Google Webmaster Group Participation - Redux
Warning: copy() [function.copy]: Filename cannot be empty in /home/jlhdes/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mytube/mytube.php on line 220
On January 23rd I posted some stats from the Google Webmaster Group. Matt Cutts was kind enough to mention it on his blog, so I figured it would be good to re-visit the stats. The original graphs incorrectly had January listed which in fact included only 3 weeks of data which skewed the trendlines. Whether it be the Hawthorn Effect or just some end of month house cleaning, but the Googlers really picked up their participation towards the end of the month.
Matt Shaved the beard, so he needs to update his logo…
Without further delay, here’s the updated graphs.
Total Participation
By the way the trendline formula is y = 0.5012×3 - 1879.4×2 + 2E+06x - 1E+09 so if you’d like to predict the total number of posts in 2037 feel free.
Posts by Employee
We’ve added another contributer, Andrey Stroilov. Welcome, and I look forward to your contributions.
Posts by Googlers as a Percentage
This is turning out to be a nice sinusoidal wave, which is interesting in it’s own right, looks like we are ready for an uptick in Googlers’ insights if you believe graphs.
