Figby.com’s growth in 2004
As you can see from the graph, this site has grown quite a bit in traffic over the last year. I’m seeing over 1000 unique visitors most weekdays now, which isn’t amazing, but it’s nice to know somebody’s reading this stuff.
The first real jump in traffic seems to have been in August, roughly coinciding with my switch to WordPress. Maybe some of the sheer charisma of WordPress has rubbed off on this site, or maybe it’s just the fact that I’ve been posting longer and better posts since switching to a platform that made it easier to post. Or maybe I had more time to post because I spent less time coaxing homebrew software into working.
Thanks to everyone who has read or linked to this site over the past year!
Congratulations on those figures mate – great stuff. Very encouraging to see such growth! Keen to learn more from you.
Gee, they are some impressive numbers for a personal blog. Is that all SE traffic? And how long ago did you start this blog?
I have some regular readers and some RSS subscribers, but most new visitors do come from the search engines. The site will be four years old next week.
