could neopets be losing its popularity?...

Neopets is currently ranked 169 globally...
Here is a graph of neopets traffic since 2002...



More info about it at Alexa

 

169 is still pretty high!

Is that 0.2% of ALL internet traffic?

 

I'm guessing the huge spike in 2005 came about when McDonald's was doing their Neo promotions, as well as the release of the TCG and video games. Looks like it's returning to about the same level of traffic as 2003ish.

 

yeah I joined the site when the tcg's came out.Igot loads of rares.lol

 

Alexa is pretty cool, I was just checking it out.

And you can tell when things happen by the amount of traffic to a website.

For example, I searched "blink182.com" and found a massive spike around feb/march time 2005. Roughly 4x the usual traffic.

When did blink182 split? Feb/March 2005

Its pretty nifty.

 

so all we need is another big promotion and we'll get lots of juicly nublets to take advantage of

 

yup...but you should remember that ALL internet traffic doesn't me the WHOLE world...and many countries have firewalls that block certain sites...so to put it into perspective...

Google - 24%
Wikipedia - 6%
Deviantart - .37%
Geocities.jp - .5%

 

Of course Neo is losing it's popularity. A huge load of people quit after what they did with new layout. I was pretty mad at it myself.

btw why would some countries block deviantart? I think it's such a nice site with so many gifted artists. I like going there just to stare at awe at some of the things people there have created.

 

You can beg the same question as why do some countries block youtube?

 

... because there was a video insulting the king?

 

There are lots of good stuff at deviantart but there are also some stuff that can be shocking to the population of some conservative countries... maybe that is why they are blocking it...I don't know

Ah I forgot to answer the question...It looks like neopets lost some popularity if you compare it to 2005 but I don't think it's too alarming

 

I hope not then people are going to start leaving

 

I guess so since none of my real life friends actually play neopets anymore. But I still like neopets as always

 

Me neither, I'll never leave. I might take a break once in a while but I don't think I'll leave.

 

Ill never leave either.I like the new layout.people left also becouse most pets look bad now.like the Darigan yurble for example or the halloween lupe.anyways..neo will get more popular if they bring back the tcg's

 

I guess that the only thing that keeps me connected to neo is this forum and its programs, otherwise I wouldn't be playing it anymore, I admit I liked the new layout at first, but it looks too much " full " now.
Back on topic, it's still good that neo has 0.2% of internet traffic, if DA has 0.37!

 

I am never gonna stop playing neo unless there are only like 10 thousand people playing it

 

i dont think so .. did not loose popularity.
many still plays it.

 

Do you not remember all the trouble there was because of that promotion though? Loads of lag and Mr Pteri down time. It was infuriating. I was one very unhappy girl.. :evil:

 

o no!! i like neopets stock market. and how its like a real econmy
