I have been analyzing and over analyzing traffic over the course of this last month more than I have ever done so before in my blogging career.  I have been looking at unique visitors, referrals, page views literally more than one should.  What do all these numbers mean to me?  I have to say that once again I have been literally blown away by the amount of traffic my site receives from the dynamo of the social networking sites called Cre8Buzz .  If you look at my referrals image below you will see that cre8buzz accounted for over 1300 of my referrals. If you do the math I received about 7% of my total referrals from cre8buzz.  Now, you also notice that stumble upon gave me the most referrals but most of those referrals came from an article I did on traffic and cre8buzz .  Of course, you will have the big boys like images.gooogle.com and searchlive.com bringing a site like mine a decent share of traffic but cre8buzz still, ultimately, more than holds its own. 

 

Top Referring Domains


As far as my other traffic stats, I really don't want to bore folks but I think it is cool to learn from what works (or doesn't) if traffic is important to you as a blogger and hopefully through the power of knowledge we can all come out on top.  Anyways, the next part of the traffic I look at is my page views.  This part of my traffic, perhaps more than anything else is absolutely mind boggling.  I have had over 150,000 page views (if March 31st records below average numbers).  WTF?  Is that all me?  Or do people really like reading my articles?  I know I surf my site and crack my own self up just about all day, but do other people really enjoy my hard hitting articles on nose pickers as much as I do?  Anyways, freakin' unreal.  Here is my proof:

 

Page Views for March '08

Now, I get down to the nitty gritty-the unique visitors.  I have to say that I would like to call for a recount, but I will take it.  On the grand scheme of things my traffic is stupid, but I am so grateful that folks stop by and actually read my stuff you wouldn't believe it.  Just the other day my Brother's (in law, but my three brother in laws are my brothers the way I see it but w/e) girlfriend was telling me that she liked my article called The Incident and that she told her mom about it.  I was blown away.  First, that people like to read about my bowel movements, and second that they tell other folks about said stories--insanity.  Anyways, here are my stats for the month for UV's:

 

Unique Visitors for March '08

So, what have I learned this month?  Well, first I have learned that it is important to have good content preferrably about people picking their noses or bowel movements.  Second, I have learned that cre8buzz (incidentally they are opening their doors to the public April 1 and they are no longer invite only) rules and stumble is also pretty darn important.  Lastly, I have began to wonder if my site garners enough traffic to throw down with some ads.  I would like to use April as a test month for some ad content (nothing in the way and in bad taste) just to see if sites like mine can earn modest income (to pay for the site and its gadgets perhaps).  I will keep you posted to my findings in April and hopefully learn something from the experience.

Awesome man! Great job, and it doesn't surprise me at all. March was a great month for me too, and I definitely noticed a boost from cre8Buzz. Keep up the great work! -Jeremy @ Discovering Dad

That's it. I'm going blind. I had to squint and even then I could barely read the screen shots you had up. *sigh*

I will happily back up cre8buzz as a great place. I have connected with some amazing bloggers there. The only downside is that once I log-in, I can't seem to log-out! 
 
Poop and boogers work for me, and if I can make money YOU certainly can!

Living with all males, I've written my share about poop and boogers and all things related to bodily functions. I've learned alot in the last few days about blogging, just exploring your site. I appreciate you sharing. Some people are stingy with such information. Thank you for enlightening me.

Props on your poops, I think... 
 
I agree that the buzz is great. It cleared up my complexion and made me regular.  
 
OK, it didn't really but the traffic improvement thing is right on.

That many people reading can lead to "I hope this doesn't suck" paranoria. Try to stay one step ahead of the Brian Wilson, blogging in a sand box, in your living room, with a hand gun.

Cre8Buzz is great! Congrats on the awesome traffic stats, too! 
 
BTW, 148 referrals from assopedia.com? :grin I, of course, had to go there to see what it was because sometimes names don't give a site away. Boy, was I wrong! :eek
