I’ll Show You Mine…Londonelicious in 2007
I spend a lot of time with data. And thinking about Google. And I like Matt Cutts. I like Matt Cutts even more because he just puts his traffic out there. (Matt is Google’s official unofficial corporate blogger.)
So I was sorta inspired to do the same. So here you go…according to SiteMeter.com, here’s what Londonelicious looked like in 2007. The bummer part is that I use the free version of SiteMeter, which only keeps 12 months of history, so I can’t tell you what 2006 looked like. Or 2005. Or 2004. But I did just add Google Analytics over the summer, and that will keep all the history forever (and for free) so I won’t have this problem in the future.
In general, my Traffic Sources Overview** looks just like Matt’s, which I find interesting…but then again, I am a dork.

That’s solid growth. Pretty soon you’ll be able to make some big money on ads. You thinking about doing AdSense on this site?

You will like Google Analytics a lot more once you get used to it! I like seeing where my visitors come from and where they go once they leave my site. It is interesting to see.

Hi Krista. I hardly ever see anyone admit to their stats. You’ve made me feel good now because I’m about 10% ahead of you in the figures and also showing about the same rise month on month. I think some sites get relatively few visitors and some get a lot more than both of us put together. I think it’s a lot to do with making the effort to read other blogs and make comments. Like this one. Lol!
