1000+ Visits a Day
June 27, 2007 – 8:32 am
Yes, we've topped over 1000 visitors a day for 3 days out of the last week, dropping to just over 800 on the weekends. What's the reason for this? Couldn't tell you to be honest! We're getting around 1000 visitors a month via Everyclick.com, which is actually a search engine that gives to charity, so that's pretty cool!
The stats show us that in January and February we topped just over 7000 visitors / 6000 uniques each month. Then in March something changed as that shot up to 10,000 uniques. Now we're on 20,000. Within less than 6 months the visitors have tripled, with no changes by me as I've just been too busy! I have been working on new pages for the shopping cart but these have also been neglected in recent months.
Seeing these visitor figures along with the 100% increase in AdSense (which I don't want to solely rely on!!) has reminded me to get my backside into gear and get the shopping cart finished off. The bulk of it is there for the frontend however I keep thinking about what else I could add in and the job is never finished. So whilst work is nice and quiet I intend to get this finished. I could probably do it within a day or two if I put my mind to it (and turned Wimbledon off!).
There's nothing like a big hike in visitors to motivate you 
(And yes, this is the site in my Alexa Experiment - averaging 900 visitors per day for the past week and the Alexa rank is showing 781,906 for the past week average. ;))
