the hits keep coming: 30,000!

Sometime this past Sunday evening this humble blog crossed the 30,000 visits mark:


Wh00p! Wh00p! Here's the monthly hit rate since the beginning (the drop at the end is a new month and not a drop in traffic due to my riveting Vision 2020 post):


Something caused a big jump in traffic last month. Not sure what it was. I've been trying to be more careful about, commas, so perhaps, that's, it.

Most hits come from the good ole US of A, but Russia (with love) is numero 2:


Sadly, no one from Iceland, our favorite foreign country, has stopped by yet for a visit. May need to do a dancing with architecture post on Iceland.


That Mies post with the clever (and attention getting name) continues to disappoint visitors with the modern homes tab being the biggest overall hit getter, which makes me happy. I've put in a lot of time on that page, and I think it's illuminating to see all that architecture develop over time.


Modern Austin is our biggest referring URL with Google our biggest referring site. "austin cubed" are the most common key words used to find the site. "horse vet" is number 3 (!!!!!).

And total earnings are up! Again, can't quite quit the day job yet...

These last 10,000 hits came in about 3 months. The previous 10,000 came in about 4 months. The first 10,000 took 36 months. Those first 10,000 were also the most profitable, bringing in $3.28. The last 20,000 hits combined didn't bring that in. Must of had better quality control in the old days....

  1. I'm pretty sure Google Stats only gives you the top ten countries to visit, so you may have Icelandic fans after all. Google Analytics would be able to tell you (and also breaks it down by state and city).

  2. Horse vet??? Hmmmm.... that's interesting. :) It's probably the commas. Do a post or two on water conservation via geothermal and you'll get Iceland in no time. Congrats on 30K, Cheers!
