Blog traffic in 2008

It was a lot of fun to track Google Analytics last year. Since I started writing this blog in mid 2008, traffic to my one-page site has been increasing.

Have a look at the visitors graph:

Can you tell when this blog was launched?

It’s interesting to see the different implications each post had. For instance, one of the first about uppercasing the first letter of a MySQL result value, has brought 313 visitors to this site (through almost as many search phrases) while the one about a Euro conversion rate feed brought none.

As a side note: close to 63% of these visitors used FireFox.

Besides that, bounce rate is at an extremely high 75%. While this is normal since the only thing this site has to offer is that once specific piece of information someone was looking for, it should be fairly easy to have visitors browse through more than one page.

If time was on my side and I would be short on work, that would probably be a fun challenge!

It’s great to use these experiences in other projects though.
