I can guarantee that it's not due to Flex for a number of reasons. I have specific 'channels' to watch Flex vs. ColdFusion searches and I am actually paying Google AdWords to 'attract' Flex as well as ColdFusion searches. I have top 1-2 ad position for Flex and the amount of searches and clicks are still lower by far than the ColdFusion clicks.
What I have to do is do an analysis of the IPs hitting the site to see what's a known corporate IP vs. a dialup vs. something else. As for the searches for ColdFusion going down, what your seeing is a false statistic. All of the technologies in the trend look like they are going down based on their 2004-2006 stats. Now take into account that the amount of searches on the whole are UP and you see that you can't draw a conclusion from incomplete stats. This is a non-scientific trend analysis with no baseline and no correlation can be drawn from it. You can say the same about my stats, but I know the baseline as well as the trends which is more than we have with Google's trends (beta). > |Although (i believe) CF is becoming a stronger technology Google > trends > > |makes it look like it's flat lining... > > Flat-lining, it rather looks like it is decreasing: > http://tinyurl.com/rnrzq > > I wouldn't be suprised if the increase in hits on houseoffusion is > related to some "neighboring" technology, like flex. > > /Hugo > ###########################################This message has been > scanned by F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft > Exchange.Formore information, connect to http://www.F-Secure.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:4/messageid:245852 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
