It seems like both Peakoil.com and EnergyBulletin.net have peaked. Traffic has been consistently down throughout 2007, despite ever increasing oil prices.





This could be read as a good thing, couldn't it? People are now aware of the problem. Mission accomplished!

That's just brilliant, Lorenzo!

You are the absolute Snidely Whiplash.

We peaked about the same time as global oil supplies. Oh well, now we are historians, not prophets. Maybe not as interesting to talk to.

I still think that this site is the best one on the internet.

The Oil Drum may have stolen some of our fire.

It's not as interactive as this site. You can comment on stories, but it's not the same.

Don't know about Alexa. LATOC is currently averaging 10,700 visits a day. Last year it averaged about 5,700. So traffic is close to double what it was last year but according to Alexa it's down or about the same.

Alexa data is based on those people that have the Alexa search bar or plugin installed. Not exactly an objective view of site traffic.

As an FYI, both AdAware and Spybot mark Alexa as spyware. Many people delete it for that reason.

I would take these stats with a large amount of sodium chloride.

Also, the logic of Peak Oil education, or even its mainstream exposure resulting in a lowering of visits to this site may be false.

I believe that as more people figure it out they will enter into denial and NOT come to this site to find out more. Or, they will not enter into denial, their knowledge about the subject will grow to the point where they no longer need to know more about Peak Oil and instead move on to figuring out what to do about it.

I, and others, have progressed in the same fashion.
Exposure, Discovery, Enlightenment, Acceptance, and Action.

If I am figuring out how the heck to do with Peak Oil, I certainly don't need this site anymore nor do I need energbulletin.net
It would be like describing the water while everyone is drowning. I need to know how to deal with it, and the debate of peak is no longer in question, we have moved past that.

This is a lesson in percentages.

The Alexa numbers are basically saying that the rest of the internet has more share of the traffic than PO. It doesn't tell you traffic values for the sites. An analogy would be market share vs market cap for a business. Market cap could double but still be less of the total market due to growing GDP.

The internet has grown exponentially over the past few years and PO has done well keeping its share. 0.001% of the entire internet ain't too shabby. That means that 10 of every 1 million hits goes to this site alone.

PO.com is fast losing it relevance. It is becoming populated with 911 wackos, "uberdoomers", die off fantisizers, etc. Where did rockdoc go? The noise is drowniing out the signal. I suspect my days on this site are limited as well. it's become a waste of time.

Maybe many of the 'old hands' of peakoil.com are now well an truely into the acceptance phase of the grief process and have become spectators rather than those looking for answers and solutions.

Heinberg's posting here?

Rockdoc chimed in a couple of weeks ago.

We've peaked? But the OOIP has increased. How many of these new users are P1?
