Hi GA Community,
I'm wondering about something today...
Is there any way of knowing approximately how many people log onto
the GA site in a 24 hour period?
This would include both Researchers as well as questioners, browsers
and commenters.
Does anyone track this wonderful site for traffic?
Thank you kindly,

Are you familiar with the Alexa data? That's probably the best public
indicator that any of us (including researchers) have.
Best regards,
Omnivorous-GAHi Omnivorous...
I'm not familiar with Alexa data...
Could you please explain it to me. Is it a programme or can I access
it from any computer??
Thanks,
Steph53Omnivorous...
The two links you gave me in your comment seem to apply to the whole google.com
site and not to Google Answers itself....
Mabe I missed something?
Steph53Steph --
They applied to Google Answers, unless your browser is getting different results.
But in any event, go to the Alexa site independently and enter:
answers.google.com
Also, be aware that the parent domain receives so much more traffic
that it will dominate results.
Best regards,
O.Omnivorous...
I typed in answers.google.com and I still came up with what looks like
all the google sites :(
Sorry for being a pain in the a_s...for a cheapy $2 question :(

No apology needed; it was I who mis-read what data was being presented
on the Alexa site.
How's this for an alternative?

The referenced study was written by Benjamin Edelman, a PhD canddiate
in economics and a law student at Harvard. So far as I know it was
never updated from this article:
"Earnings & Ratings at Google Answers," (Preliminary Draft, Jan. 14, 2004)
http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/people/edelman/pubs/GoogleAnswers-011404.pdf
Edelman tries to treat a number of subjects using data from the open
service that you see here, including total revenues, revenues per
researcher, tipping behavior, spread of answers among researchers,
average time-to-answer, effect of experience on ratings. There are
some possibilities for errors, since he was using publicly available
data and occasionally Answers get deleted for policy reasons or
because a customer requests it.
He also makes some mistakes on pay for Google Answers Researchers,
partly because he assumes that all revenues go to the Researcher and
partly because of difficulties in measuring amount of time spent on an
Answer. But overall, it's a good analysis of the first 19 months of
this service.
