A heartfelt plea

Since the plea went up we've seen a great improvement, nearly doubling the ad penetration. This is great progress SP's daily ad revenue is definitely reflecting a bump over the earlier days this month so hopefully it'll keep going strong.



For the curious, this graph shows a weighted ratio of ads to pageviews. Weighted because 3 ads per page means the overall ad impressions needed to be cut into thirds to get an accurate picture of how many are actually seeing them vs browsing in general.

It's still a very small chunk of our traffic that's actually generating revenue, but the effects have been huge so every little bit helps and will continue to help.

That brief spike was the arrival of the new class, obviously, and the hubbub around it, followed by this plea on the 17th and the drastic rise and plateau. Today isn't done yet and it's already higher than yesterday and about on par with the other two days, so holding strong.

Thanks for your support!
