BGN end-of-year stats!

PrintTopline 2011 stats:
- BGN pageviews increased by 66% from 8.2 million in 2010 to 13.6 million in 2011. It was the 2nd highest trafficked SB Nation football blog, behind only Arrowhead Pride (Chiefs).
- Six different front page writers combined to bring you 1,687 front page posts in 2011, a significant increase versus the 1,135 in 2010.
- 489 BGN members wrote a combined 1,432 Fanposts last year. That's slightly down versus 2010 (1,717). What the hell, guys? Step it up!
- 368 BGN members published a total of 2,021 Fanshots in 2011, an increase versus 2010 (1,850). Great job here. Some SB Nations use the fanshot section heavily, while others barely utilize it at all. I'm glad that BGN uses it heavily. It's actually the first place I look when I go to BGN, because I'm 100% certain that if there is any relevant breaking news, somebody is going to post it there.
| Front Page |
- Holy crap! 1,324 posts, Jason? For real? That's over 3.6 posts per day, just a ridiculous total.
- I almost forgot about Tommy Lawlor staying with us for a few weeks while he set up his new website after IgglesBlog retired. It took us weeks to clean up the empty Pabst Blue Ribbon cans and pudding cups after he left.
- New guy Sumith (Route36) almost won the BGN Writer Pick contest, but was edged out by Jason in the final week. He joined the front page team after one of his fanposts was promoted to the front page, and subsequently linked to by ESPN.
- Bob came in last in said BGN Writer Pick contest for the second straight year. Yay!
- Mr. electric chipped in, helping people decide who to start/sit in fantasy football.
- That hack Jimmy was churning them out up until around May, when he launched his own NFC East blog. Contributions have since been sporadic, but I think he plans on ramping it up here a little in the offseason.

| Fan Posts |
- MidwesternEaglesfan churned out the most fanposts in 2011, with 54. He caught the attention of Bleacher Report, is now a paid writer for them.
- Wild_eagle continued to scare people with his 48 fanposts.
- d-jackfan10 launched a blog of his own, found here. His thorough posts here at BGN generated the most rec's, followed by the disturbing but awesome EvilBanner. d-jack averaged a ridiculous 144 comments per post.
- People were afraid Joe_D would come to their homes and flex them into submission, so they rec'd a bunch of his posts simply out of fear.
- JIBTA... What the hell, dude? 6 posts all year? Step it up, brother.
- Golf clap for SGT Steve for running the "betting game." Lots of tedious work there, thanks for doing that.
- Our resident
closet Eagles fanGiants fan BigBlueIntervention even chipped in with 5 posts. - DSmith215 led all fanposters with 17.4 recs per post.
- Bye Dawk :( 's remains still have not yet been found.
For an extended list of FanPosters, look at the tables below to see who the top 15 FanPosters of 2011 were, ranked by number of FanPosts, number of recommendations and number of comments (excluding the 28 NFC East threads).

The BGN community is extremely knowledgeable, an perhaps the largest Eagles community out there. We thank you all for your contributions!

I did the same for BTB and BBV. It’s simply a question of manually copying the list views from the Archive, Fanpost and Fanshot tabs at the top of the page into an Excel sheet and letting Excel do the rest.
But you’re welcome, and I’ll notch this as a BGN front page appearance for me :-)

Less fanposts
But better quality I think.
Not many “Maclyn suxs!!!!! Rec me!!!!! Lulz” posts
by NZeagle on Jan 15, 2012 10:51 AM EST via mobile reply actions
agreed
I stopped posting fan posts and did fan shots. Due to the fact, that I felt fan posts should have some kind of data analysis and/or supporting articles to be worthy of a post. I enjoy most of your guys stuff thanks!

Yeah I think fewer fanposts is better ...
… and I think we could still do a better job.
Most of the year I just commented on front-page posts and in-game due to the fact that fanposts are of such varying quality. I think though when there are really good ones, they stand out.
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring it Home for Jerome.

How long do you have to have been here to be original?
I pre-date the SBN/Yahoo! connection, but I remember when I got here I felt like a noob and outcast, now I feel like an OG.
There was definitely a need for a place to be able to discuss the Eagles without the negativity and idiotic peanut gallery you find some places, and yet without the pressure every post be meticulously thought out and perfectly argued. BGN is perfect for at-times intelligent, at-times loose discussion

I’m just a month into this, since finding the app too late in the season. I’ve been soaring with the EAGLES since the days of Dick Vermeil, Ron Jaworski and Wilbert Montgomery. Prior to that, was just my high school alma mater. Congrats BGN, old-timers and everyone else.

Had I not gotten busy I probably would've had the most fanposts :( and comments.
Defensive player of the year for 2011 is...
Wild_Eagle!
Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

not much of a hockey fan, and not really in to baseball, football dominated my life since i could walk, and watching Allen Iverson
made me dribble the ball, and learn to cross people over, and that shot against jordan, dunking on tall dudes, he was pretty much my role model when i was a kid

Why werent Eternals counted
And thanks for the shout out Jimmy unfortunately real life made it much harder for them to be up on a regular basis like I wanted.
With the LT-trolled Eternals, BBI would have had an average of 1000 comments per fanpost.
AR should have to wear a Flava Flav necklace until he learns how to manage a clock.
