It’s been quite a trippy month on the Saunderslog. Midway through the month I wrote a short piece on the Mosquito Ringtone, which has catapulted traffic into the stratosphere (or, at least, what I consider to be the stratosphere).
- Today I’ve passed 150,000 visitors.
- At around 900,000 page hits for the month, and averaging more than 30,000 per day, there’s a good chance that this could be the first million page hit month.
- Heaviest traffic day recorded was the 22nd, after the Mosquito RingtoneÂstory was covered in Japan, and Saunderslog was mentioned. 12,476 visitors, and over 150,000 hits. On the 22nd, I transferred nearly 5G of traffic.
It’s been a wild ride. The effect on my pocketbook has been nice too. I’ve passed $700 in ad revenue, which is a little more than 7x a regular month.
Thanks to all my readers (especially the Japanese ones!).
