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 am here much more often that I post. I’m still of the belief that you hear more when you’re not talking.

    Ashraf,

    I think by now you know that I appreciate all the work and thoughtfulness that go into your articles. While I haven’t visited GOTD more than once or twice in the past year (not to download, just look), you provide valuable insights into their offerings. Never think for a minute your work isn’t appreciated.

    I voted that I only visit once a day, but that was a lie. The truth is that I am powerless over my addiction to dotTech. Thank you, Ashraf, for your devotion to this site.

    I do visit wen you post a review on a GAOTD offering that I’m considering. Respectfully while I value your reviews, your review isn’t the final word in my deciding what offers to try. Anyway thank you for what you do.

    GOTD was how I came across your site. But now I read just about every new article that’s published here. Countless thanks!

    I am fat. And I HATE popcorn. Paper isn’t that bad though…

    I only visit once a day because I never leave…
    I might leave you alone if you would make the article visible in the email like Raymond does…
    I might even enable ads for your domain…

    I came across dottech some months ago, by way of GAOTD. Like one member above, I am retired; but, since I’m working on a huge translation project, I rarely have time to play with this stuff. It’s sort of like reading a cookbook.

    I have, however, discovered a few useful devices, and hope to send you a few CADbucks for your Christmas tree.

    I chose the multiple times option, but I didn’t see the live on dotTech one.

    I have a tent in the yard =p

    I visit the site multiple times a day. I don’t want to miss anything.

    I voted once a day because that is normal, but sometimes it is multiple times a day if I see something interesting in your emails. I agree with number nine about going for a quick look and then five hours later… :)

    I voted ‘Multiple times a week but not every day’ but that doesn’t quite tell the whole story…

    I get the email updates so I often come here multiple times a day (at times with multiple tabs open) in response to the emails that interest me and then I usually end up either commenting, installing new software, &/or perusing other articles on dotTech, but some days I don’t visit at all either because nothing caught my eye or else I got tied up with something else and forgot to stop by. So, even though I may not visit every day, I probably average 12 to 18 visits a week.

    Thanks Ashraf and all of you contributors for another huge time-sink on my computer. ;) Great site and great community!

    I don’t know much about computer related things, so I go to dottech. :) I like how everything is organized and easy to understand. I rec. it to friends all the time.

    Once a day for Giveaway of the Day reviews and whatever else that came up. If there were more activity (excl. the forums that I don’t participate in yet), I would love to visit more.

    I’m new to dottech but visit it often. Thanks for the opportunity and the Giveaways. It has made my life much better since I am on a fixed budget.

    I’ve been stopping by a couple of times a day since I have been off of work. Great site, a lot of helpful people and information.

    This is the best site by far.

    Vidimo Se!

    Multiple times a day. All the bookmarks in my nine browsers still have Politically Motivated. I need to update I guess. I love DotTech. Not sure how Ash does it but DotTech just keeps on getting better.Thanks Ashraf.

    Mr. Boss

    Who are the three punks who voted for dotTech sucks? LOL!

    Anyway, thank YOU to everyone! dotTech wouldn’t be the same without everyone’s great support and backing.

    I found a way you can vote as many times as you want. Do not do it. [Removed by Ashraf. Reason: Lets keep that secret to ourselves. Otherwise, I will have to improse more strict restrictions.] And don’t you dare. I don’t want people to say dottech sucks. It is great!!!

    I voted for multiple times a day. I wont lie. But I don’t come here for give away of the day reviews because 90 out of 100 giveaways are converters like today’s giveaway (Cool You Tube To Mp3 Converter). They all do the same thing. and remaining 10 giveaways are backup software (Paragon backup). Your reviews are always good (including that of give away of the day software). I come here to check other stuff and reviews. Well done Ashraf. Keep it up.

    Have a daily date with Ashraf. I as well will not download any GiveAwayoftheday until I have read Ashraf ‘s review. Your own “giveaways” are better anyway!!!!! Thank you so much for all your hard work Ashraf, how do you find time to do anything else?

    Down time at work and at home equals dottech time. Voted for multiple times a day. I love reading and
    re-reading your articles. More power Ashraf. Mabuhay ka!

    Certainly one of my favourite sites, all the info and reviews are highly informative. Whilst not really being a ‘Geek’ myself, I’m more of a ‘Silver Surfer’ but enjoy the content here!

    The freebies are excellent, and thanks to all who spend time researching/finding these. It’s so easy to spend money on software with exagerated claims which do more to reduce the bank balance than they do to solve your computer problems!
