Where Did You Come From, Where Did You Go :: June 2008
We are already half-way through the year - can you believe that?
The first six months of the year have gone by in a flash and it is time to shine the spotlight on the top ten blogs that referred the most traffic - where did you come from - and the top ten most visited posts for the month - where did you go.
Before we get to the details, I would just like to take a moment to say that last week was a bit hectic for me as Wednesday was spent visiting with my Grandma who unfortunately passed away on Friday morning. This week brings the wake and the funeral so the posting may be a bit erratic again but I am sure all of you will understand.
Top 10 Referring Sites
- Geekologie
- Sparkplugging
- Courtney Tuttle
- 45n5.com
- Link Building Bible
- More Merchant
- Leo Chiang
- GradeMoney.com
- Stephen Fung
- Beyond the Rhetoric
While this list does not include social media sites, it was interesting to see that StumbleUpon came in at the top again and there was even a small number of visitors that came here via digg.
Do you want to know what everyone was reading once they arrived here?
Here are the top 10 visited articles from the past month, according to the statistics from Google Analytics.
Top 10 Visited Posts
- How To Record A Cellphone Conversation
- Famous People Named Derek
- Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
- Two Words About Google PageRank :: Who Cares

- Southwest Airlines :: I Love You But Bring Back The Snack Box
- Double Your Gas Mileage :: Hydrorunner
- Blogging For Money :: May 2008
While the top two visited posts are regulars on the list, I found it very interesting that five of the top ten most visited posts were from the month of June. One of the top five most visited posts was just written a few days ago - which means there has been some quality traffic coming to recent posts.
Hopefully everyone has been enjoying the content and I will continue to do my best to deliver the content that you want to see. I’d like to thank everyone for their participation and for helping make the month of June one to remember. You all are the best!
Sorry to hear about your grandma. My condolences to your family.
I think the June traffic pickup has something to do with the fact that you’re replying to all the comments. Also, you notice that tech related how-to posts invariably end up in your top 10 list?

I find it interesting that those top three are almost always at the top of the list and the top referring sites are almost all the same each month as well.

It has been a pleasure visiting and bantering in your blog. As much as you seem to have enjoyed it, so have I. Thank you too.
Is there a plugin of some sort that you use to determine the top 10 most visited posts or simply old fashioned going through stats?

I often check to see which websites are our blog’s top referrers too. In fact that’s how I discovered the Link Building Bible. Great site.. it has taught me a great deal about how to better link build.

BTW, I’m sorry to hear of your loss.

I’m sorry to hear about your recent death. I lost a loved one and I know how hard it can be.
Hopefully things will pickup. I’m sure as they redo page rankings, traffic will increase. Best Wishes.
It’s never easy losing a loved one, but she’s in a much better place without you. I mean . . . she’s in a much better place.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother Derek. My parents divorced when i was just 2 years old and i was raised by my grandmother. So i know just how special grandmothers are.
Wow, you are getting a lot of traffic from Link Building Bible, which is my friend’s website. Looks like his dofollow search engine is doing a lot more referring than I suspected.
Congratulations to you Derek for you have plenty of visitors every month reading your blog.
All, thanks for the thoughts and condolences on the loss of my grandma.
You have my condolences, Derek (and family). I hope everyone is doing well.
