TOP.ORG Blog http://www.top.org/blog News and happenings to do with TOP.ORG Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:10:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 en Uptime Monitor! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TopOrgBlog/~3/461119666/ http://www.top.org/blog/2008/11/21/uptime-monitor/#comments Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:10:53 +0000 Barbarian http://www.top.org/blog/?p=25 We’ve finally launched our uptime monitor. This should provide some excellent feedback for webmasters on TOP.ORG

I should note that in every aspect (speed, reliability), TOP.ORG is way ahead of average!

Our growth is fantastic - in a few months we will be tracking 1,000,000 pageviews a day:

We’ve heard you all, and are now working on a custom-image solution. This will allow you to upload an image (anywhere from 80×15 to 150×150) - once approved it will then become your default image.

I am happy to say that we now track over 100,000 unique visitors a day. There are now over 500 active sites on TOP.ORG - and we have not even contacted any bloggers yet! The best part really is that we have already sent out 70,000 clicks to our member sites - that is a ton of traffic.

Looking forward to obliterating those numbers as we continue to grow

That is now fixed.

Also the registration page was down for 24 hours, but is back up and operational now.

We’ve also shored up our internal tracking methods to notify sites when they may be problems with tracking their traffic.

We now have 363 sites active sites on TOP.ORG. We’ve also started tracking the number of clicks we send every day - that should be an interesting number to keep an eye on. We should start publicly publishing this number in a few days.

A few notables:

CSS Vault - the original CSS gallery, with over 20,000 RSS subscribers

Design Disease - run by the hugely talented Elena, releasers of amazing free WordPress themes such as Illacrimo and Dilectio

CSS Basics - an excellent and simple 18 chapter guide on learning CSS.

In less than one week we are already tracking over 300,000 pageviews a day, with exactly 350 sites active in TOP.ORG. We’ve also already sent out 13,000+ clicks to our member sites - a number we look forward to seeing grow.
