A million page views right out the gate is awesome. I know ya'll are old hat at this thing, but seeing as you haven't done much promotion (from what I can tell) that is awesome. Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-25673 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:47:14 +0000 winniebee 25673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! I'm impressed - lots of traffic AND that the blog is doing so well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-25666 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:44:24 +0000 cupcakemama 25666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow, that is really a surprise. I would have said the boards for sure but maybe just because I spend more time on the boards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-25541 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 16:37:59 +0000 MamaMoose 25541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the small community feeling the boards have right now. I feel like I know people's story and they know mine so we are invested in each other. I hope that feeling stays : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-25537 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 16:32:43 +0000 Crisark 25537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That surprises me as well.<br /> This is all really good info though.<br /> I like feeling involved in what's going on "behind" the scenes.<br /> I am really really glad you guys started this site. Once you left WB I was lost :)<br /> I am super excited to start over here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-25531 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 16:26:45 +0000 Rescuemom10 25531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That does surprise me! I would have totally said the boards! Wow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-25285 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:20:42 +0000 mrsjyw 25285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm surprised at this as well! I do like that the "cozy" feeling of HelloBee boards (and even blog comments) hasn't changed since it went public... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-25283 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:20:26 +0000 MegWag 25283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This doesn't really surprise me. I think for a casual reader, the blog is an easy way to get information and read interesting content. The boards can seem more intimidating and like a commitment... It makes sense to me that people who come in later will take longer to get involved on the boards, as opposed to those of us who have been around since the beta days (like they were so long ago!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-25266 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:07:44 +0000 mrbee 25266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ecogirl: Yup, that counts as a pageview. :-)</p> <p>Typically with a site like this, the blog will drive more traffic at first... then over time, the boards will catch fire and drive growth!</p> <p>We're trying something a bit different this time, by investing a lot of time into the boards upfront. :-) Mrs. Bee and I have posted almost 600 threads to the boards... so the boards are a bit further along on the growth curve than usual! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-25236 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:31:59 +0000 Adira 25236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha, I would've thought boards as well, but I'm guessing we get a lot of traffic to the blogs that don't stay and chat on the boards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-25203 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:00:40 +0000 MaisyMay 25203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say the boards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-25194 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 10:54:13 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 25194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it would be the boards, too! Very interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-25190 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 10:50:39 +0000 ecogirl 25190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm embarrassed to say I've never read the blogs. It is the default screen for me so I'm curious as if that counts as a hit? If so it may be that it is being 'hit' by every single member that signs in right? Or do you have a counter that counts when someone actually clicks onto the blog tab? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24969 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:06:07 +0000 mrbee 24969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I wish we had gotten there in a month! It will probably be closer to a few months, when you factor in the closed beta and what not.</p> <p>We're mostly just focused on building a fun and helpful blog and community at this point... if that happens, we're hoping that the traffic will take care of itself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24939 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:44:55 +0000 Mrs. D 24939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I would have guessed the boards as well based on how many comments are made.<br /> Wow, yeah for the blogs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24931 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:34:27 +0000 BSB 24931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Haha. As I was typing 'hits', it sounded old. I did have a quick flashback to the old days and considering how quickly technology evolves I had a feeling hits was the wrong word.</p> <p>Whoah! A million pageviews in one month. I wonder how many pageviews WB gets. I bet WB could do a million in a week or a couple days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24923 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:29:27 +0000 oliviaoblivia 24923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow I thought boards would totally win! I'm glad the blog is getting a lot of traffic. I really like it here! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24921 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:28:26 +0000 tejbee 24921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This surprises me! But I suppose it makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24918 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:27:14 +0000 tequiero21 24918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow, i'm shocked. i thought hands down boards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24908 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:20:23 +0000 Andrea 24908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: No, not complaining! It wouldn't be as meaningful (for certain topics anyway) if you're constantly chatting with different people every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24904 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:18:08 +0000 mrbee 24904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: A smaller more intimate boards is a good thing!</p> <p>In terms of posting, we can have 50-60 boards threads started on a busy day... things are starting to pick up! As long as Charlie doesn't get sick again, we'll probably be at 100-200 threads a day in no time. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24893 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:09:39 +0000 Andrea 24893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I suppose that explains why the board community still seems small? People aren't clicking in? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24892 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:09:15 +0000 Rosie Girl 24892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hhhmmm, I would have said the boards too. But it does make sense I guess. You see the blog first, and if you aren't a member, you are more likely just to read the blog and not the boards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24890 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:08:55 +0000 mrbee 24890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Hehe, hits is old school...</p> <p>If the last two days of traffic held constant for the whole month, we'll probably do a little around a million pageviews in December? These things are hard to predict though, with the holidays and all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24887 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:06:39 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 24887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm. No wonder your surprised. But it makes sense seeing #1 its the first page people see (the blog) and even if comments are not extremely high doesn't mean peope aren't reading. </p> <p>In the end, it's a good sign :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24886 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:04:08 +0000 MsMini 24886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is interesting. I guess there must be some readers of the blog who don't necessarily contribute (or become active in) the boards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24884 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:02:35 +0000 BSB 24884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Interesting. Are you able to tell us, how many 'hits' the blog and boards get? Is 'hits' even the right word? LOL</p> <p>Is it in the thousands? or hundreds? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24881 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:58:57 +0000 mrbee 24881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The blog gets substantially more traffic than the boards!</p> <p>The exception is if there are no blog posts, for example because Charlie is sick or if it's the weekend. Then the boards will sometimes surpass the blog in traffic.</p> <p>But if the blog has a normal level of posting, then the blog can get up to 50% more traffic than the boards! More usually, the blog will get 30-35% more traffic than the boards... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24866 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:42:54 +0000 MamaMoose 24866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say boards. But I think the blog will surpass the boards once their are more bloggers up and running </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-do-you-think-has-more-traffic-the-blog-or-the-boards#post-24865 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:41:50 +0000 Rubies 24865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boards, right? </p>
