One of the things I thought might be nice to do here at the WoW Hunters Hall is provide monthly site reports of the kind of traffic we get, and what kinds of things hunters are looking at most on the site. If this is something that you think is worthwhile, please drop a note in the comments and let us know. If not, let us know that too!
WoW Hunters Hall launched publicly July 11th, so this isn’t quite a full month’s worth of info. Since we launched we’ve been covering every WoW hunter blog (the hunter-related content on them anyway) and we’ve also started with the hunter forum recaps. Tabana has led the way with the phenomenal Elitist Jerks Hunter Recaps, but we also have weekly recaps now for Petopia forums and Huntsman’s Lodge forums, as well as starting off the Arena Junkies hunter forums. We had someone volunteer to sift through the MMO-C hunter forums as well — hopefully he survives the trip to bring us weekly reports!

I would love to keep seeing this data, even if people don’t want it on the home page.
I like seeing this information too. It will be interesting to see next months numbers – how much has changed.
I agree with the above sentiments: I think these statistics are both interesting and very useful for the growth of the site. Would love to see next months =)
