Hi Everybody

I just launched this new free site where everyone can enter an URL and the site will estimate the number of visitors that the site has, based on different online sources.

The site is called Statbrain.com and I would really like some feedback.

Try entering your own site and see how good Statbrain.com is at guessing the number of visitors that you have.

I've has some problems with Internal Server Errors so tell me if you get one.

Any sort of feedback is very welcome either here or use the forms on the website for any other confidential feedback.

Useful site - except I think the statistics are a little incorrect. I did a
search for my sites, and numbers were larger than the actual visitor
website visit is.

Hi Dogdropins

I'm not sure I understand your post. Statbrain.com says you 487, is that the correct number? Or is it very close?

Thanks,

It's a cute little site and I like the idea but I think it was kind of off on my web site. I guess I don't know how accurate the stats my server provides are but according to them I've been getting about 1200 visitors a day for the last 3 months and you had me at 573 .

I like it if its accurate , i looked up the stats for your site. They look pretty good esprecially when you compare them to mine. How long has taken for you to get that alexa rating and the links

A great and simple method to check stats. It would be good to see results from other seach engines though. The results were about right for my fledgling site!

It's quite a way out... we get in excess of 1200 visitors most days... statbrain said 892

Hi Gdubs

I launched the site on the 6th of March so it has taken me roughly 2 weeks to get the links and Alexa ranking.

Yes Yes Yes!!

Finally it happened; I solved the “Internal Server Error” problem.

So what was the solution? Well it is all very simple. The Internal Server Errors was something that I hadn’t experienced locally so I figured out I should try a new hosting company. That I did and the problem was solved.

I guess the message is: choose the right hosting company!

P.S. The domain has been transferred 24 hours ago, but some might still see the old hosting company for a few more hours...

Hi there,

What a very nice service you are offering to the public for free! I like it so much that I actually clicked on some of your Google ads (shhh). Smiling In my opinion, your site and service is a brilliant idea, and I think it'll face great success in the near future. Smiling

However, results seem to be entirely inaccurate from what I have experienced. But to me, as a webmaster, it tells me what I need to improve. The websites I searched on your site's stats for were my own, and I found the information provided for my websites very interesting. The number of links in each forum, and the Alexa rank, are all extremely helpful if you're a webmaster.

Although the number was a couple hundred off (it said I recieve more visitors than I do), it does help me realize that I need to improve if that's what the expected quota is, and that I am receiving less than that. Smiling I found that one site of mine has over 2000 pages/links indexed in all the top search engines, but Google! I found great disatisifaction in finding this out, however, your site DOES help. I just have to let you know. Smiling

Anyway, the best of luck with your site and service! I think you are brilliant to create such a service. It's revolutionary to webmaster tools. Keep improving it, and but of course keep of the good work!

Regards,

I really like the site. I can't really add much to what others have said, other than use a rollover color (maybe that read) instead of a background for the links. I think it would look better, and seem less "harsh"

Its a nice site, but you can make it much better, give it some life with graphics, then kill the google ads.

I will try and add some colors to the site. Thanks for the advice.

Nice site. It properly gave my links, but also gave me the message "unknown url".

It doesn't work for me, but I think that's because it is giving me the number that my host gets each day. I've got a "fake" subdirectory. assassin.cjb.cc instead of assassin.cjb.cc Anyway, there is no way that I get the over 5000 hits per day that statbrain was reporting. I'm assuming that you work off of the alexa rating or similar?

Just a small update from Statbrain. I didn’t want to start a new thread, but I have to tell you about the improvements on Statbrain.

I record all visitor feedback so that I can keep track of the improvement of Statbrain. When Statbrain was launched less then 15% of the visitor estimates were close to the real visitor number. This number has increased to 25%. I know there is a long way to go, but Statbrain is being improved month by month.

With a little help from the visitors 60% of the estimates on Statbrain will be pretty close to the right visitor number.

See the full stats here:
