Here are some statistics on Mix through (roughly) its first year:

* 142,220 pageviews a month
* 15,525 visits a month
* 4.92 average connections per user
* 0.45 average sharing activity per user per month

They came up pretty well considering they were new .

Thanks for the tip. We don't manage Mix anymore, and I know they have something in place already tracking web metrics. I'll send a note to them with your suggestion.

Re. Connect vs. Mix, there's not as much overlap as you think. Connect is for networking inside the firewall; Mix is for networking with outside parties, e.g. customers, partners, consultants, etc.

Content on Connect tends toward getting work done, information sharing, and collaboration. Content on Mix tends toward knowledge and idea sharing and networking with various people in the Oracle community at large.

Perhaps you'd like to investigate Oracle Real User Experience Insight for getting technical metrics for Mix, as it is designed specifically to get statistics for websites, for monitoring pageviews, locations of visitors, hits, performance of user experience, etc., can re-use existing web analysis tool page tagging, and you can set-up KPIs for any statistic measured. Talk to someone in the SAM team for more details (or I'm happy to speak with you offline about it).

I see there's Oracle Connect and there's Oracle Mix. How should we use these different facilities, as they seem to be massively overlapping?

For Mix, we've use Omniture for web metrics for several months, Mint before that. We use Mint for Connect as well, it's not free, but nominally priced. I don't put a whole lot of stock into the accuracy of web metrics, due to exactly the problems you mention.

We did db queries for the other stats.

How do you calculate stats? I use three different tools, and their data varies wildly:
