Ask dotTechies: How often do you visit dotTech?

December 3, 2009 54 Email article | Print article

For this week’s Ask dotTechies, I feel we should take a small break from the bombardment of dotTechies-preference-in-software polls and ask something of a different nature. You see I know much of the traffic that comes to dotTech gets converted to loyal dotTechies who come back on a regular basis. However, I am curious exactly how often do dotTechies visit dotTech. Once a day? Once a week? Once a month? Cast your vote and let us know!

[poll id="9"]

I am looking forward to the results of this poll more than any other – it sure will be interesting =). Feel free to post any comments you have below.

P.S. I am sure you all know which one I voted for =D.

    I really live on dottech and that’s what i voted for. Since i came to know about this site (i think the credit goes to GizmoTech) i am a big fan of dottech.

    Thanks Ashraf.

    @RoseD1st: Cool. Glad to know you are on the e-mail notifications list =).

    @Samuel: You can have the guest bedroom upstairs =P.

    @Helmer: Both make you fat too. All that butter in popcorn = fat. All that sitting and reading dotTech = being fat but feeling good about it LOL. (Not that I am saying dotTechies are fat.)

    @Locutus: Ya this website sucks. Seriously.

    I chose the multiple times a day option. I just stop in, look for new articles or forum posts, and then move on.

    The thing I both like and dislike is when I see something new that I decide I can’t live without and end up spending more time on the computer than I had intended installing something new. Because that of course leads to me playing with the new program, and all of a sudden the day is over. Other stuff I was supposed to get done, didn’t get done.

    I’d love to know what your daily average number of visitors actually is.

    Hey, I literary live there too. Every minute of it. But, I voted “as often as new articles are posted”. Not sure why. Guess they are the same.

    Cheers!

    I love dotTech more than everyone because of the nice reviews, giveaways and freebies as I can’t find most of those programs here where I stay in Africa, that’s why I voted for I live on dotTech.

    Best regards,

    Have to say, I stop by multiple times per day. I also have several people that keep up with what’s going on here…so if one of us miss something or see something new we make sure to let the others know. The articles and posts are great, helpful and informative…the reviews and offers are as well.

    Thanks Ashraf and all the others that are here and participate to make such a great site and community.

    I voted multiple times a day, but since there’s always 2 to 3 dotTech tabs open in my browser, maybe I should have voted differently. ;)

    Now I dont download any giveaways until I first read your review :) so I am here almost daily. Visit many other times to read your freebies reviews when the time permits. Good work!

    Greetings all! Well, I too am a multiple-times-a-day visitor. When I have down time at work or I am procrastinating when studying, I always pay a visit. I have found plenty of helpful tools for both work and study here on dotTech, and I (like many others, I’m sure) thank Ashraf from the bottom of my heart for his tireless efforts. Plus I really love the community that is growing up around dotTech – because you guys also help make this space as wonderful as it is. So thanks go to you all as well. I think dotTech is special – and I’m extremely happy to be a part of it. Rock on, Ashraf!

    I started to visit the site following your comments on GAOTD.
    I visit it now several times a day (some days at least). Often I come back to read again some reviews; I must say that I have time because I’m retired!
    Great site !
    Best regards.

    I have RSS feeds set up but I sometimes visit several times. I, also, book mark your site for a program when I download from here or GOTD as I like the way you show how to do things etc.

    Don’t always agree with you but that is what makes the world go round.

    I just LOVE this site – it’s by far my favorite. I check it for new posts almost as much as I check my email.
