Thanks for the suggestion - I took a look and not much traffic from pinterest but a bunch from Facebook.
It may be increasing though.
I personally think it's the spread of smart phones & pads. _________________ How to Post Photos

New record set today! Old record was 1698 on Apr 23, 2012, 7:04 pm. Break out the champagne, Everett.
Most users ever online was 2242 on Today 6:13 pm
What's the reason for a 32% increase, a difference of 544 users? |

It happened 13 minutes after the new pawn stars episode which had a 23 window bus that rick called a samba bus like 5 times in the first 5 minutes of the show. If you type vw samba bus into google thesamba.com is the first 3 links that you get. Id say that's what happened. _________________ 1964 Beetle

This is a very good theory, I approve.
It looks like people just came in through the main Home Page so this makes sense. _________________ How to Post Photos

That record will last longer than the old record from 22 months ago did. That is, unless there is another fluke spike like today's. I rarely see more than 1200 online. |

Everett,
Does your tracker offer any more detail? I'm curious as to on average (I'll stick with gross aggregate figures) a visitor stayed during that time period, number of clicks? I'd be curious (I'll try to see when the next future airring of the episode is) as to future spikes due to future airrings. I'm curious as to drop off and what all. I'm guessing that non-VW peeps heard the term and searched trying to determine what is a "samba" (if it wasn't defined) of something like that - just curious. |

There are no specifics just for that hour but looking at yesterday versus other days this week, there really is no notable increase, just a big spike in visits during that hour.
Time on site/# of pages visited/etc. are all fairly constant from day to day.
It wasn't even the most # of visitors for a Thursday this month.
As a point of reference, Thursday is a slower day than some other days of the week. Sunday/Monday/Tuesday are the busiest days.
The past record, April 23, 2012, was a Monday. _________________ How to Post Photos

Thanks,
I was just kinda curious. I'd be curious if there is a little uptick/blip in new members. Just looking at any residual effects, I have noticed that Friday's (especially post noon) are slow Sunday evening tends to uptick and Mondays tend to be heavy. It seems pretty normal, time of day effects, seasonality, burnout/wearout, all the typical behavioral things usually cited by people that monitor such things. But it is pretty cool (in that geeky sort of way) to see the effect of an episode on the site. |

It's possible there were some new members from the boost.
A count is hard to determine as we get a lot of new members every day.
I took a quick look in the database for this week and there were less new users yesterday than the rest of this week so... it may be a bit random.
You are correct Friday night -> Sunday midday is "slow".
Sunday night is busy.
Monday am slows down a little (people have to do their work for the week? LOL)
Monday afternoon -> Tuesday is busy.
This is on CA time.
If there is some statistic you are interested in I will probably be interested too and will take a look. It might be best to contact me privately as there may be some things I don't want to publicly post. _________________ How to Post Photos
