Thoughts:

*We had the most traffic in 2009? people must have really been trying to figure out that moonfish hint, and then spent a LOT of time discussing how to handle a game without traction.

*The #1 city on Chiefdelphi is Seattle? I know there are two regionals there, but that is completely unexpected. When comparing the graph with the greatest density of teams, I would have thought for sure a North East city would be #1.

*2011 and 2012 don't have the same drop-off in traffic before second quarter.

I'd bet on the new control system being a bigger contributor.

it is interesting how the "season" of CD is getting longer ...

Re: pic: Google Trends: Chief Delphi
 

The trends for "First Robotics" shows similar patterns with the kickoff spikes, but the later spikes (regionals and CMP) happening more consistently than the "Chief Delphi" charts since 2005. Also, on "First Robotics", although the total search volume is increasing, the initial spike around kickoff is decreasing. Perhaps because of more people using Chief and Youtube to get kickoff info?

israel is higher then canada. i didn't expect to see that.

Could be with everyone using CD on their mobile devices and such.

I'm surprised that San Francisco is number 2 on the cities list, considering there is only one FRC team in SF. I assume it's just regional so it accounts for all of the bay area.

That, Kevin, or you guys on 4159 are going on chief delphi WAY too much (and that's coming from me!)

Re: pic: Google Trends: Chief Delphi
 

Aren't these search queries, and not actual site visits?

Seems to me most visitors to Chief Delphi probably type in the URL directly or have it bookmark, making this data useful but not conclusive.

Re: pic: Google Trends: Chief Delphi
 

I have to agree i have only searched for Chief Delphi a handful of times i just get in through the url every time now.

Re: pic: Google Trends: Chief Delphi
 

I've googled Chiefdelphi once, and since then it has been my homepage.

Actual stats are available here:

Where's Google Chrome?

EDIT: This is June 2012's data

Re: pic: Google Trends: Chief Delphi
 

That would probably be included in Safari, since they both use Webkit.

Re: pic: Google Trends: Chief Delphi
 

I looked through the statistic pages linked above and figured out why Seattle is the #1 city: MSN (Bing now, I guess) crawlers.

They account for 7 of the top 10 IPs accessing Chief Delphi, and quite a few more of the top spots once you expand that list. They either trace back to Redmond or "unknown".

Re: pic: Google Trends: Chief Delphi
 

The stats script was last updated in 2005, 3 years before chrome was released.

Re: pic: Google Trends: Chief Delphi
 

Could this mean that Google crawlers are causing all the San Francisco traffic?

Re: pic: Google Trends: Chief Delphi
 

Looking at the varius things that bring up CD in searching, I'm a little scared. "the opposite of loneliness" is the third highest search that give CD for this month.

Re: pic: Google Trends: Chief Delphi
 

You'd be surprised by how big FIRST is in Washington State. There's a reason they split the Seattle regional into two seperate fields in the same event center and gave us Spokane. We have three FRC teams in our suburban school district not too far south of Downtown Seattle alone, and more nearby.

Re: pic: Google Trends: Chief Delphi
 

It's gratifying to discover that Minnesota ranks second in the US for the past 12 months, but we're only 10th for all years. We've got a ways to climb still, but with 150+ teams and 4 regionals next year, we'll get there :)

These are some cool, detailed insights. I like how the misspelling of "cheif delpi" makes the top searches list :D
