It seems we're quite interested fans! http://www.dcunited.com/index.cfm?section=main&cont_id=152756 -Tron
Nice, now if they'd do something about their store. Seriously, look at the turnout they had on a rainy Friday for the equipment sale. If they stocked their online store with stuff WE THE FANS actually want, think of the money they'd make. The money from the merchandise sold at the stadium does not go directly to DCU. The money from online sales is theirs 100%. Do the math guys.....
actually those statistics are not the normal way one measures web traffic. page views are not a particularly valuable statistic unless you are looking at particular pages, i.e. if you have a particular page on your site you are trying to drive users to, then pageviews is important, but in the aggregrate as they present it is not very useful. the most significant measure of traffic is unique visitors and 30K is fairly impressive, though i would be interested to see if this number holds through the off season, surely traffic spikes during season. for commerical sites, 250K unique visitors is sort of the "magic mark", if you average that a month you can usually attrack advertising at prevailing rates. of course, DCU has pre-existing relationships with advertisers and is focused on a pretty niche market space, so it would likely be evaluated differently.
Does this mean we "ex-pats" are any closer to getting webcasts of the games? I want my DCU webcasts!!!
