An observation on how new feature car people find TWF.com

The April 2010 issue of Mustang Monthly has an article in the Late Model Corral that mentions this site. It is a very nice mention that provide a good overview of the site. It does state that, at first glance, the site seems oriented toward 1993 cars. But, it’s not, and they quickly conclude that. I’ve explored that topic in the past and see no reason to revisit an identity change. But, it is an interesting observation from outside of our “feature car” centric world.

In looking at how search results get people to this site I have always felt rather good that the top search results that get people here always involve “triple white fox” or some variation. I feel that I was the first person to put those terms together back in 2002 in order to describe my car so its interesting to see how popular it has become.

February 2010 TWF web stats

But, taking a slightly different view of these numbers, we see that there are no search terms related to 1992 that got people here during February 2010 the month from which they stats come. That is typical of most months where, at most, there are a few search results related to 1992.

Now search results are not really representative of who visits here regularly. You existing members link directly here so we don’t see that in the search results. And, some of our most active and enthusiastic members come from the 1992 crowd.  But, I think I can conclude that there is more work to do to get this site out there and noticed. A mention in Mustang Monthly certainly helps!
