * Yesterday: 51
: * This month: 578
: * Last month: 623
:
: Number of visits to URLs that match /~ak621/DOS
:
: * Yesterday: 26233
: * This month: 426613
: * Last month: 452291
Add in visits to that user's other pages,
http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~ak621/
and you get:
http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/cgi-bin/urlstats?~ak621
: Number of visits to main page of /~ak621/
:
: * Yesterday: 5
: * This month: 69

:
: Number of visits to URLs that match /~ak621
:
: * Yesterday: 27937
: * This month: 451637

That was almost half a million page hits last month.

Just about all the useful discussion on the actual has come from regulars
in aww. The picking on individuals has only happened because there are a
few Fronr Page evangelisers who insist on posting erroneous or misleading
information, and who are incapable of responding to being corrected
without throwing a tantrum. Sometimes it's quite amusing to goad the more
pompous of these into admitting that they aren't actually the experts they
initially present themselves as.
Of course you in particular, "Windsun", have made no contribution
whatsoever other than to complain. We've got some dumb blowhards on aww,
but at least the group largely works on the basis that one of the
objectives of Usenet is to allow us to learn new things by being shown
better ways to work by people with more or different experience. The
impression you and others have given of microsoft.public.frontpage.client
is that it's full of people who use the newsgroup to boost their ego by
cheerleading each others errors and inaccuracies, or who can't bear not to
have the last word in any argument no matter how clearly wrong they are.
In that sense it's been very useful. It will forever remain on the Google
archive to show those looking for information on how to get the best out
of their software where not to go for advice.

Amusing isn't it. A million uniques a year isn't all that impressive, even
I've worked on sites that have managed that, and I'm by no means in the
big league. Not to demean what it takes to get 10k visitors a week, that's
a reasonable start to build on, but it's hardly statistics that would
tempt most people into a willy waving contest.

My suspicion is that it's the sort of thing that is entirely dependent on
the nature of the business. So anecdotal experimental evidence is probably
ideal. If it's something where potential customers will see it as a
personal interaction then a photograph may well help engender a feeling of
trust and increase sales.
Horses for courses.

that was my assumption as well. I really encourage people to simply call me
on the phone. it's folksy and old-school, but that's kind of the way I am.
I would think that having a photo and folksy type stuff on another type of
site for someone with another working style would be counterproductive to
about the same degree as I've found it beneficial.

If you say so.
I like how the "web snobs" didn't respond to threads/posts shared in
another group but "decided to come here".
Then again it is odd that you and others, trying to use the
cross-posted thoughts as some sort of reason - like the above shared
one you penned , find it difficult to stop cross-posting when
responding to even fellow "group mates" posts.
Kind of weakens of the argument when you are one of the parties to the
cross-posting 'problem', doesn't it?

Wrong guess, but this is a great example of what I'm talking about! It
seems that many in your circles of compadres believe that the total depth of
the pool of wisdom consists of only what they know. In fact, there is much
more to logging activity on your Web site than just IP addresses.
Maybe you need to be a programmer to really understand how to look beyond
the basics.

Without going into detail as I'm very busy, I was simply passing along info
so he/they/whoever could see what the basic problem there was and fix if
desired.
There's a bunch of errors at the site, yet the main one is there isn't even
an opening <html> tag. Unreal.
I'm a believer in that if you propose to be an educator, or a supplier to
those who need assistance/guidance, that you should at least have your basic
crap together, that you should have, at least, you're own crap together.

I resell them. I get 20% of that which means $6.00 if someone buys a $30.
Most templates are $15 at most, and 99% of people don't come to my site for
templates. You seem to be stuck on that page yourself, but it's a very
small part of my site.
Well, at the sake of making you look like an ignorant ass, in order to
download a product from me, you have to enter your name and e-mail address.
At that point, a cookie is sent in the response so that you don't have to
enter the information twice. I am counting a unique downloader as one
person downloading one or more add-ins once. I don't count anyone twice.
I keep intricate records on these e-mails when new product announcements go
out and I know exactly what percentage of them don't go to real individuals.
In other words, please refer to my earlier quote about keeping one's mouth
shut.
Once again, my template page is brand new and gets very few hits. That is
not what draws people to my site. Most come for tutorials, reviews, and
add-ins. Just this week, the templates page has been slammed, but that's
likely by you and others around these parts who are getting their jollies
hacking on the site. To each his own.
Considering the fact that you've proven yourself to be pretty ignorant in
such areas, no.

I use this one, which semi-encrypts it. Have not seen an email bot yet that
can figure it out, but it does stop anyone with Javas turned off from seeing
it. http://automaticlabs.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi

FYI, I think you'll find that almost no one cares about this kind of thing

I wonder how many other people never manage to make it to the rest of your
site because a) they aren't using IE, or b) they have disabled Javascript.
Allow me to correct your faulty line of implied reasoning. Above, you say
that you can tell each unique person who downloads from you; which you
follow up by explaining you obtain a name and email address from each
downloader. In the sections of OP you conveniently snip from your reply,
you go on to mention you get 10,000 unique visitors a week.
You're not seriously telling me you get 10,000 names and emails in your
inbox every week, are you? If you did, I'd say your were full of shite.
No, of course. I must've understood you wrong. So tell me, of those
10,000 unique visitors you get each week, what's your rate of turnover?
eg. how many unique downloaders do you get. You *said* you counted them.
I'm only a messenger. You called me a liar; I then proved that this
accusation was false; to which you replied that you didn't care one way or
the other to begin with.
You see, that's the fundamental difference between you and me. I *know*
I'm ignorant. I know a few things for certain, but I know there is far
more that I *don't* know than that I do. It is painfully obvious to me
that the collective knowledge of the human race dwarfs any level of
learning I can hope to attain.
You, on the other hand, are quite content to wallow in your ignorance,
certain you know everything you need to know, and suddenly I'm of a mind
to just let you continue.
Goodbye, Jim, and good luck with your site.
Grey
