Wow, just now came across this, great stats! Regarding BlogRush, my widget is going, going, gone. Thanks for the tip.

Hey, each time you report on your stat I always get more confident that hard works and consistency pays.

I also get a vital truth drilled that I should try to discount or at least should not LOSS sleep over Google PR.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Deb,

I use AWstats to review my website statistics, which comes free with cpanel (available with most hosting companies, but I dont believe you have that with GoDaddy). Have you switched over to HostGator yet, or still with them?

It does take a little time to make sense of stats, so dont feel bad. But there are usually help files, or you can easily find tutorials by doing a search on Google for your stats program. If not, just ask at the forum and I’m sure someone can help you out

As for FeedBurner stats, I was just looking at mine over the weekend. Perhaps we can find a good breakdown explanation of how to read stats on Google. If not, I’ll work on one myself

I have an embarrassing confession to make. These stats make my head spin. Between unique visitors and SE traffic and blogrush traffic. My feedburner stats barely make sense to me. My Google stats seem like so much voodoo doodoo. Ugh! I’m hopeless with this aspect of my biz! Help!!

Sorry to hear it Anita – but I can certainly relate as you know. It was very discouraging. While I’ll continue to optimize for search traffic, I intend to focus even more on social networking this year.

As for BlogRush, I’ve already removed it as you can see. I’m pretty disappointed with that, though – it really had a lot of potential it seemed.

Congrats on ending the year with a bang!

Thanks for your thoughts on Blog Rush. I’ve been considering ditching it myself. Time to take a really good close look at the stats and the CTR I’m really getting. Besides, I’m tired of my page never “fully loading” because of that widget.

Thanks to Paul who put your stats into a little more perspective too. I too was the target of a PR wipe-out recently. Needless to say even though I personally know PR means absolutely nothing – I was devastated. Finding out more and more every day that I was clearly not the only one is making me feel so much better.

I’m quite disppointed in Google and tired of the way things are handled through them. I’ve built the PR of my website over the years naturally and “by the book”. Never once did I ever do anything “black” and THAT’S how I was rewarded?!? Phbbt! to you Google! >:P (Wanna know how I really feel? LOL!)

Wow Lynn.. your visitors for a month have almost tripled since the beginning of the year ..Congratsâ€¦

Thank you Sandy! Its slow and steady growth, which I am very pleased with. I look forward to doing some more active marketing this year and watching those stats do some spikes

Up to this point, the growth has been a result of unique content plus word-of-mouth – but its great to see that combination working so well!

Hi Maurice,

Thank you for the kind words

Could you explain Subvert and Profit in more detail in relation to your success?

To be honest, I had never heard of the site until it showed up in my stats… so I am looking into it more myself. You have to sign up for an account to get behind the scenes, so I look forward to seeing what I find there.

Thank you Paul Great to see you!

I find it incredibly interesting myself, and being the target of a PR wipe-out recently I couldnt agree more lol

I have not promoted ClickNewz very aggressively to date, but keep your eyes peeled… because I plan to blow those stats out of the water this year

I like how the almighty Google is becomming less and less relevant as a traffic source. It’s still a heavyweight by all means, but with all the dings it’s given webmasters over the past couple years and the self-serving dictating of who links to what and how/why, it’s shot itself in the foot so many times pretty soon it won’t have a leg to stand on.

Soon people will ask “What is PR?” and the answer will be “Who cares.”

Congrats on the stacked stats, Lynn. Good to see the growing traffic AND ever-increasing RSS numbers
