State of Skinning: March 2003
Sunday, March 23, 2003 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
This month so a dramatic increase in the popularity of the major skin sites.
Deskmod saw a 14.5% increase in their ranking from last month. Neowin, a very popular site for talking about the latest in customization on Windows, saw a 23% jump as did Skinz.org.
The overall popularity score increased from 9.5 to 10.4, the single largest increase in a single month. (The value is based on a formula that looks at the site rankings of roughly a dozen customization sites and add them together, roughly speaking it could be looked at how many millions of people are visiting customization sites each month though it's not terribly accurate, just a rough ballpark used to look at changes from month to month).

Not really. All the major sites experienced increased ranking.
That doesn't mean that they got more traffic, just that they did better compared to other sites.

hmmmm...
Does that explain why andi18, Voo, Ingui The Skins, starone and treetog have downloads near or above 1000 for yesterday?

Actually, we divide the numbers on the right by 10. So yesterday Adni had 25,880 downloads. Voodo 20,940 and so forth.

hmmm, well then there has to be something going on cause the numbers just shot up for yesterday.
1. adni18 [3125]
2. Voodoo_FreaK [2525]
3. Ingui [1359]
4. The Skins Factory [1260]
5. treetog [1115]
6. DuoPixels [1102]
7. starone [1100]
8. JamesT [628]
9. elvee [564]
10. Pixtudio [561]
And if the are divided by 10 then... wait do you mean total downloads or downloads that day?
Anyway, I wonder if it is because of the War and more people being on the net?
