Administrators Horton Posted July 2, 2008 Administrators Share Posted July 2, 2008 I am very happy to tell you guys that BallOfSpray is continuing to grow every month. Last January about 300 skiers visited BOS for a total of 1300 times. In June, 800 skiers visited a total of 3700 times. (These visit #s do not include my constant & watchful eye)  This year so far: 13000 total visits from 2500 total unique visitors for 17000 page views. I know at least one other site claims 10+ times the readership. . . . really? Be serious. The goal has always been to become the most informative and friendly forum out there. If want to donate money Ill take it but maybe you should just get your skis and gear from H20z and your portable course from Ez-Ed. Be sure to watch the MasterCraft Pro Tour!

Administrators Horton Posted July 16, 2008 Author Administrators Share Posted July 16, 2008 I have a hard time believing this is true and am not really sure I trust the statics but according to Alexa.com: BallOfSpray.com ranks ahead of SkiFly, Nichols, Schnitz and USA WaterSki.

Director Darwin Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I believe the SkiFly and Schnitz - who cares about either. I would question the Nichols (now waterskiforum info.  Now, USAWS is getting lots of hits regarding rankings this time of year w/ the COD for Regionals and Nationals upcoming. That info is suspect to me.

Administrators Horton Posted July 16, 2008 Author Administrators Share Posted July 16, 2008 I am not saying I am sure it is true.... They also report that all my users are in Australia.

Administrators Horton Posted July 19, 2008 Author Administrators Share Posted July 19, 2008 I find that hard to believe. 4700 hits maybe. Hits and views are not the same thing. See http://www.cancerlynx.com/hits.html.  Whatever the traffic is, Kent does a good job over there.

Administrators Horton Posted October 1, 2008 Author Administrators Share Posted October 1, 2008 Thanks SM,I just read the thread on another site where two guys are going back and forth telling each other to shove skis up thier @$$s. Stuff like that just reminds me that we are on the right track over here.

Baller DW Posted October 1, 2008 Baller Share Posted October 1, 2008 John,No question, the best ski site. I surf for technical information, ways to improve my ability, find great products, comment on ways to help other people progress and learn, or other hopefully mind expanding reasons and of course shop for that 95% off smoking deal on the product of choice or even to provide some humor! I have no interest or time to waste on comments that do not improve the sport, improve my knowledge or provide value. I actually find it embarassing to think that newcomers would review something of that nature and come away with a less than positive mindset on the sport. Keep up the great work and also to all the interesting posters here keep up the exchanges, it is much appreciated.

Ed_Obermeier Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Full agreement here with DW, no BS just great info and a bit of humor to boot, definitely the best waterski site on the Net. I'm unfortunately the only person in Kansas who knows this site exists though, apparent by the state's next-to-last place ranking. Used to be two of us until Brad Beach moved to Missouri... Guess there are no skiers in Nebraska at all, eh? /vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif There really actually are a lot of serious slalom skiers in Kansas, honest. I know all three of them...Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
