Chapter 363: Data Slaps in the Face

To measure whether a website is popular, laymen may rely on their own impressions to make judgments.

For example, if you often hear about a website, or often see its advertisements, or even use it often, and your friends around you are also using it, it is very popular.

But he didn't know that without his own small circle, this website might not be known at all.

Therefore, it is extremely unreliable to rely on subjective judgment.

Compared with the subjective feeling, there is actually objective data to refer to.

Data can't deceive people, and it's also the most convincing.

The basis of statistical analysis of website visits is to obtain basic data on website traffic, which can be broadly divided into three categories, each of which contains a certain number of statistical indicators.

Website traffic statistics are often used to evaluate the performance of the website, and the main indicators include:

The number of unique visitors, abbreviated as "UV". A computer client that accesses your website is a visitor. The same client is counted only once from 00:00 to 24:00.

Repeat visitors, abbreviated as "RV". Some of UV users visit the site multiple times a day, and these users are also called active users.

Page views, or PV. That is, the number of page views or clicks, which is counted once per user refresh.

Statistical metrics for specific files/pages, such as the number of page impressions and file downloads.

There are also a lot of more complex data, which are not important parameters and will not be listed one by one.

Among these statistical indicators, the most important ones are, of course, the first three, that is, UV, RV, PV!

Of course, in addition to these three items, there is another data that is very important, and that is the total number of registered users, which is also one of the most important data for every website. Facebook celebrated surpassing 5 million users, which is what this data refers to.

What Lu Qi is going to use to slap his face is these four important data!

Screenshot out a few data from the background, he didn't rush to post, but opened WORD, wrote an article first, and then carefully typeset and edited it, and then prepared to post.

This is a good habit for science men......

Logging in to his Tianya forum account, Lu Qi clicked on the IT section and took a look, and sure enough, the more popular posts in the front were all discussing Facebook.

He clicked "Post" and first came up with a title "I am the manager of the Facebook project department of Star Technology to answer the questions of netizens about the number of five million." 》

In the title, first point out your identity, an internal employee of Star Technology, and the leader of the Facebook project team, this identity is convincing enough.

In the body of the post, Lu Qi is full of pictures and texts, not only with screenshot data from Facebook's background, but also with various data analysis.

As of 1 p.m., 13 hours after the opening of Facebook, the total number of registered users has reached "6350982," 6.35 million! The 5 million at 10 o'clock is not the end, but only the beginning.

UV, the number of unique visits, is "4832452", less than 5 million, which indicates that some users are registered on Facebook on the same terminal. There are many cases, it may be a family of several people who register on a single computer, or it can be that many users are registered in an Internet café. Of course, it is also possible that the same user has registered more than one account. But in any case, according to the most rigorous calculation method, Facebook has 4.8 million users, which is not far from 5 million.

RV, the number of repeat visits, is "1323545", which is a bit small, only more than a million. But that doesn't mean much. Because Facebook has only been online for thirteen hours, and it is from late night to mid-morning, which is also the time when most people do not have the conditions to access the Internet. This data can only be used as a reference if you look at it a week or even a month later.

PV, the number of page views, is now more than 60 million or nearly 70 million, which shows that the vast majority of users not only registered on Facebook, but also browsed more than 10 pages on average.

At the end of the post, Lu Qi wrote.

"Many employees of the Star Technology Facebook project team are indeed from Yitang, including myself. I have seen many netizens use Yitang as a reference for Facebook, and even use Yitang's failure to prove that Facebook cannot succeed, if it succeeds, it is a fraud! Everyone is studying science, I really don't know how your logic is reasoned, is it impossible to succeed if you fail once?

The reason why the Internet is fascinating is precisely because it is an industry that can create miracles! Today you are still unknown, but tomorrow, maybe you will be famous all over the world! Facebook has indeed not succeeded, because the task given by BOSS to our project team is to reach 100 million registered users within a year, so today's five million users are just the beginning for us.

Although Facebook's model is based on blogs, you can see that we have made a lot of innovative changes. I can proudly say that Facebook has not referred to any website, and if Facebook succeeds, it will also be the pride of China's Internet!

I hope that in a year, I will be able to post good news on the Tianya Forum, and I also ask my colleagues to pay attention to the dynamics of Facebook. ”

After posting, Lu Qi felt refreshed!

In the face of other people's doubts, if you can't fight back, it is definitely very aggrieved, in the past few years of Yitang, he has been aggrieved for too long!

Therefore, now when others question Facebook, Lu Qi can't bear it, and Facebook also has this qualification.

............

Sure enough, Lu Qi's post attracted a lot of people's attention.

The fact that Facebook executives personally responded to everyone's questions was certainly remarkable.

After reading the various data screenshots in Lu Qi's post, many people were silent.

They are all people in the Internet industry, and everyone can understand what those data represent.

If the screenshot is true, Facebook really managed to break 5 million users in half a day after it was launched!

Is it possible to fake screenshots?

It's not impossible, but very few people do that, because the gains outweigh the losses.

Generally, the purpose of Internet companies to disclose adulterated data to the outside world is to increase the company's popularity, and the data is only for outsiders to see, and within the company, it is not enough to deceive themselves.

What's more, once your company wants to raise funds, then the VC is not vegetarian, they will do a strict investigation.

This kind of data is also the easiest to find out, and it will be 100% found by VC, then your company's reputation in the industry will be stinky, and no VC will dare to invest in you again.

If you can't get VC's money, you're still a hairy Internet company, this is a bottomless pit of burning money!
