The White House in Kragnes, How to Get Your .DJ Domain Name, and Some Interesting Traffic Stats

Posted in: Blog by admin on August 1, 2007

If you hadn’t noticed, our redesigned website went live on July 25th. Since that time we’ve been able to analyze our traffic stats and discovered something we find shocking: We get over 1000 visitors a day! Even though it’s only been a week, we’ve noticed some patterns that we’d like to address:

For those who visit our site looking for the White House in Kragnes: It isn’t called the White House any more. We’re not very familiar with all the details, but about a year ago, the White House at Kragnes was sold and renamed “A Friend’s House” (very catchy name by the way). I don’t think it is open any more. If you know otherwise, please let us know! We’d like to add you to our directory of Fargo Moorhead Wedding Vendors.

We’ve also discovered quite a few people (presumably fellow Disc Jockeys) are trying to find out how they can get a domain name with the .DJ extension instead of the standard .COM, .INFO, or .BIZ. When we first set up the site, we had to search long and hard to find out how to do it ourselves, so we’ll clue the rest of you disc jockeys in: Go to http://www.dj/ The domain name is registered with the country of Djibouti.

OK, now that we have that out of the way, back to those 1000 visitors a day. One of the really spiffy features we have is geographic stats that show us where our visitors are from. Don’t worry, it doesn’t give use your name or address or anything like that, nor is it very accurate, but it does show us what city your ISP is in. Of course most of our traffic comes from North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota, but it amazes us to find people from such exotic places like Kenya, Thailand, Lebanon, and Argentina were browsing our site too. What a global village we live in! We would be remiss to not give a shout out to our visitors from: Bismarck, Ellendale, Jamestown, Devils Lake, Park River, Grand Forks, West Fargo, Fargo, Moorhead, Dilworth, Halstad, Erskine, Barnesville, Perham, Detroit Lakes, Schroeder, Melrose, St. Cloud, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Eden Prairie, Brunsville, Rochester, Sioux Falls, and last but not least Wall. Whew!

Finally, we’d like to tell you to keep an eye out for some forth coming enhancements. We’re working on an online booking system so that you can check our availability online, book a specific DJ, and pay the deposit online as well. We’ll also be improving our dance planners so they integrate with the rest of the site and especially the Music Database Search. There’s a few other surprises in store too, but we can’t tip our hand just yet.
