Publicly posting traffic and other statistics in the forums?

[dutchbb]

A few members are interested in seeing some of our board statistics. Now I do not have a problem with posting this for normal members, but could this be of any advantage for competitive board owners if they know some of this information? In that case I would rather not post this publicly...

Personally I can't find any way how they would take advantage of this information, but you never know, maybe some of you have experience with this.

quantcast is a joke.

there is NO WAY they have information on what color/race/creed or how much they earn.


where do they pull this BS out of?

ohh, yeah, and i have 0 traffic too....

it's worse than alexa IMO

I assume it's all IP to geo matching, tied in with other regional statistics that are available from marketing research and census data.

I wouldn't be so quickly to dismis the site. I agree with the methods listed by Joe above.

I don't release public data like that, but general stuff to the advertisers. I guess if I did release more data, I might get more advertisers...it's a catch-22

The unique visitor count they have is very very low compared to what my site actually gets.
