Despite the blog playing dead for part of the year, it has been an interesting year, statistics-wise.
I had just shy of 25,000 visitors over the year, with a total of just under 90,000 page views.
The site is hovering around the 300,000 mark on Alexa, which isn’t too shabby at all for a fiction writer with a day job and a life, too, and that is despite the web-host yanking my privileges once this year. (I’m getting better at managing bandwidth, but those spikes just kill me, still….)
So, what were you all interested in this year? And more importantly, where is everyone surfing in from?
It’s fascinating from my side of the blog, too.
