TBOTCOTW stats for November, 2003
We’re closing in on the first full year of posts here at TBOTCOTW, and I was rewarded last month with a huge spike in traffic. By most measures it was the best month ever, and I’ve no idea why. It’s not like a posted a bunch, or even posted anything all that interesting. Traffic was holding steady at about 700 visits a day and then jumped to 1,146 on the 18th and stayed over 800 for the rest of the month. Average visits per day turned out to be 800 exactly.
Totals for the month were 155,480 hits and 37,256 pageviews in 24,025 visits from 11,892 unique sites. That’s by far the most visits we’ve ever seen, and it’s the third most unique sites ever, behind only the two SFB months. The best day was the 19th with 1,361 visits from 815 sites (the 26th had 1,009 visits from 831 sites). The worst day was the 5th with 359 visits from the same number of sites.
The top five non-search engine referrers were:
1. Popdex (1,081)
2. Laughing Boy (101)
3. Walter in Denver (57)
4. The World Wide Rant (52)
5. VodkaPundit (49)
The top ten search terms were:
1. six feet under season 4 (443)
2. tmq easterbrook (320)
3. gregg easterbrook tmq (317)
4. scary pictures (225)
5. tmq (204)
6. bear trampoline (190)
7. trampoline bear (164)
8. barry bonds steroids (108)
9. matrix revolutions (102)
10. six feet under season four (100)
The search terms were a lot different this month. The TMQ/Gregg Easterbrook stuff isn’t surprising, everyone on the net was wondering where he was gonna turn up. But I’m surprised just how many people want to know about the next season of 6FU.
Hopefully December will be even better, I’d love to get 1,000 visits a day.

Hrm. Keep in mind that I visit 2-3 times per day.
And tell Beth to update more often, cuz I go there once each morning also but am so often disappointed by no updates.
Cheers to you both. Oh good lord it’s December already.
Keep in mind that’s two or three out of 800, so it’s no big deal. But obviously lots of people are doing that; I’m really happy that I get 100 to 200 more visits than unique sites.
I try to get her to blog more all the time! I’ve no control, Terry.
I promise I will blog something by week’s end.:D
Wow, what a display of blog dedication.
