Crazy Meds' Traffic

As I wrote last time, from November forward I'm using Google analytics to track visitors.

Per their far-too-complicated algorithm to quote here the average over the period of 1 November 2006 through 31 March 2007 is 6,856 unique visitors a day. The usual pattern of spikes of over 10,000 visitors on weekdays and barely over 5,000 on weekends and around holidays still holds true. The good news being that even a goodly portion of the mentally interesting have lives.

I prefer the metric of unique visitors over hits. Hits are easily inflated by having lots and lots of little graphics all over the place. Like all of our avatars on Crazy Meds Talk. I see crap all over the place where people are putting up multiple meaningless graphics and using cascading style sheets and badly designed .shtml in an effort to inflate hit counts to make their sites seem more important than said sites really are. During the same period the average hits per day is 95,423. Wow! That's way more impressive than 6,856 visitors, because it's a bigger number!

Along similar lines bandwidth usage is equally irrelevant as a way to measure traffic. It's important to me, but it's not too useful to any third parties. Again, how useful is an average daily bandwidth of 1.4 GB? Plenty of people out there will link directly to the US versions of the PI sheets I have stored here, which are big-ass .pdf files. Those suck up a lot of bandwidth, for one visitor looking at what is technically one page. And why to people link to my PI sheets? Either they think I'm more reputable than the drug companies themselves, or they just like that I keep the PI sheets in a static location. Who cares if I let them get up to a year or so out of date sometimes?

Visit the Support Page for how you can help if you don't have any money laying around. This includes reviewing Crazy Meds for Amazon.com and/or

Take care of yourself, and keep taking your crazy meds!

If you still have unanswered questions about this or other medications, including which one is, or combination of meds are the best for you, your best bet is to ask on Crazy Meds Talk. Better yet, if you want to let the world know how they worked out for you and want to help out others in their quest for the correct meds, join the party.
If you want to discuss your issues, I suggest checking out one of the various support groups online.
Otherwise, if you're letting me know about how much you like or hate the site, or need to let me know about medication effects in private, then just drop a note to jerod23 at gmail dot com Honestly, I usually don't have a lot of time to answer e-mail these days. The snide autoresponse message that may or may not hit your mailbox is going to tell you the same thing.
Another problem is that you may not get a response even if I wanted to send you one. You see, so many dickweeds with malicious intents and too much time on their hands have appropriated the crazymeds.org domain name to use for their spam, viruses and the like. Subsequently some lazy-ass e-mail protection software authors just go by the domain name, and not the IP address. So I've been blacklisted because of the actions of others. Or the software just doesn't like the domain name because of the "crazy" and/or "meds." Or your question about a particular medication will set off spam flags. So the e-mail just wouldn't go through regardless. Sorry.

Hey, did you find this page all by itself through Google or some other search engine? Great! But to really appreciate the entire site, you need to start here.

What happened to us won't necessarily happen to you. Nobody on this site is a doctor, therapist, or a pharmacist. We don't portray them either here or on TV. Only doctors can diagnose and treat an illness. Some doctors tend to get pissed off by patients who know too much about medications, so tread lightly when and where appropriate. Diagnosing yourself from a website is like defending yourself in court, you suddenly have a fool for a doctor.
