January 08 stats

By Madhur Kapoor on Feb 1, 2008 in Blogging

It is the 1st of February, the time when I tell you how my blog fared in the previous month. January was a good as well as bad month for me. Good in the sense that one of my posts got around 15000 hits in a day through stumbleupon but the bad thing was that the server couldn’t take the load and my site was suspended for two days. This prompted me to upgrade to Wordpress 2.3 and then i faced some issues with upgrade but it was resolved quickly. Then i few days later, some of the database tables of the blog crashed and it took some time before I figured out what had to be done. Now coming to the stats, I will keep it short and simple

Traffic

Unique Visitors : 29765
Page views : 89435

Popular Posts

Earnings : Around $170 . Mostly from adsense

I have also started a new blog called TheSoccerPitch.com. Although, it is a bit difficult to maintain two blogs, i am trying to strike a balance between the two. If you are a soccer fan, then do visit my new blog and subscribe to the feed.

If you are new here and like the content, you may want to subscribe to the RSS feed to get regular updates about Technology News, Tutorials, Tips and Tricks, Software Reviews, Game Reviews, Blogging.

Nice to know your stat. And it is great almost 1000 unique a day. How I wish I could have that also in my blog. I guess I have to advertise more

Those stats are pretty nice. But I’m surprised your server couldn’t endure that traffic. Where are you hosting this site?

Btw, tell my what keyword anchor do you need for your soccer blog.

Thanks for the wishes guys
@Shayon
I have my mid semesters during that period so i will be unable to come.

@chuck norris
I think the keyword “Soccer Blog” or “Soccer Pitch” will be just fine.

Does stumble traffic convert for you well? I always considered it worthless anyway.

How did you upgrade your WP installation manually or by using the WPautomatic upgrade plugin..

I used a utility called “fantastico” which is provided with cpanel hosting.

Nice work Madhur. I recently had some WP problems of my own over at the1qwerty.com

15000 is cool! I bet your adsense earning on that day performs very well indeed.

Yeah, something I had planned to do for most of last year, but never had the time due to school commitments.
