There wasn’t much change other than the 10% drop in total traffic due almost exclusively to the Cattle Today and Ranchers.net (same owner) forums being down due to technical issues. That stuff happens, especially when you get into running those higher traffic sites with databases that have multi-GB tables in them. It's not going to be an issue with a static HTML site but databases are a completely different beast.
This is right at the one year anniversary for this index so I thought it might be fun to take a look at how the rankings have changed over the past year. We didn’t have EDJE or Ranchers.net in the index back then so I’ve dropped them out of this comparison…
Site – Sep 2008 – Sep 2009
- Steerplanet – 31.87% – 35.19%
- Breedersworld – 5.54% – 0.95%
- Cattle-Today – 47.76% – 49.46%
- Advantage Cattle Services – 6.51% – 6.35%
- 5BarX – 7.38% – 6.61%
- Clubcalve – 0.74% – 1.25%
- Showsteers – 0.21% – 0.20%
Well, that was a waste of time. There are only two sites that had anything resembling a significant change in traffic but there’s nothing to really comment on, I’ve beat that dead horse too much already.
