According to Alexa (I'm not sure how accurate this is), forums.digitalpoint.com has 92% of the traffic while the remaining 8% visits use digitalpoint.com. Judging by the popularity of dp, the remaining 8% is probably well over thousands . I'm trying to track down what the 8% does on digitalpoint.com? Perhaps use the tools? or .. ~ DiscJockey
They probably read the digitalpoint.com homepage and think "oh dear, I wanted to go to the forums instead."
well as its the homepage of dp u can expect 8% newbie/researcher traffic there too.. rest webmasters directly jump into the forums
Funny, I just came across this tool. I don't think its accurate but another tool to play around with.... http://www.trafficestimate.com/
Many people use http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ Also, whoever arrives at http://forums.digitalpoint.com for the first time, may be curious about the actual site. New users may go to digitalpoint.com to check what the main domain is.
Firstly, DP is on the subdomain, meaning its likely to be owned by the same person (unless the main site hosts other sites on subdomains). Secondly, Shawn owns DP (forum), Shawn also owns Digital Point Solutions Thirdly, there is a link to the forum: "Thursday, March 4: A new search engine forum is now available online" Is that enough?
Not sure about UV, but according to this DP got about 7,000 new users in july. Also, at this moment, there's about 3:1 guests to members on the site. And going back to that graph which shows up to 170k active members per month, then using the 3:1 ratio, i think that makes 680k visits a month (not sure about UV though). Though that says 22k a day... which couldn't be right That's using my poor knowledge of maths so please correct if i've gone wrong
1st time i used dp , i had tried few adsense tools, at that time was not aware about forums, may be shawn should have a big banner up in index page for forums.
