Is it possible to show customers the followings:
 
We currently have xxxx Products in xxx Categories and xxx Registered Users processed xxxx Orders.
 
Here "Categories" are "Root Categories" of PC. We don't want to count Sub-categories like Men/Women here. I'm sure you all will agree that, these dynamic numbers will definitely influence potential customers.

Hi Sultan,
    Here's my two cents worth....
     I would think many sites would NOT want to publish this information. Having your competitors know how many orders you have received and giving them the ability to track the numbers is something none of my clients would like.
As a customer of a website I personally don't care how many different products they have, just that it's a site & company I can trust & that they have the product(s) that I want at a good price and that they provide a good service.

Still, everyone will have their own opinions on things like this.

Hamish, I totally agree with you on this one.  I personally find it kind of tacky and it would not influence my buying behavior.  It is just like those counters on pages.  Simply a childish toy and it fills the screen with unimportant stuff.  Sorry Angel I don't want to make you sound silly.  Really keep your site clean, simple, and easy to navigate.  Your customers will like that a lot more.  We had customers that told us that they bailed from other stores just because the other site was to confusing.  Having a clean reputable site is the best thing you can aim for.
