Please Approve My Site!

    Folks,

    Technically speaking, tracking statistics for tens of thousands of sites is a very complex thing to do. We have several custom pieces of software running across a large number of machines that all must work together in order to reliably track, analyze and display site stats.

    There are many new users who have recently heard of Woopra and signed up, but who don't understand the history of this project. Woopra is not currently in open Beta. It is a closed Beta, which means that people must wait in line. The wait is expected to average 2-4 weeks - though it may be less or more (vague enough for you?).

    Woopra was launched just over 30 days ago at WordCamp and was only meant for 200 people initially. Because of the incredible demand we have escalated the timeline and rushed to approve over 10,000 users in just over three weeks. Since completing the mass approval, we've found that in a period of only a few days we've already had another 10,000 users requesting service!

    As you can see, we've been providing routine updates via the Blog, so the best thing you can do at this point to stay informed would be to subscribe for updates. The Blog is the only place we will give updates on the approvals situation.

    The popularity of Woopra is growing at a faster rate than just about any other service I've seen on the Internet. After only 5 weeks there are 350,000 links from Google, and the number is growing every day. At times, we are also getting hundreds of signups per hour.

    We need everyone to be a little patient with us (even Vindictive Bastards :-) ) while we build out the entire infrastructure required to scale this project. We have people asking us to de-bug and release the client software faster (by the way 10k users is a big enough sample size, I assure you!), we have to work with Layered Technologies on getting more and more servers deployed, we are working on recruiting and hiring staff, we have corporate, legal, and financial issues to deal with - and I assure you we're working on all of these issues literally around the clock.

    It's not that we want people to wait. If we had a Genie we'd wish that Woopra could accommodate everyone right now. But we don't, so instead we'll keep working as fast as we can!

    Thanks to everyone for your interest, and understanding.

    John

    Hi all,
    Glad to meet you:
    I was approved after a couple of weeks. My site is only 8 months old and very low traffic. It is my first site and I built it myself not knowing anything. Maybe they are looking for low traffic sites to get their feet wet with? :) I like what they (Woopra of course) are doing. It is fun, and is that not what we all are trying to have? I am glad to be at the roots of something like this, and hope to be of help, not knowing much about my new world.
    I am one of the first small sites to install PicLens galleries to my site. Please enjoy.

    Thanks All

    Open-Source it. Then everyone can worry about legal-, money-, serverissues themselves. I would love to be able to install this on my debian box, then allowing my friends to use my server. You could even have it closed-source, and let the server binaries be given to us. I think this is the best solution. Then you won't have to worry about all those difficult things.

    If not maybe someone should whitebox it. Re-write it. And then let that be open-source. I will hear around about the intrest in this in various open-source forums/irc channels.

    Exmº Mr.

    Registei me in the v site Woopra and I received for email the following code to registar me, what so far I do not obtain, because affirms invalid code.

    05c26866168557e5e41405b6636b1c17

    The v code is the following one:

    “Hello antoany,

    Oops! It seems that our first confirmation message must have gotten lost in the Interwebs! In matter… The following confirmation link will allow you you get started with Woopra:

    http://www.woopra.com/members/confirm.jsp?confirmid=05c26866168557e5e41405b6636b1c17

    If you have any difficulty, you can also visit http://www.woopra.com/members/confirm.jsp and to enter the following code: 05c26866168557e5e41405b6636b1c17

    Thank you,

    Woopra Team.”

    Thanks a lot for the v support,

    Antoany Jony

    The wait is worth it friends. I have one site running Woopra (was a lucky winner of a confirmation code) really love it. I signed two other sites for it (would love to do more) but so far I'm waiting for approval for those two. If this works out, I'd love to use Woopra exclusively on all my sites (I run 8 currently).

    Keep up the good work!

    From your FAQ: "It won’t get your site approved any faster by complaining." This may be true...but it might convince you that the registration and setup procedure you have applied is misleading and unethical. I've got no problem waiting. I've got a problem with the deception. Don't have me install something with the expectation that I'll be using it within moments - ESPECIALLY if it is as good as this looks. Don't tell me "approval pending" and let me check my mail every 5 minutes all day long until I am so fed up that I do a search and find that the entire webmaster world is ticked of with you guys.

    Be up front about it all, and then you can sleep easy that its just the dumb jerks that are complaining. Because the way it stands now anyone who is complaining is absolutely justified in doing so and if you ARE sleeping easy, then you might think twice about who the dumb jerks are in this equation.

    I reckon instead of having this approval service that takes 2-4 weeks or maybe longer. Why don't you start charging for the service and then approve straight away from user adding the code to verify that this code is actually embeded on their website.
    I don't want to have to wait a month or more to use this excellent facility.

    Thinking about this extreme long time to wait to be approved would turn people away and never return.
    I reckon you should change the way and timeload to approve submissions.
    You will find that you will gain alot more business for when you do eventually start charging for mored featured reports.

    hi
    i can understand that it is a tough job to look at so many thing all togather but if approval took this much time then most pplz will be put off and may not reterun to you.
    i think i applied almost 4 weeks ago and site is not approved. infact i forgot totally that there is some thing called woopra and i signed up for that. but today i was uninstalling some softwares from my system and found that i have installed woopra that reminded me and i found that i am still not approved.
    i have not uninstalled woopra so that some other day it can remind me to look again that i am approved or not. but i beleave most pplz will not do same.

    i think you should look at approvals asap

    On mashable, http://mashable.com/2008/06/02/woopra-waiting/

    [quote]Also worthy of mentioning is that all users who have been waiting to be approved should be approved by tomorrow evening. After the approvals, Woopra will have a testing base of over 20,000 users. That is 20,000 users which didn’t exist over 2 months ago.[/quote]

    I hope I am one of those 20,000 users!! Activate ASAP please :)

    Hi John P,

    Thank you for a great product, I cant wait to start using it on our website.

    I like the open mentality, and your great replies on the forum.

    I understand from your blog that there has just been one major approval round (2 June). That is great news. I am sad that I just missed it.

    How many was approved? And how many is still in the queue for approval? I hope you will be able to answer this, as it may give us hope to when we may be approved.

    Thank you
