On some high notes. First Kiss is one of the top search results for google image search on “kiss” or “first kiss”. The print is available for purchase.

Traffic Report for November

Penguin December 27th, 2007

  Oct Nov % diff
Unique visits 9171 8963 -2.3%
Visits 12782 12356 -3.3%
Pages served 32691 35837 9.6%
Hits 248080 237892 -4.1%

Numbers dipped a little bit, but I think that’s because of Thanksgiving. It’s good that you guys are spending time with your families, rather than on the internets, as much as we love you at NvP.

Top 5 Key Phrases:
rssatellite
penguin tattoos
kiss
ninja origami
punct regexp javascript

I find it interesting that people find us while looking for tattoos. And honestly, I’m not sure where people are coming from, but that’s okay, you’re all welcome to stay.

What’s this “Popularity” thing?

Penguin December 16th, 2007

You may have noticed a few days ago that at the end of each post is now this “popularity” thing. It’s a gauge of how popular a particular post is based on how many views, comments, trackbacks, pings, etc it gets. It’s a nifty little thing to help us see what people like.

If you guys find it annoying, just drop us some email or leave a comment and we’ll remove it.

If there’s anything else you guys would like to see different with the site, let us know that too.

Thanks!

October Traffic Report

Penguin December 5th, 2007

We got a HUGE jump in October. Try as I might, I really can’t figure out where it’s coming from. Take a look at the numbers:

  Sept Oct % diff
Unique visits 2870 9171 219.5%
Visits 5124 12782 149.5%

Hits 100741 248080 146.3%
Bandwidth used 6.46 18.93 193.0%

In October alone, we got more traffic then the rest of NvP’s history combined! My gut says it’s from the fine folks at exljbrs and introducing Ninja to Google Reader, a fantastic RSS reader.

Top 5 Search Phrases
2.1 % – rssatellite
1.9 % – penguin tattoos
1.8 % – kiss
1.4 % – punct regexp javascript
1.4 % – ninja origami

I find it interesting that people are looking for penguin tattoos.

Top 5 Keywords
5.1 % – ninja
4.9 % – penguin
3.0 % – cakephp
1.3 % – origami
1.2 % – rssatellite

Ninja’s winning by .2%, it’s okay, I can catch up ;)

Traffic Report for June

Penguin July 5th, 2007

Penguin says

Here’s another edition of our monthly traffic report.

May June % diff
Unique visits 488 564 15.6%
Visits 1425 1667 17.0%
Pages served 12232 10912 -10.8%
Hits 29093 39245 34.9%
Bandwidth used 855 1740 103.5%

As you can see, out growth has slowed a bit. But some interesting things about the numbers. Even though both unique visits and visits increased by over 10%, pages served actually decreased by 10%! My guess, is that this has to do people using our RSS feed, but I don’t have much that confirm that.

Anther interesting number is how much bandwidth is being used. 1.74 GB, an increase of over 100%. This probably has to do with both the comics and all the images that Ninja uses in her posts.

As usual, thanks for your patronage, without you guys, we wouldn’t be here :)

April May % diff
Unique visits 401 488 21.7%

Pages served 5036 12232 142.9%
Hits 21259 29093 36.9%
Bandwidth used 767 855 11.5%

As you can see, we’re definitely growing, which is awesome! What the numbers really show, is that the viewers we get really like us. In April, we were getting 2 visits per viewer, which rose to almost 3 visits per viewer. And in pages served rose from 12.5 per viewer to 25 per viewer. So, even though our base only rose 21%, our overall traffic numbers increased by 50%!

You guys are amazing!

Most of the traffic peaked around May 5th.

Top 5 searches:

  • rssatellite utorrent – 7.5 %
  • rssatellite tutorial – 5 %
  • images of a ninja squirrels – 4.2 %
  • rssatellite – 2.5 %
  • rssatellite mininova – 2.5 %

I find it really interesting that a blog about art primarily turns up on search engines through rssatellite. And the random search for ninja and squirrels. :)

Happy surfing!
