Looking good - gotta say the admin/mods do a great job of keeping the forum free of spam/junk/trolls

At the moment it is 1,586 new reviews in past 30 days (click Recent Reviews and jump to last page).

I believe that is all time record, according to this old thread keeping track of the review record: https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?msg=1165357

It averages to 52 new reviews per day.

Which is more than what AdultWork get in Field Reports (41 yesterday according to this page: External Link/Members Only)

Regardless of whether it is am accurate comparison, who would believe that when this site was created?

In terms of visitors, this site has grown 30% since same period last year.
We're now getting 900,000+ unique visitors per month (counted by Google Analytics cookies, which is the best way to count unique visitors, much better than IPs).

Wow that is some impressive stats Admin.

Shows how helpful and reliable UKP is.

Wonder if NIK envisioned this as you mentioned.

I understand the content is mostly text, but the addition of adding images to posts, I wonder if that is taking the toll on the servers/storage.

Feel free to ignore my query if it is sensitive information to share.

At the moment storage is 95GB and bandwidth is around 9TB/month (for UKE and PW included). It doesn't add up to much money wise (I think $80 per month).

But that's not a problem, I can simply add more storage and servers to deal with more visitors. Also I know what changes that can be done (software / server / database-wise) to handle more traffic on the same hardware resources.

If I was given choice of 10x increase in monetary expense for bigger site, I would take it. My desire to keep this site running is more important than any expense required. I get pleasure from the haters reading right now who can't stand 1) UKP's success 2) their own sites failure  :music:

Thanks Admin

Appreciate all your efforts in keeping UKP live and thriving, especially with all the reports and banning that comes across on a daily basis.

I am personally starting to enjoy weeding out fake WGs and pimps who are out there to rip off punters and make quick money.

IMO haven't come across any other adult review site that has been as helpful as UKP. Cheers

I fucking love catching out touts and fake reviewers and white knights  it makes Admins job easier as he focus on running this fantastic forum. So it helps if most punters are vigilant and report things that they may feel is strange.

When you look at the number of members banned in the last year, WGs trying to get their bad reviews taken down, mumsnet trolls and journos trying to cause problems, and the fact we were going throught the referendum during this period last year, the stats are impressive. We still get more activity on the site than ever and more reviews than AW field reports.

In my last punt, the WG mentioned UKP in conversation as if it was a household name like TripAdvisor or Go Compare. She made no mention of any rival forum. I think rival forums will be an obscure reference by this time next year.

 900,000 unique visits in a month, that is quite staggeringly  brilliant. 
Using figures in an extremely loose way.
If we imagine most of those 900,000 visitors are men, in in the 2015 census there were 43 million people aged between 20 and 75 in the UK, roughly half of them are male   =21.5m/900,000 is one in 24
So 1 in 24  men of an age when they are likely to be interested in seeing prozzies visited this site .
Obviously not all punters use this site-yet!
Begs the question, just how many men in the UK do frequent the ladies?

Offline a_test_person

At those numbers... thinking about the cash...

How many punters review vs pay in the UK? 100:1? 1000:1

Even at 100:1, given an average punt price of £110 that's around £99000000 a month on WGs. 99 million pounds a month.

Does that make sense?

Big business that's what attracts the lowlife pimps and prossies to do fake reviews and white knighting.

Kudos to admin and team, review writers and readers because in a business where honesty and transparency are substantially less prevalent than greed and avarice, the biggest, most read sex buyers' reviewing site is also the straightest, unsullied by advertising, with an active core of punters relentlessly seeking and destroying dodgy posters and keeping it clean.

Yes whatever the amount this is the relevant point in my view. Its worth the time of low lifes to lie on here so some do. Admin mainly but those of us that care about UKP also do what we can to rid UKP of these scum bags who are trying to undermine this great forum, they wont succeed.

Extract below:
"The number of men paying women for sex has nearly doubled in a decade, UK research suggests. Surveys of 11,000 British adults in 1990 and 2000 found the rate increased from one in 20 to nearly one in 10 men."

With the report being dated 2010/11 then not hard to figure that the rate will have increased further

For a moment i thought YLF had himself done 9,000 reviews this year alone  :lol:

Wonder about this all the time. Is it way, way more than any of us would believe?  :unknown: Do I know people on here (surely, yes). How many? Who? Could take a few guesses, but my only real reason would be because they are lads who've been single for ages. Whereas in reality, could be the person you least suspect. Half the blokes on here are married.

I wonder how much of the web traffic is from abroad. You wouldn't necessarily think a lot is, but then again, London is such an international city, I imagine that board is of interest to punters all over the world. Also hard to say how much is down to prossies, pimps, mumsnetters, researchers etc. Sometimes surprised by underage trolls  - in between school, facebook, wanking, hanging out in parks etc., not sure how a teenager ends up larking about on here, but apparently they do.

In any case, shout out to admin and all who play a part in keeping UKP going strong  :hi:

93% is UK according to stats.
Rest is non-UK.

Without a doubt they'll be plenty of visitors who are non-punters curious about paid sex, I know from referring stats there have been dozens of mentions of UKP on non-adult forums (like football / sport forums, even around the world).

93% - that's rather high. Even accounting for the non-punters, the number of unique visitors from the UK must be incredibly high. There are clearly many, many more punters out there than most of us realise. Funny to wonder who some of them might be.

Men crave variety, get married, get bored, need to shag different birds, plenty of single blokes can't be bothered to go through the rigmarole of pulling, so for both types paying for it is simple, no emotional attachment, a guaranteed result and as long as you are smart, little chance of getting caught out, so punting numbers are likely to be high. Those that can punt, I reckon plenty of fellas who can't or won't punt but are fascinated by the whole deal and live vicariously by reading reviews on here.

 Yes you're right Yeboa, I have always been  fascinated by this scene looking at adverts and profiles et cetera but never doing anything about it, till 3 years ago.

 My very rough back of a fag packet calculation showed that between 4 and 5% of UK men visited this site.  The official estimate of UK punters is about 10%, if this site Carries on growing the way it has in a couple of years we could be exceeding that 10% and eventually prove that 10% figure to be way too small.

A good observation.  And what a great word vicariously

IMO some of those who feel they won't or can't, for whatever reason / reasons, end up dipping their toe in the punting ocean thanks to being on here.  And summoning up whatever courage is needed to take the plunge

Edit - i've just thought of a new charity fund-raising theme.  More fun than 'brave the shave' is 'take the plunge for clunge'.  And make a 10% charitable donation to ease your conscience

What I believe this demonstrates is that if a working girl gets a bad review/reviews, it really will now effect their business. As we have so many punters here now, more working girls are reviewed and more people notice the bad ones.

When we started the Brum FBSM thread little did we know that it would attract over 600,000 views and 4000 replies.

Add to that the off-shoots of Brum Chinese massage girls and Wolverhampton FBSM - another 250,000 views.

There are similar threads in other regional areas for FBSM making the number of views staggering!

The massage girls tend to advertise on Gumtree and Vivastreet. Any reviews in the official review areas do not link to the girls in the same way that the FS girls do with their AW ads.

Therefore, most of the ' reviews' and recommendations are contained in the relevant threads which must amount to thousands!
