GoTeamsGo has been open for just over 6 months. During that time, we've had some wonderful growth thanks to people like you. The more we grow, the stronger we become. More active members means more people chatting about what you are interested in. That's good for everyone.

The moderators, administrators and I do a lot of work behind the scenes to make GoTeamsGo a great place to talk sports. Part of what I do on a daily basis is to track how people find our community. I'm always looking for trends and opportunities to improve. This data can sometimes point me in the right direction. Plus my day job is internet marketing so this stuff is kinda fun for me to watch.

So I thought I'd share a little insight on how visitors found us within the past 24 hours. 2 things to point out. 1) Numbers are rounded. 2) "Visitors" includes registered members and non-registered visitors.

There were a total of 670 different phrases that people searched for on Google, Yahoo & other SE's that led them to GoTeamsGo in the last 24 hours.

Summary
So what's all this mean? Well, the 3 things that probably stand out most are: 1) new visitors usually find us thru one of the major SE's like Google, 2) they're looking for some very specific topic like "fitzgerald vs boldin" (1 visitor found us thru that search on Google) and 3) none of the topics are extremely high volume (we get 1-2 visitors from most topics) but we've got a LOT of topics thanks to you.

Also interesting to note is that new visitors almost never enter our site thru our home page. A big website is not like a house where visitors almost always come in thru 1 or 2 doors. Every page here at GoTeamsGo is like a potential front door. Every thread you start and post in creates a new opportunity for visitors to find our community.

So, thanks

You're a big part of the reason why we're grown so much in just 6 short months. My commitment to you is that I'll keep working to make this the best place for fans to talk about sports... without all the personal attacks like you see at most other forums. If you'd like to help GoTeamsGo continue to grow, here's 3 simple things that can make a big difference:

Yes, but don't leave out Lauren Rudolph. She sent us 2 visitors in the last day.

But then again, so did Raymond Henderson.

You won't see two platinum blondes next to each other on the field. Each corner of the field gets an even mix of blondes and brunettes.
At halftime, the cheerleaders threw on Bucs jerseys with names and numbers of players ("We have 32 girls, so we had to dip into the second string," Charboneau said). They danced a routine, complete with a huddle, a pass by "B. Johnson" and a Beyonce bunny-hop dance by "Sapp."

I am with you...I guess I should do a Top Ten Favorite Cheerleader post...complete with pics and what bios I can find...
