Simplehelp - stats for the first year

by Ross McKillop on August 1, 2007

Though it appears this site started in July of 2006, I actually had it blocked off to the public until Aug 1st. I spent July of 2006 adding posts so I wouldn’t ‘launch’ a site that had no content. That, and it gave Google a month to start indexing stuff (I allowed my home IP, the public IP of the coffee shop I ‘worked’ from in East Vancouver, and every Google IP I could determine).

I suspect this post will only be interesting to a very small number of people. Since I’m a ‘full discloser’ kinda fellow, I have no problem sharing pretty much every aspect of this sites statistics, but I won’t bore people by doing it often. Once a year seems about right. Also, I’ll be referencing a bunch of these stats in an upcoming post that’ll be titled something along the lines of “What I learned in my first year of blogging”, which I hope will be more interesting.

  1. Visitors by month
  2. Visitors by source
  3. Visitors by referral
  4. Visitors by search
  5. Top content
  6. RSS subscription growth
  7. Posts, categories, comments and spam
  8. Borderline useless stats
