one-year-old

Well actually one year and a few weeks, the first post I did here was back on Feb 2, 2008 and was titled, “social media marketing is a privilege.”  When that post first went up I had exactly 0 readers, 0 rss subscribers, and 0 anything else you could think of.  I thought now would be a good time to share some of the stats from my blog.

This blog has consistently received double digit month over month growth which I think is absolutely fantastic.  My traffic levels are still nearly nowhere near where I would want them to be, but we’re getting there.  By all means this blog really is still a baby, but it’s going to sky rocket (hopefully with your help), I promise  Here are some quick stats.

  • this blog has 370 posts
  • 1,440 comments blog comments
  • top traffic sources are: google, stumbleupon, twitter
  • most of the visitors to this site are using firefox
  • the top 3 geographical visitors are: US, UK, Canada
  • currently 630 RSS subscribers
  • currently receive around 200+ direct visitors a day (has gone as low as 75 to as high as 600)
  • received around 20k+ views through syndication channels such as socialmediatoday.com
  • visitors spend an average of 1 min 30 secs on the site

I consider these to be absolutely great numbers for only being around for a year.  There are a lot of things I want to start doing on this blog such as discussing startups, putting up video posts, giving out weekly social social media scenarios, etc.  This is all something I am going to start doing soon.

Looking at my analytics from a macro level really helped me see the growth and potential for this site.  It’s easy to get caught up in the daily or weekly stats, but I encourage all of you to trend your analytics over a macro/lifetime period.  You may be quite surprised/impressed with what you find.

So what do you think of the stats?  Is there something else you want to know that I haven’t included, just let me know.

Thank you everyone for continuing to visit my site.
