Lessons Learned
I was recently accepted into a few CSS Galleries, which is really awesome and insightful! Checking over the stats I’ve gained some new insights into how people are visiting the site. I suppose it would be wrong to take the following information and apply it to your site, but regardless, I’ve noticed a few things:
- Glorious Hits! The incoming hits are awesome! It gives one a tremendous sense of accomplishment to know that people are actually visiting your site. However, first impressions are everything, and it seems most people get to the homepage and flee the site. That’s not to say that’s the case for everyone, but by the looks of it — that’s the behaviour of the majority.
- Ripped, already? Seriously the site has been up for about 9 days now — in galleries for about 1 day — and it has been ripped. Le sigh. On one hand I’m sort of flattered; of all the sites on the Internet, mine was chosen to be copied? On the other hand – hey — I put the time and effort into this site — so duplicating it elsewhere is kind of cheap and not too creative, eh? I don’t mind you learning from my site, but you have to think: if you’re uploading it somewhere — with most of the site still linking back to mine (and the copyright notice still in tact) you’ve got to wonder …
I’ve attempted to contact the site owner, so I’ll wait for his side of the story before jumping to conclusions. Still … not cool dude, not cool.
You can find the site at: prowebart.net, csstux.com, lightondark.com, screenaliciou.us, mostinspired, dailyslurp, csscontainer. Thanks for the hits :D
