Traffic Roll Up

Out of curiosity today I pulled up my traffic statistics for the blog for the last 12 months. Here's some of the highlights:

  • ~16K total visitors.
  • Average of around 200 visits per week.
  • Huge spikes occur around certain posts (mostly the ones about Canada, and also Polar Pure). Generally these posts come from links from larger blogs (thanks, Uncle and Sebastian!).
  • Almost 1/4 of the traffic was driven directly from PA Gun Blog. Another quarter comes from Google Searches. About 10% was driven from Say Uncle. 5% comes from Sean and another 5% from Linoge. The rest is from other assorted sources.
  • Four of the top ten most popular search terms revolve around "40 SW HiPoint." My post on the HiPoint is one of the most popular on this blog, at least after posts about Canada.
  • 70% of the visitors are ostensibly new, 30% are repeat. I have a feeling it is probably closer to 50/50, and some of my repeat readers purge their caches and cookies occasionally or use VPN services.
Clearly, to drive more traffic, I need to write more posts about HiPoints and Canada!

  1. If you start doing more HiPoint reviews, I will immediately stop linking to you. And you'll be out the three or four people that might follow that link!
