Thank you for the wonderful efforts you make every month

Also, creating a summary to compare between the months is a great job to facilitate comparison and analyze data more easily.

Through comparison, I see that there is an increase in the number of new members, but it is meager so far, meaning only about less than 800 members for about 5 months, which is still a small number.

The biggest growth in the number of visits is around +139.65%, which is considered good and interesting.
In general, the statistics look promising, and I hope that we will make more progress in the following months.

Thank you again +1

Great idea, i think it will be very helpful for us. We saw gradually our Forum growing. And engagement also increasing. It is good sign for our Forum. For your fantastic effort. For this monthly report we will be able to understand details about our Forum summary. Again many many thanks to you for your hard work.

From the data above, does it really mean that bitcoinGardern is beating Altcoinstalks by far?
Again, from Traffic sources, where does BTT traffic belong? Is it direct... To be fair, source from BTT is immense in the forum.

From the data above, does it really mean that bitcoinGardern is beating Altcoinstalks by far?

altcoinstalks has 137.8k and bitcoingarden has 16.8k, so altcoinstalks has 10 times more traffic. It's up to you how to count this data, but I'd not say that this data shows any excellence of bitcoingarden.

[yahoo62278]

Slow growth which is what we can expect for another year unless a wave of new campaigns come to this forum. Then we might see some rapid growth while everyone tries to come for that $$$$.

I wonder why Russia is the #1 country? Seems like I see a few other cultures more than I see users from Russia.

No, from the data we see in the report it is quite the opposite, but I don't know how they do the calculations on SimilarWeb to show them in such a confusing way... If you look at the screenshot, you'll see that ALTT is getting a lot more traffic, among other things.



The traffic that BTT receives is direct if I remember correctly.

Thanks again @MrSpasybo. +1.

Russian local board is the most active among all on the forum. Stats for Russian local board "298680 Posts, 23121 Topics", overall stats "1499830 Posts in 289094". So the fifth part of all posts are in Russian local board and moreover, topics there are more discussed than in general: around 13 posts per topic in Russian local board and just around 5 posts per topic on the forum overall. So this stats is not so unexpected.

I don't know maybe the admin or at least part of the people who developed this site is Russian? And I remember back then in 2018 when this site started is that there are a lot of Russians already.

And even in the other forum, the Russians are one of the biggest local group. But I'm sure there are local groups that are very much active, like the Philippine board wherein there are a lot of new members as well or at least teleported their account here.

As far as I know, admin is not Russian speaking.

As for the number of Russian speaking participants, there is enough statistics to say that there is a big percentage of them in many crypto related projects, some exchanges and other projects share this data where Russian speaking participants can give up to dozens per cents of traffic. So nothing really unexpected.

What happened in May?   Compared to April, although the number of new members, new topics, and posts remained stable, the number of visits increased significantly.

[dkbit98]

I see a lot of changes in this latest report, we have most of the traffic coming from different countries, and we are getting other numbers stable.
With nice increase in website visits I think we are slowly growing and we should see more quality content in future.
I think bitcoin mixing campaigns are responsible for this positive trend, and other privacy related services are creating topics here.

I believe something has caught the attention of the crypto community to AltcoinsTalks. The number of members + new topics + new posts has not increased significantly, but the number of views has increased by +140%, which could suggest that the views are coming from people who are not members of the forum. For example, right now we have 3793 Guests & 35 Users online. The number of Guests (people reading topics) is more than 10 times the number of AltcoinsTalks members.

Another possibility is that forum members are reading posts more diligently, while their interaction behavior has not changed. I hope that when the crypto market goes into a bullrun, the excitement of AltcoinsTalks will also increase, and many Guests will become forum members.

I wonder what percentage of the total visits were contributed by the shills (for the unaware, please refer to Lucius thread). The hired accounts need to meet their post quota too and their boss have to read them as well before paying right?

The percentage of visits from shillers is really low. If you look at the posts of those users (I seem to remember there are 3 users), you will see that they have few posts. I guess the person paying them will have to see the posts before paying, but I honestly don't know how that kind of work is done. Furthermore, following the latest warnings and badges that these users have received, their number of posts has also decreased considerably. Once identified, it is very easy to monitor their activity and take action.
