Top Traffic Sources

December 30, 2008 in Technology with Comments Off

As we’re closing out 2008, I thought you might be interested in learning a little bit about yourselves. Thanks to Google Analytics, I’m able to track how people end up on this site. Here’s how you ended up here:

  1. Direct traffic (29%)
  2. Google (19%)
  3. Twitter (14%)
  4. PerryNoble.com (12%)
  5. Facebook (2%)
  6. MondayMorningInsight.com (2%)
  7. Bloglines (1%)
  8. StumbleUpon (1%)
  9. Yahoo (1%)
  10. Other (19%)

Here are a few observations. First, it’s obvious that Google is kicking Yahoo’s tail. Secondly, I’m amazed at how social networking sites are beginning to impact traffic patterns. Finally, it’s good to have Perry Noble as your boss.

Just out of curiosity, how does this compared to your site stats?

    Sorry, I should have said that was the last 60 days. I just copied and pasted from Google Analytics. What a great resource! I have noticed this year that Facebook and Twitter is really picking up in their referrals to my site.

    Direct traffic 61%
    Google 17%
    Related site referrals 6%
    Yahoo 3%
    Social network sites total <3%, up from nothing 3 months ago

    Sounds like Yahoo’s fat lady is tuning up.

    Tony,
    Google, Twitter, and Facebook were at the top for me as well, and of course, since Twitter updates my FaceBook status, I think that has EVERYTHING to do with it.

    Oddly, Perry Noble wasn’t anywhere in my referrer’s list – wassup with that!? (grin)

    Happy New Year!
    Fred
