Happy Bloggiversary!

Birthday Cake

Well folks, today is a special day for me and my blog, which has now been online for 6 whole months! It doesn’t sound like very long, but in terms of blogging it’s quite an achievement! :D

In the true tradition of blogging milestones, I feel obliged to share some stats that cover the last half a year:

  • I’ve had 49,016 unique visitors to the site
  • They’ve looked at 101,932 pages
  • I’ve written 57 posts
  • My most popular post (80,000 views) is this one
  • I’ve had 933 comments left by visitors
  • The first comment was left by Zep
  • Askimet has caught 2096 spam comments
  • I’ve got 302 feed subscribers
  • Alexa ranks me as 201,043 most popular site
  • Compete ranks me as the 267,244 most popular site
  • Technorati ranks me as the 27,786 most popular blog (with an authority score of 205)
  • 82% of my visitors are using Firefox
  • I’ve managed to successfully resist monetising my blog!

I’d like to send heartfelt thanks to everyone who has left comments, sent me messages, or just read my blog - the feedback is what makes blogging worth all the effort, and what keeps my spirits high! :) I look forward to writing another post like this in 6 months time…

    Thanks Jennifer! It’s been a hectic few months to say the least - but things are gradually sorting themselves out now… Who knows - I may even have time to work on my own projects again soon! ;)

    happy belated anniversary, Paul (better late than never, eh? ;-)
    as you can tell, I can totally relate to your “hectic months”. But this comment should be about you, not me, and I just wanted to congratulate you with those pretty impressive stats. Good luck with the projects - look forward to more posts from you in future!

    And do you plan to ever monetize your blog? How’s Britster going for you?
