I’m looking back on six months of blogging. In this posts I’ll share some statistics, biggest traffic sources and my favorite posts!

Statistics:

  • 108 posts
  • 315 comments
  • 1780 spam comments (since I switched to WordPress)
  • 37,022 visits (since I started using Google Analytics in May)
  • 195 average visits per day
  • 64,146 page views (since I started using Google Analytics in May)
  • 32,035 absolute unique visitors (since I started using Google Analytics in May)
  • over 400 RSS subscribers
  • $80.15 total blog income

Want to know more stats? Ask me in the comments!

Biggest traffic sources:

  1. StumbleUpon 63%
  2. Direct Traffic 13%
  3. Google searches 6%
  4. Zen Habits 4%

I think it’s great that the top 4 consists of 4 different types of sources. Social media, direct traffic, search engine traffic and direct referral traffic. StumbleUpon has generated a massive amount of traffic. This was mainly due to my article with 21 riddles (see link below), that one went viral when I was on holidays :)
Favorite single posts:
Posts I enjoyed writing and that keep on being a resource for myself and others.

The series:
I’ve written three series, and I’m still proud of them. 17 posts in total, but not all on my own blog.

Wildly popular posts:
A special mention for these posts, as they generated a ton of traffic.
