Statistics for October 2009

october-traffic

Highlights of October 2009:

  • October’s traffic was slightly lower than last month’s, but with over 20,000 hits, that’s still not that bad — definitely one of my better months.
  • For the first time in a while, college dorm necessities weren’t the top post this month — in fact, they weren’t even on the top five! This month’s winner is about funny Google Suggest results, with about 4,000 hits.
  • A good 60% of my traffic was from search engines this month. Without any huge StumbleUpon bursts (aside from those two bumps you see early in October), search engines becomes my main source of traffic.
  • I’ve been pretty bad about posting lately, though I’m working on getting back into a regular schedule.
  • I also took out the post rating — while it’s cool, it hasn’t really provided much interesting feedback.

And, now that we’re nearing that wonderful time of the year, how about you tell me what your favorite holiday is?

What's your favorite holiday of the holiday season?

Paul, good to see this month traffic has got more search engine traffic. At the end of the day, search engines would give targeted and more stable traffic. Thanks for sharing the stats.

Mine had steadily been doubling up until September, then for some reason it’s slowed down. I’m not even close to the 20,000 a month that you are doing and I REALLY want to keep my doubling trend going with google. I have no idea why the traffic has been slowing either since your blog seems to not have the same phenomenon occurring as mine.

@Liam: Some things just seem to fluctuate, I’m not sure. Have you been posting as actively?

1-2 posts a week, but I’ve been falling behind as I’ve been getting quite a few students lately but not enough to hire a manager.
