    Pretty much suspected this - forum traffic somewhat mirrors the spot price, with increased traffic when the spot price rises. Interesting to note though at the end of September the increased traffic with a FALL in spot price.

    Graph covers 1st Jan to 25th Oct, maps site visits (not visitors) to USD spot.

    Actually, you can see small bumps in the visits just after several drops in the spot price.

    Early May (obviously), late June, late July, early August, late August, early September and mid September.

    Does everyone rush to the forum to search for forced sales?

    This behaviour is what I would expect, increasing interest with increasing prices but also interest when price drops a lot as people what to know why it dropped.

    Does this mean we're not gonna post much soon?
    Great trends, I've checked out this site each day for wellover a year now but have only registered as a member recently, does the graph show traffic for members or lookers?
    Cheers

    The key here is a 50% traffic increase in 8 months.

    Good sign of things coming :)

    I came looking for a very small amount of fine silver, then bought way more than i needed.

    I will be sticking around, even if i don't buy much, i like learning about new things:D

    Another interesting stat would be at what rate people are signing up as members. Any data on that?

    GP, would it be possible to filter the traffic for trading activities only?
    Also it would be interesting to plot any large buying or selling (e.g. group buys, site sponsor selling, etc) against spot price, just to see good the big players are with their timing :)

    Only thing I see is a possible correlation between large/rapid movements in spot price (high volatility up or down) and increased site visits as a result. I would expect a similar relationship between volatility and number of daily posts. Advertisers take note....
