Thank You!

This site, more than any other, depends on you, the readers, to come by and answer each question. So I just wanted to say thank you and share with you some of the statistics from the past year on the traffic you've helped to bring in.

I use google analytics to keep track of where people are coming from and what they do while they're here, so this all comes from that:

I'm also going to show where that traffic came from (for the front page, only). Google and Yahoo were (not surprisingly) my biggest supporters, as people came looking for your answers. Note the large numbers of driven traffic from blogazoo and blogexplosion. I don't really use them anymore (they helped build up an audience). Then there's you, who come directly, or by bloglines or my.msn or my.yahoo.

BTW, I've made about $30 off this site for the year. (I'm obviously not doing it for the money)

If you're interested in something else, let me know.

  1. All that data is fine, but what does it mean?

  2. To me, it means I'm building a successful site that people enjoy coming to. I also (based on the number of people coming through google or yahoo or ask or ...) believe it's useful to those people seeking answers to some very pesky questions.

    At the end of the day, we've had over 22 thousand visitors coming to look at the questions and the answers. Those visitors have looked at over 33,000 pages. To me, that means something.

    I'm also a stats geek and love to look at numbers. ;-)
