Gig Lovers: One week in
Gig Lovers has been online and running for just over a week ago and while I’ve not been promoting it at all it’s been getting a steady trickle of traffic from Google and for about 3 days StumbleUpon (who sent just over 1,000 visitors in the space of 15 minutes – the site handled that without problem)
Bug Fixes
I’ve fixed a number of small bugs that I’d missed from my own testing of the site. It’s amazing how many of them crop up. I’ve also tweaked a few things for usability and integrated states in to the mix to make it simpler for both Americans and myself.
Indexed Pages [google.com]
For the past week it’s been floating between 390 and 550 indexed pages and we’ve had 1,300 visits from Google which works out at just under 200 visitors from Google each day,
I checked earlier today and the figure had risen to 1,400 indexed pages on a few data-centres so that should bring in some more traffic.
Upgrades
I’m just adding the finishing touches to the ‘Gig Finder’ where you enter your home (or desired) city, choose the distance of miles you’d be prepared to travel, add a few dates and are then presented with a list of gigs that match your settings.
I'm hoping to get this online today at some point along with the new 'Add Gig' form with 'state enhancements'
