And the daily averages look like this:

| Total | 5,377 | 3,859 | 2,354 | 1,505 | |
| Average | 173 | 124 | 76 | 49 | |
So we boosted our daily average visitors from 106 to 124 in October.
My busiest day was Oct 17th with 235 unique visitors and the big post of the day was My Thoughts On Quantum Rise Expansion. My busiest post this past month was the Eve Blog Banter post on Ambulation with 51 visits, with my second most popular being my post on the multiple uses of the Caldari Rokh (49 visits). Both probably due to the influence of Crazy Kinux's blog linking to them... give that guy a raise!
I have 45 subscribers in Google Reader which is growing quite a lot this past month as the community grows. I also switched to full post mode in my RSS feed so that might help attract more subscribers; I originally went with preview post mode to force readers to come to the website and drive numbers, but when someone asked me to switch I realized I was being selfish and made the change immediately.
October was my first whole month back in m3 corp. I got in on a couple kills and played some games with Captain Santiago of FINEG, but no shots fired. Derranna finished training to be an awesome prober, and I recently spent a lot of money on a brand new Rokh Battleship (I might have mentioned it?).
See you in November!

Congrats on awesome month. You deserve it.

ReplyDeleteIt will MAYBE grab you the odd extra subscriber, but it will definitely drive down your actual visitor totals.
Call me greedy, but I have always resisted full RSS - I want to know my demographics, and the only way I can do that is to force people who are interested in my stuff to load up the full page to read it all.
Ah nice!
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't commented in a long while. My phone is always freezing when trying to get to your comments page!
Urg, but everything still looks very nice! Had a few comments written down, but seems to have lost the sheet of paper haha.
Speaking of good blogs, Kirith. Would you mind recommending a couple exceptional Eve blogs that you read up regularly? For some reason I have had trouble finding any others as consistently interesting as yours (and you don't even write about anything specific, just what you do, day to day).
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance.
(This is Alex, if it doesn't say. Not sure how to log in anymore with the comment change. Bleh.)
Thanks for the compliment Alex.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite blogs to read is The Ancient Gaming Noob. http://tagn.wordpress.com/
He writes about his adventures in Eve, War, WoW, and a host of others but his style and experience is very fun to read about.
