Preparing my own little advocacy efforts again, I stopped to wonder, is
there any section on the www.freebsd.org web site, install process, etc, etc
that asks someone how they heard about FreeBSD?
I'd personally be interested to know how much effect things I do have.
For example, I believe the pens and business cards to be effective, but once
I distribute them I have no idea if people are following the urls to the web
site. When I place the news paper ads, it would be nice if there were some
way to track response from them if for no other reason, than to simply be able
to figure out where my money is the most effective. (Should I buy more pens,
or place more newspaper ads type decisions would be vastly helped.)
If there aren't any sections but others are interested, I'm sure I can
manage to write any needed CGI to handle the counting, if people don't mind
CGI written in plain old C. :)
Also I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, but are statistics
available as to the traffic to www.freebsd.org? Is the traffic of a level
where it could be used to induce vendors to recognize FreeBSD? (i.e. 'label
your product as FreeBSD Compatible/whatever and we can give you a small
banner, for x number of views?' Please no flames, I know people hate banners,
but I do think it's a significant enough source of influence, especially as
targeted as it is, to be of use in promoting FreeBSD.)
