Yeah. See my last post to foundation-list (forgot to Cc/Reply-To) here http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2005-December/msg00058.html Taking a little different approach than above, I looked at posts where the referrer was http://www.gnome.org/ - these are almost certainly legitimate, and also tell us more about navigation within our site. 6536 /start/2.12/ 4021 /start/stable/ 2669 /about/ 989 /friends/donors.html 953 /support 908 /support/ 101 /friends/ 92 /contact/ (Excluding some URLs where the reported referrer clearly wasn't the front page ... even in the above, not all the URLS are found ... I don't see where the hits on support/ are coming from.) One thing is clear is that we are getting a very low yield off of people clicking through on 'become a "Friend of GNOME"' ... while Friends-of-GNOME contributions are not insignificant (thanks people!) if we got just one of the 30 people a day clicking through from the front page to that page a day to join as a friend, we'd be doing way better. Of course, since Friends says basically *nothing* about what is done with the money, it's ineffectiveness isn't very surprising.
