Most successful weekend event ever!

Last week, we had what was probably the most exciting event ever held in Battle Stations yet. A giant ancient flying fortress appeared over the dunes of Al Amraan and airship captains from all over flew in to meet the challenge: To try to sink the fortress and get one of the 3 rare weapons given as a reward for sinking the legendary fortress.

8.5 million HP spread over 3 instances was not insurmountable as thousands of players participated in the weekend event, sinking the fortress 3 times!



Here's the traffic statistics for the weekend event:
Saturday > 12K unique users
Sunday > 15K unique users

Wow. That goes a long way to helping us hit our target of 50,000 UU per month!

Mobileweapon.net's Alexa site rank improves 2,273%

About 2 months ago, I announced we'd be taking some measures to improve our site traffic and Alexa ranking. At the time of that post (21 Aug) mobileweapon.net's Alexa site rank was 381,945 and we had never gone lower than 244K.

Last week our ranking was still about 298K and we hadn't yet implemented our SEO initiatives yet. Then yesterday, our site ranking went up to.... 16,807! with a 1 week average of 21,323! That's a 2272.54% improvement over 381,945.



Not surprisingly, 78% of the increased traffic came from Battle Stations! (our facebook game). But what is surprising is the effect that the increased traffic had on our Alexa ranking.

We'll be expecting to see further improvements in our site ranking and increased traffic as we roll out more facebook applications and when our new mobileweapon online portal is ready end of the year.
