ChemSpider Blog

I’ve blogged previously about my view of webstat monitors such as Alexa and Compete. I trust more those things that we measure ourself and can objectively analyze. Three of those measures are our own webstats, our Feedburner count for the blog and the number of registered users on ChemSpider who register to curate, annotate and add content. The numbers are as follows now:

Website stats: Over 4000 users per day

Feedburner: Oscillating between 475 and 525 people on a weekly basis

Registered Users: 728 as of today

We are now starting to see traffic to WiChempedia, a consistent stream of depositions, new links to external websites and an increase in the number of DOI linked articles. Overall, traffic is where we hoped it would be at this stage of exposure.
