We've covered a load of topics at dccom but don't think we've covered the what-are-your-most-frequently-visited-sites topic. I ask because I've been spending the last few hours going though dccom usability data.
Here are a few observations that I can share with you now:-
- News Items get as many or more hits than Articles which was not the case before the...
1. Merge of the he Article and News Item RSS feed
2. Portal redesign
- About 25% of RSS feed readers actually click through to the site.
- Firefox users is at 60% while IE is at 22% (IE 6/7 combined). A note to IE users that I've turned some functionality off for IE due to CSS bugs. Firefox users get the full experience.
- The most popular page is the top index page and the second most popular page is the paginated news items for all members > http://www.dannychoo.com/basedir/mac/eng/image/category/everything/mirai/0000/00/0.html
- dannychoo.com has nearly a million pages indexed in Googles search index as of today (fluctuates)
- 30% of users come from search engine results. 30% is the norm as I observed when I worked at Amazon and Microsoft. If you have more than 30% of your users coming from search then I would advise to work with folks who run sites with content similar to yours. Users from those sites are more likely to be converted than a user from a search engine.
Relying too much on a search engine is bad - just imagine you got banned from Googles index for some reason. This recently happened to somebody I know...
-Hmmm. Just realized that I got more to share but would probably make sense to spread it out a bit.
As for the sites that I frequently visit include...
http://www.ted.com/
http://www.tuaw.com/
http://10be.blog.so-net.ne.jp/
http://knroom.blog102.fc2.com/
http://katejina.sblo.jp/
http://akibahobby.net/
http://www.akibaos.com/
http://blog.livedoor.jp/dqnplus/
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/
http://lifehacker.com/
http://www.foobarbaz.jp/
http://akibamap.info/
http://www.moeyo.com/
http://blog.livedoor.jp/geek/
And all sites registered at http://www.otaku.fm/
Do try to watch some videos on http://www.ted.com/- you will start to see life differently.
Have been thinking of merging News Items and Articles in a view similar to http://kotaku.com/ but not sure what you thought about that.
Would be great to learn what sites you frequently visit as it would help me with the usability design tweaks that I am planning now. It would help other members discover new content too.
Took this photo a few mins ago. Still need to style Saber-chans hair ^^;

i have a list at my blog for convenience. And a hell lotta sites in my bookmarks! Frequented favourites from my list would be: News & Info: - 2ch - Akihabara Channel - Anime News Network - AniDB.net - Baka-Updates Manga - dannychoo.com Music: - Gendou's Music - Galbadia Hotel Art & Graphics: - 4chan (& other image boards) - Anime Paper and blogs like Sankaku, Moetron etc.
(ID #423183) Posted on 2008/12/23 22:18
I keep permanent Firefox tabs with Danny Choo and Sankaku Complex open... Writing news posts for Sankaku requires me to check a fairly huge list of Japanese anime/figure related websites, so it's not really possible to make a full list here... A few of the bigger ones are: http://www.moeyo.com/ http://www.earlbox.com/ http://www.saiani.net/ I'm sure Artefact would like to see all the mentions of Sankaku here, thanks guys.

Huge Saber is huge. Did I mention she makes me squeal on the inside? And that I'm envious? >_> My top sites recently are: 1. Dannychoo.com/otaku.fm (indeed only recently, but hey.) 2. Anime BT trackers (Tokyotosho, Animesuki, Bakaupdates 3. YouTube 4. 4chan (various boards. :p) 5. Sankaku 6. Forums of games I'm interested in (egosoft.de fl-tw.com) 7. Danbooru And somewhere inbetween there now is my own blog that I started recently.

I would write down a list of site I go to daily, but it's kinda long and a lot it is in Chinese. If people are really interested could ask me directly. Any how, Saber is so huge!!! I would love to have it, but it's really too expensive for me. I could be just me, but fate chan is in Saber Lily dress~ Saber is in fate "battle suit". (I properly got the name wrong.) Also please take extra note with the size different between Figma Saber and Dollfie Saber.. I'm drooling so much that I can't continue typing this message.

Oh wow. Wondering if Danny's even going to be able to go through all this. In no particular order, 1) Google, http://www.google.ca/ 2) DannyChoo, http://www.dannychoo.com/ 3) Sankaku Complex, http://www.sankakucomplex.com/ 4) Trends in Japan, http://www.kilian-nakamura.com/blog-english/ 5) NationStates (Online Role Playing Game), http://www.nationstates.net/ 6) Sinfest (Web Comic), http://ww.sinmfst.net/ 7) Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/ 8) MyAnimeList, http://myanimelist.net/ I would rather you keep the articles and news items seperate, Danny. Though I read both, the articles tend to be longer and are different from the news, and I like it better when they're clearly seperateed this way.

I now have many nw sites to check out and i have already discovered some that will become my favorites in time i feel. Great idea Danny, this really opened up a lot of resources for anyone who takes the time to read all the comments. Frequently visited sites: 1. Deviantart.com ---fantastic art site for fans or artists! 2. Konachan.com---Great source for walls, scans, etc. 3. moeimouto.org--- *see above 4. Erowid.org--- info pertaining to some of my "other" interests 5. Wikipedia---my homepage 6. Youtube 7. Yahoo---my email is here so..... 8.

I never go to news sites like Moetron because I'm already subscribed, so I guess mine would be DC, Sankaku, GameFAQs, and MAL. I keep track of blogs through RSS subscriptions so even though I read a few sites pretty often I never actually visit unless I know there's something new.

While I used bot Opera and Firefox, something I love about Opera is the 'Speed Dial'. When you open a new tab or have a blank tab is shows 9 sites on speed dial buttons, you can just click and it will open in the tab, saves the trouble of going into your bookmarks or starting to type the url. A handy feature I like and have my daily sites programmed into. The sites I frequently visit are: - http://www.e-shuushuu.net (anime image board) - http://moe.imouto.org/post (anime image board) - http://tokyotosho.com - http://www.dannychoo.com - http://myanimelist.net/ - http://forum.mandriva.com/ (forum for Mandriva Linux) - http://www.hardware.info (computer stuff) - http://www.tones.be (computer stuff) And of course the niftiest site, Google!

There is a speed dial plugin for Firefox, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4810, which mimics the behavior of the Opera feature. I use it all the time and love it.

I have a lot of sites I frequently visit on my Google Feed Reader, but have found myself checking them manually... I should think about switching to email since I check it more than the Reader. ^^; Here's a few I check very often: http://www.problogger.net/ http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ http://www.gamefaqs.com/ http://kotaku.com/ http://lifehacker.com/ http://theotaku.com/ http://www.wowinsider.com/ and of course http://www.dannychoo.com/ ^^
