Year-end website stats

[Ian Wong]

Hello all,

Hope your New Years all went well. This has been a fairly big last year for the Premed101 discussion forum, which opened up to the internet at the beginning of March 2001. From then until now, we've had 187,159 visits and 5264 messages posted. I'd like to thank each of the posters and especially the moderators for their hard work in the phenomenal growth of this bulletin board, and the wealth of information that we've generated.

In 2001, I also switched my Canadian Premed website from its old home at: www.geocities.com/mdpremie (http://www.geocities.com/mdpremie) to its new location at www.premed101.com (http://www.premed101.com). The Geocities website has managed to generate 39,607 visits since its opening in June 1999.

To start off this year, I wish everyone here on this board success and further progress on our common goals of studying and practising medicine. :)

The last month has been an extremely busy one for the forum, and this is reflected in the fact that we've now broken 300,000 views, and have over 7600 messages now posted.

Half a million views!!!! Man, if Ian had a dollar for every view...!!! He'd be making what he WILL be making 10 years from now ... JUST KIDDING! (he should be making triple that! ;)

[Ian Wong]

We just keep getting bigger and bigger! Six hundred thousand views later... :)

If Ian had $0.25 for every view. . . he'd be able to pay off my projected debt after 4 years of medical training! (Approx $125,000, I figure!)

Doh! :)

Ian,

Why don't you find a sponsor!? Some corporations would pay big bucks to get their logo pasted up in front of 1million people a year? And, It shouldn't cost your readership a dime. (A little capitalism at work?)

Food for thought? You must have considered this already though? If so, why not?

I just want to commend you on developing and supporting such a fantastic site Ian!! I hope you realize that the tremendous committment you make to this site has a really positive impact on the lives of so many other people. GREAT JOB!!! and THANKS! :rollin

[Ian Wong]

1.9 million visits! Thank you all for your support. Advertising for this website is something I'm definitely considering, but haven't started to pursue.

let's put another spin on this... with 1000 members there's roughly 10 visits a day per member. Now I have a hunch that access is spread unevenly, so crazy addicts are probably coming here 50-100 times daily. 8o

additionally, there are approximately 6 new members per day. Well, with this kind of growth, I'm pleased and amazed that the board has been kept so civil and tidy... Ian and other surveillance crew, you rock! :hat

[Ian Wong]

Two million visits! So far today, we've had 19049 visits, and at one point today, had 58 simultaneous users. :)

We just recently hit 2.9 million visits! On Friday, May 30 when Ontario letters were mailed out, we hit 21,700 visits and 77 simultaneous visitors, and on Monday, June 2, surpassed that with a new record of 25,917 visits, or more than 1000 per hour!

Congratulations to all the folks who recently got acceptances to Ontario schools, and best of luck to all those who are on wait-lists. It's an agonizing time, but hopefully the good news is just going to come a little later than expected.

Three million visits! :D We also just recently cracked 40,000 messages posted. Thank you to all the moderators for all their hard work; you guys don't get anywhere near the credit you deserve. Without you, this site couldn't function. I thank you, and I'm sure all of the readership out there does as well.

Hi, I just got in Med. School and would like to extend my deepest THANKS to everyone on this board. It helped me a lot in the interview preparation process.

Best of luck to all applicants.
And if I can allow myself a little piece of advise: be honest. :D
