Yesterday we ran a quick test to see what impact refreshing Fark's main page every 10 minutes would have on traffic. Here are the results, comparing yesterday to Monday last week.
Pageviews
Jan 7th - 2,249,117
Jan 14th - 3,114,311
Traffic Gain: 38.4%
That's pretty good considering we only put the 10 minute refresh to the main page, nowhere else.
At any rate, the test is over, the code is gone. It won't be back.
Wish I had some other updates to give but that's pretty much it. I've got a soccer game that ends at 9:15pm tonight, if anyone in the Lexington KY vicinity wants to grab a beer someplace around 9:30pm I'll be out. Drop me an email - Drew@ this website url.
