NEW POLL - Who reads this page?
Fri, 28 Mar 2003, 01:13 amNew poll topic:
There seems to be a bit of controversy regarding whether or not it's effective/necessary/annoying to post the same message across several forums, in the belief that otherwise it might not get read.
The relative number of posts in each forum each week (see "about/statistics" above) gives a rough guide to how much traffic passes through each forum, but it doesn't take into account the visitors who read but don't post information.
Please indicate which forums/areas of this website that you regularly visit and read the notices.
(If you regularly follow links from the home page - or if you get the digest, and therefore skim read ALL notices...please still indicate if you visit other forums as well. It's relevant to notice where we're doubling up.)
Cheers,

Re: Poll Results - Who reads this page?
Tue, 15 Apr 2003, 05:28 pmResults of the last poll asking which sections of this Website are regularly read...
138 participants over the last fortnight.
80 of which indicated that they regularly read the Audition section. (58%)
63 read Billboard Bulletins (46%)
61 read What's On (44%)
59 read Reviews (42%)
57 read Musicals (41%)
56 read Greenroom Gossip (41%)
38 read the Home Page (27%)
36 read the Classifieds (26%)
27 read Polls (20%)
26 read Tech Talk (19%)
20 read the News items (14%)
8 get the email digest (6%)
(percentages are different from the poll page because it doesn't account for multiple voting)
Each voter reads an average of 3.8 sections regularly.
Seems that not many read every section, but by far the most commonly
included section is the Audition notices.
Of the forums, Billboard Bulletins is the most highly read.
These two facts combined suggest to me that if you have an audition coming up that you want to advertise, you pretty well cover all bases by posting it in those two sections.
(I would also argue that flooding the one post across all sections doesn't seem hugely more effective than just posting it in the most popularly read section... but don't let me interpret these statistics for you to suit my own agenda...)
Similarly, the What's On section ranked pretty highly. Make sure you list
your show in there, and use the Billboard Bulletins forum to draw attention to it.
And Reviews are regarded as pretty important reading...keep posting your opinions of shows you see. People are reading your reviews...seems we all want to know what someone else thinks.
