It's called Reader Traffic and I love it. I've always wanted to have an exact count of my readers, and I think it's a great addition. Some of my friends don't like it, because they say it makes them feel less flattered. Personally, I like knowing how many readers I get (and even where they come from!) so i'm estatic about the addition.

Any thoughts?

It beats the pants off the hit counter, that's for sure.

[Destiny]

Not too sure how I feel. It's interesting... +pokes with foot+

[Gena kumo]

Well all I can say is...

This week...I got two hits from BULGARIA! (Kudos to all of the Bulgarians out there. )

If that's not awesome...then I don't know what is...

The only thing that might get annoying is knowing how popular...or NOT popular my stories end out to be over the months...

But I can't blame that on the new "reader traffic counter", can I?

[desaix]

It's certainly interesting. According to it (not breaking down by particular fanfic, but rather by them all), in the month of July I had:
74 US readers, 3 UK readers, 4 Australian readers, 1 Norweigen, 5 French, 8 Canadian, 1 Trinidad and Tabogan, 3 German, 2 Portuguese, 1 Finnish, 2 Philippine, 1 Singaporan, 1 Croatian, 1 Brazilian, 1 Kuwaiti, and 1 Dutch.

This is without having posted anything there in a little less than a year. Damn, I wish I could post a new chapter and see exactly how many countries I'm being read in!

*nod* Agreed.

Lol, it's still really odd for me to know where the readers are from. it's like....SWEDEN?!

Haha, sadly...no.... If we suck, we suck.

Haha, please do.
If you're getting that kind of a response now...dayum.
Also...I believe it only counts the 29th of July as 'the month of July'...but I'm not sure.

This new feature certainly makes you want to come out with new chapters and new stories, just so you can see how many readers you have, and where they're all from XD

Haha, sadly...no.... If we suck, we suck.

Just because your story hits may be a bit low, for a certain month over another, certainly doesn't mean that we suck :rolleyes:

Yup, and just like mentioned above, it starts counting from July 29th so O___O desaix... 74 US readers, etc etc in ONE DAY? *faints* I wonder how many readers you have for a whole month and a new chapter!

Btw, I feel like a stalker... seeing where all my readers are from XD

[Illjwamh]

Today I had (overall) 24 from the states, 2 from the UK, 2 from Norway, 1 from Sweden, the Phillippines, Poland and Saudi Arabia.

Cool.

Yeap. So far I've gotten 46 visitors with all the countries combined.
I'm satisfied.

[Wilson]

Oh! I like that feature! So interesting to know where the heck your readers are from.

Let's see, so far it's only recorded 3 days of the month, i.e 29th, 30th and 31st,

2.23k visitors from US (Lol, expected that), 275 from canada (oh?), 140 from UK (Eh?), 144 from Australia (Lol, them aussies), 87 from germany (lol!), 62 from philipines (Din noe they actually have anime there...), 58 from France, 64 from Singapore, and so on from Mexico, Netherlands, India, Sweden Malaysia, Norway, freaking fifty countries. O.O

Venezuela...where's that?
or Honduras... =.=

Scary that. lol.

:what:

Are you sure you're looking at visitors, and not hits? That seems off the scale for visitors, and about on it for hits.

Venezuela's in South America. Honduras in Central America. What I want to know is, what country is "Dominican Revar (which I got a visitor from today)?" Is that Dominican Republic, or somewhere else?

[Illjwamh]

It's just the Dominican Republic. I've never heard it before, but I found a person's profile who was from there and they were talking about being from the D.R., so I guess that means they're one and the same.

Wilson, if those really were your visitor numbers, then you easily have the biggest e-*censored?* around.

[Nate River]

Seems like a good idea to me, since hits data is too vague to be really informative. I'd prefer the increased specificity.....when I finally finish chapter 1 (which I am working again on Wilson).

[ebonydreads]

I quite like the new feature. I'm certainly not estatic about it, but it's interesting to see where your readers come from. I think that I've had a reader from Malta, if I remember correctly and I'm not sure where that is!

[Illjwamh]

I like the new add-on for it that breaks down where all your hits and visitors are coming from. You can see right on the front page which of your stories are getting the most attention.



Speaking of which, I posted a 4,006-word Harry Potter one-shot that I wrote over a year ago on Sunday night, and I got more hits/visitors for it in 24 hours than I did for the entire month of August for all my other stories combined. @_@
