August 26, 2008

Mark Caise Motorsports launched their first website on February 22, 2007. By June of that year they had reached 200 visitors, as the site was still new and not well known. The hits just kept on coming as by October 21, 2007 they had reached 1000 visitors. The website grew in popularity as the visitor numbers slowly increased the hits per day shot thru the roof. On April 9, 2008 the site had reached 2000 visitors, just days before the opening race for the 2008 season. Now on August 26, 2008, just 4 months later, the site reached another 1000 visitors to have a grand total of 3000. At the rate the site is growing, we should be around 4000 visitors near the end of November, with the hits increasing by 9% each week during that time.

What is a visitor? A visitor is a computer that has never been on the website before, its based purely on the computers cookies. For example if you go on my website for the very first time with your computer on Monday, and check back in on Monday night, and every night that week, then it is only counted as one visitor, but counted as 8 hits. Each time you check back in after the first initial time on the website it is considered a hit, we average many many hits per day and the average just keeps going up.

Where is everyone looking at this website from? Believe it or not we get just about as many hits and visitors from outside of CT as from people inside of CT. About 58% of traffic is from CT, about 10% is from Canada and Europe, the other 20% come from all over the country from California, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and many more.

Who looks at this website? Race fans for one, which is primarily why the site is even here. Our sponsors also check in from time to time to make sure that their company is being represented in a positive manner. Big time race teams are also checking this website, we know that computers from Hendrick Motorsports, Roush Racing, Gillett Evernham Motorsports, DEI, and Joe Gibbs Racing have been on our website at least once. We know this based on IP addresses and contact with them. We also know that some current and former Sprint Cup Series drivers have been on the site, based on contact with them. And of course other local teams have been on this site as well.

What does the website offer? We offer information based on the Mark Caise Motorsports teams. We also offer a classified section on the site that is free to post on, currently we ask that you e-mail us with what you would like posted, along with pictures if possible. We will post almost anything, not just racing items. We also offer downloads like wallpaper and cut-out car activities. We offer a full line of stats based on the Mark Caise Motorsports team since it began fielding Stock Cars in 2005. We offer some news based on our experience from the track, and last year a much more detailed description of racing on Wednesday night.

What can we expect from the website in the future? Coming in late 2008 and early 2009 be on the look for version 3.0 of our site. Currently this is version 2.0, if you checked the site in 2007 you will notice it changed in Feb. 2008 to its current format. We will again change the format in 2009 in order to keep improving on it. We hope to have more pictures of racing action, as well as more downloads in our download section. We plan to have contests that will be exclusive to the MCM website. Also we plan to have polls and surveys so we can have more fan participation on the site. People have asked me about Forums, well we could do them but it would take alot of work to maintain them, I suggest if you wish to use a forum for local racing action check out greenlaps.com or jeff-pearl.com as they both have great forums for talking about local racing action and they do a great job maintain them with current information and topics. However, we might place a comment section on the site for people to place comments.
