Well, I've done quite a bit of work on the content of the website. The presentation still needs some work but all in all, the website is functional. Currently I have 9 custom PHP functions, 1 tutorial, and 2 Joomla! plug-ins available. I've also installed a very basic forum and have started providing support for my scripts with it. Additionally, I have started taking requests for more Joomla! plug-ins. While I don't want the focus of the website to be Joomla Extensions, it has really been a boost to the number of visitors I have received.
Most of my visitors just come, register, and download the Joomla! plug-in they wanted but a few stick around and browse a while. I'm hoping that I'll get some word of mouth traffic from these downloaders. While most of my visitors are looking for Joomla! Extensions, I'm also seeing an increasing number of visitors from the search engines and resource indexes. The best part about these non-Joomla! related visitors is that they are looking at quite a bit of the site and are interested in the core subject of the website. Google has done a very good job of determining the content of my website. I'm still working on a few of the features that the website will need but most of it is operational. The link directory is installed and being populated but not made viewable to the public yet. The user submitted resource option isn't finished yet but I don't see that this is holding anybody back yet. So far, most of the website activity is outgoing only. Not a lot of user interaction so far. I've been kind of busy with the developement of content so I haven't had much time for addition or developement of features. My real concern now is user retention and behavior. What I really want is to find out if they are finding the information they needed or not. This of course will require the developement of a content survey script. Like "Was this resource helpful?" questions. I can see what people were searching for and what their search engine query was but I don't really know if what they asked for is what they wanted or if I provided it if it was. Anyhow, I think I know what the site needs visually but what do you think about the content and features? Thanks for any input. |
