Is this true? It seems from the "Overall" chart in another thread Recent site numbers that the number of overall players has decreased only slightly.

If you scroll up a few posts, you will understand what is hiding behind the numbers being posted. Which doesn't mean that looking at peak numbers isn't useful... obviously, I think it is; but you should understand what you are looking at.

fwiw, Scout's graph of avg traffic is also helpful.

Raw data sourced from PokerSiteScout , with permission.

Daily data represents the 24 hour peak Active Real Money Ring Game seats, at each site/network.
Sept Peak represents the max peak at each site across the entire month of September.
Change: Day of Week difference from last week (ie Sat vs Sat last week) for last listed day
Color Coding: Green(+) and Red(-) represents increase or decrease from previous day
Including 7 day avg, and 8 days rolling
Sites sorted by 7 day avg

Starting with this chart added...
2wk Change, thanks for the idea [censored]... this will roll to 3 wk on friday, to keep the comparison to pre bill numbers.
Blue = 7 Day Avg > Sept Peak. Full Tilt, Bodog & Absolute, at the moment.

[[censored]]

the trend from the 1 wk change to the 2 wk change looks good bu t we really need to see that continue into wk 3. if there is a similar increase in traffic for US friendly sites then I think absent of additional problems we'll be ok.

Steve, much thanks for posting the SNG data.

[BluffTHIS!]

Sniper & Shark,

Although I have no interest in SNGs, I was wondering why party's numbers were left out? Does shark only cover the SNG fields for americans so stopped following party post-ban?

As best as I can tell, sharkscope does not cover Party SNGs at the moment... his site states that coverage for Party is in beta test.

since this data represents seats and not individual players

Party also reduced the number of tables you can play to 6. This probably accounts for a few percent of their losses over that period.
