Site Statistics: November 2008

December 11, 2008 · Filed Under Random · Comments 

Well, things have pretty much settled back down this month.  I am not getting the traffic that I was back in August/September.  I am still getting visitors, however, and for that I am quite thankful!

It has been a struggle lately to keep my head above water on this site.  I have dropped down from five posts a week to three in the hopes of getting back on track.  Alas, I am still quite busy with other projects (that make more $ than blogging currently does) and family life and still haven’t been able to get ahead on this.  I will keep trying…maybe next month!!

One exciting thing for BFN is that I am tantalizingly close to hitting 100 RSS subscribers!  It jumps around from day to day but I am hoping it will stabilize above 100.  Then I can put one of those feedburner dealies that show how many subscribers you currently have (I’ve decided to not post one until I hit triple digits).

Again, I’d like to give a big "thank you" to all of those in the blogosphere that have been referring traffic my way.  I appreciate it greatly.  Hopefully I am sending traffic back your way as well.

My top 10 referrers (is that a word?) this month:

  1. Bible Money Matters
  2. ChristianPF
  3. Gather Little By Little
  4. FinansAdrian – Mot rikedom (It’s good he reads English because I surely can’t read Swedish – and I’m not even sure it’s Swedish)
  5. The Passive Dad
  6. Spilling Buckets
  7. Engineer a Debt Free Life
  8. Free Money Finance
  9. One Caveman’s Financial Journey
  10. The Apostle of the Turtle

Top 10 posts for the month:

  1. Warren Buffet’s 10 Ways to Get Rich
  2. 45 Ways to Earn Some Extra Money
  3. Preparing for Black Friday via BlackFriday.GottaDeal.com
  4. Making Money Spotlight: Using CashCrate to Earn Some Extra Money
  5. Biblical Financial Lesson from the Book of Acts
  6. The Bible and The Bard Agree on this Financial Principle
  7. Politics: An Historic Result
  8. Is Giving Really that Important?
  9. Where’s My Bailout?!?!
  10. The Lesser of Two Evils: Determining Which Loan to Pay off First

Interestingly, most of the most popular posts this month were written months ago.  Numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8 are showing great staying power, I guess.  Now I just have to focus on knocking them down with better posts…

Amidst the preparations for Christmas and the holidays that mark the end of the year and kick off the beginning of 2009, I hope that you are able to enjoy the last few weeks of 2008.

God bless…

    Wow, how did you have so many visitors those first couple of months? It has dropped off a lot since then. My blog is new as well (newer than yours), but I haven’t seen anywhere close to the kind of traffic you had at first. What was your secret? ;)

    @Paul – I actually was very fortunate and one of my early posts (45 Ways to earn some extra money) became quite popular on StumbleUpon. That drove a large (for me!) amount of traffic for a few months. Alas, it was no secret formula…just some good fortune!

    Ah, ok. Well congrats, and I hope you hit 100 subscribers soon!

    @Elias – thanks for the well wishes! FYI – you have one more subscriber now!

    Hey I just found your website from GatherLittlebyLittle. I’m enjoying backreading the posts. I just started blogging and I enjoy it very much, though I still have a great deeal to learn. And finding the time to consistently post is a big problem. Hopefully 2009 will be a great year for all of us.

    @Travis – thanks for the kind words. Good luck with your blog – it looks good so far! Happy New Year!
