HyperScale
January 2002 Statistics

by Brett Green

HyperScale is proudly supported by Squadron.com

The following statistics represent usage of HyperScale for the calendar month of January, 2002.

The statistics have been compiled for HyperScale's six main sites. These are all linked to the main HyperScale domain, and can be categorised as follows:

• www.hyperscale.com - Main Page and What's New (plus links and editorial content)

• www.kitreview.com - Reviews

• www.clubhyper.com - Discussion Groups and Reference Articles

• www.scalevision.com - Multimedia Content and (temporarily) New Feature Articles

• www.kitparade.com - Feature Articles and Galleries prior to January, 2002; plus full Indexes of Feature Articles and Galleries.

• www.gallery02.kitparade.com - Gallery Entries for the year 2002.

In addition to these domains, HyperScale also operates www.hobbyvista.com and www.anzacsteel.com . These figures have not been counted, as the content is not core HyperScale content.

Understated Statistics

The figures below do not take into account the significant caching of commonly requested pages that is typically undertaken by ISPs. The figures are likely to be understated owing to this practice.

Furthermore, the figures do not take into account the number of page views within the Discussion Groups. Last year's excursion to Network 54 suggested that an additional 1,000,000 page views per month is typical across the Discussion Groups, with the vast majority of traffic occurring on "Plane Talking".

Overstated Statistics

Due to the diversity of domain names, the "Visits" column below will be overstated. This is because most visitors will start their journey on the main page or the What's New page, then be recorded as another new visitor if they read a review on kitreview.com, or look at a Gallery on gallery02.kitparade.com .

However, the page view and download data will be valid.

In summary, HyperScale's visitors viewed more than 1.6 million pages in the month of January, with a total download of almost 120 gigabytes of data. A detailed breakdown of January statistics is supplied below:
