I knew it! Dan gets a cut off records sold through PT reviews!

Ha, that must be an old Finnish joke I wish I knew what, if any, impact all these reviews have on actual sales. Don't suppose there's any way of finding out - but if a couple of people discover some life-changing music they've never heard of before as a result, then it's worth our time, eh Matt?

I do it for the glory first and the money second.

Do you actually have the figures for the average amount of readers PT gets every year?

Year #requests #page requests
2008 3,233,780 506,916
2009 3,776,539 564,502
2010 3,852,060 574,822
2011 2,893,385 469,119

Hope you can read this, seems a bit squashed up. Don't understand net stats to be honest (and I unsubscribed from the GoDaddy detailed stats service last year because I couldn't be arsed to find out what it all meant) - is this any good? It's always a mystery to me how people end up at PT. I suspect folks type some sort of Google request for travel info like "Paris Transatlantic Flights" or something and then find Radu Malfatti scowling at them over his trombone. How long they stay after that is anyone's guess! I do know though that it's the interviews that remain the best draws - last time I checked the most visited interview pages were Reynols, Mengelberg, Rowe and Murray. The Radu had a lot of hits too, but I don't know how many people are still checking it out.

I knew there was money involved…

whatever, well done folks. best 2 hours in the overly saturated xmas season.


P.S.
Every time I hit the PT page I get an all-seeing eye (on a stamp?) flashing for a second or two. Then it's gone forever. No way to get back to it either. I need to know the truth

That's (original founding father) Guy Livingston's doing. Maybe some obscure sort of Tennessee freemasonry, dunno. Will ask him next time I see him. As I've said many time before, I have zero web design skills, only the basic bare minimum knowledge of the software, just enough to stick in the articles and post the issue. The whole site could do with a serious facelift. One day..
