DTC Group Memberships

On January 12th I put together the spreadsheet to the left, showing DTC group numbers. I realize now that I completely screwed up the % of average. Multiply it by ten and you've got the right number. I just looked at the groups and created the spreadsheet shown below. If someone can let me know the numbers for March and June that would be great - most groups are set up so that you can see how many members they have whether you are a member or not, but those two won't let you look at anything at all if you aren't a member. So, anyone who's a member of one of those groups, go to the home page and look in the left hand column, second box down, Group Information, number of members. So, what does this tell me? First, I think the theory that the closer you get to that group's referral the more people the group aquires is accurate - July and August and September have all taken on a lot more people. The earlier months have remained fairly stable, with the exception of April, which seems to have really blossomed. We must remember that most people seem to be a member of two or three groups. So, we really can't analyze May through August without the month of June - I would love to be able to compare it to the poll, but without June, we really can't. Also, it is important to know that June has made it really hard for new members to join, so many of the June people are joining the July group - further throwing the numbers off. In other words, we may not really be able to glean much from this.

Too funny - looks like ya'll were giving me numbers while I was researching them and then putting the spreadsheet together. Great minds think alike :)

Update - it appears June is 550. I'll work on an updated spreadsheet and then see how much luck I have actually publishing it without Blogger flipping out about it again.

RQ et al. These dtc numbers seem to indicate that the 'bubble' we've all been talking about (of April and May '05 Lids) might extend into June, July and maybe August. This is very scary to me.

Am i reading it too literally?

I am guessing that you are going to touch on this when you analyze the numbers...

Remember that many people in June DTC group are late May LID and also early July LID`s.
If we were seeing full months being referred, people would know what DTC group they belong in...but the way the system is working now, we have to join three just to make sure we get it right.
