Database Administrators

Launched Q&A site for database professionals who wish to improve their database skills and learn from others in the community.
At the end of beta, this site had...

8.9
questions
per day
Okay – 15 questions per day on average is a healthy beta, 5 questions or fewer per day needs some work. A healthy site generates lots of good content to make sure users keep coming back.
98%
answered
Excellent – 90% answered is a healthy beta, 80% answered needs some work. In the beta it's especially important that when new visitors ask questions they usually get a good answer.
170
avid users
2,652
total users
Excellent – Every site needs a solid group of core users to assist in moderating the site. We recommend:
  • 150 users with 200+ rep (currently 170 users with 200+ rep)
  • 10 users with 2,000+ rep (currently 16 users with 2,000+ rep)
  • 5 users with 3,000+ rep (currently 7 users with 3,000+ rep)
2.2
answer ratio
Okay – 2.5 answers per question is good, only 1 answer per question needs some work. In a healthy site, questions receive multiple answers and the best answer is voted to the top.
2,060
visits/day
Excellent – 1,500 visits per day is good, 500 visits per day needs some work. A great site benefits people outside the community. Eventually, 90% of a site's traffic should come from search engines.
