Wow, a lot has happened in a very short time – this site is growing and I couldn’t be happier! My stats are rising across the board – every thing except for income (and it would be wrong for me to ask you all to click the advertisement links!) but that will happen soon (I hope!).
Here is a quick run down of my stats and ranks!
-
Technorati
My Technorati rank has risen dramatically – as I write this, my rank is sitting at 9,907!! It’s amazing to think that it was once 912,223!
On top of that, I some how managed to make it into Technorati’s list of Top 100 Most Favorited blogs!
I’m currently sitting at #51!
I really had not expected to make that list! -
Alexa
My Alexa rank was sitting at 102,848 for a long time. They must have updated recently because I’m at 83,647 now! That’s a 3 month Reach increase of 7,900%!!!!
-
PageRank
We all know that all of the Google Data Centers are updated now and I’m sitting at a PR5 – up from PR3!
-
MyBlogLog
I’m really surprised at this one, there are 82 Members of my community! Thanks guys!
-
RSS Readers
RSS readership it an all-time high yesterday with 131 readers
That’s crazy! I am so happy that there are so many of you out there who like this site that much! THANK YOU!!! -
Visitor Stats
I have always gotten a lot of traffic from Google, about now there is quite a bit coming in from StumbleUpon, apparently a couple of my tips were tagged!
You can click the following images for larger views
6161 unique visits from Google in the entire month of April and 1801 from StumbleUpon on the just the last day
Unique visits almost doubled on the last day: From 2,935 to 4,518 for a monthly total of 70,842 Unique Visits
Page Views when from 15,520 (on April 29) to 32,148 (April 30) for a total of 366,822 Page Views – That number is a little skewed: my host is counting every ping from my iTunes Music Plugin…
Forums
I have recently Launched the Samanathon.com Forums. As of now, there are only a few members – you should join up now: I’ll be giving free linkbacks for the top posters!
More Tech Articles
I have been crazy busy with work lately, training on some pretty cool stuff (which I’ll write about) – I promise that I’ll be posting more Tips & Tricks and Hacks soon (and I hope to finally get Vista up and running)! Thanks for sticking around and making this blog a success. Just remember, I share the wealth – it’s because of all of you that I am where I am today and I will do whatever I can to give back to you all!
Wow Saman, you’re doing great! And a PR5? Keep up the good work!!!
That is so great Saman, with all your time in, you deserve to be a success…
No kidding, I put, on average, four hours a day into this blog – and I still can’t manage to stay ahead!
Awesome progress and thanks for being honest about how much time you spend blog. I’m getting sick of others who “claim” to only spend 10-20 minutes per day on blog!
good karma to you and better karma coming up.
Congrats on the progress Saman. For the vists/pageviews, have you compared your host’s numbers to those of Google Analytics or Sitemeter? I’d be interested to see how they compare.
Here’s some stats from Google Analytics:
That’s quit a bit less. As I said, my host tracks every ping and every pageload when I’m writing and editing articles!
It is less but those are still impressive numbers, great work!
Well done! Hoping I will have a similar posts in a few months on my blog
Just out of curiousity, did you get any links from the Feed my Feed experiment?
I don’t know – I didn’t even know I was on that list!
Thanks!!
Saman – congratulations, that’s really excellent! Good to see your hard work paying off!
WOW….nice one my friend. That Technorati link train definately handed you a lot of links.
Now that I’ve started a new project, I have that feeling of being right back down amongst the dross once again, with no linkage. However, less than 2 days old, and I’m getting ‘dugg’ and ’stumbled’ already, so that’s a good sign.
Congratulations on all of that Saman! The link trains are actually really helpful! I’ve gone from 3mil to around 130k in around 3 weeks =0
Also for the advertisements, I think people actually have to buy something for you to get money.
No, they’re PPC – each time someone clicks I get’s me some moneys!!!!
that’s cool.. i think Google AdSense used to be like that and they stopped… or are google ads still “PPC” (pay per click?)?
Google AdSense ads are PPC
really? That’s odd… lol… I guess I’ll get my friends to click on my ads again… after my first $100 (which took only like 3 months) I’m still only at $5… and it’s been over a year since my first $100… lol
lol! It’s better not to ask people to click on ads for you!
Thats great man..BTW what happened the post frequency is coming down now a days
Saman, that’s a great deal of traffic for you! wow! *admire.
Awesome stats…congrats on Technorati top 100 favorited blog!
Congratulations… that a nice trend. Keep it up and I’m sure the money will follow!
everything’s looking good so far. a bright future is at your reach. is money one of your main goals btw or not?
It would be nice!
haha!
btw, is it just me or does this page load kinda slow too?
hmm in my case. yeah, about 10 seconds loading time then a part of the page appears. or maybe it’s just my connection.
how is it for others?
