More on Getting to 35,000 Visits

I know 35,000 visits is kind of an oddball milestone to track, but I needed a random way of getting a winner for the Pulpconnection Blackout Giveaway. Anyway, it was a good run to 35,000 visits, amassing 5000 visits in a one-month time span staring in early October.

Here’s the timeline for visit milestones.

• 10,000 visits – November 2006
• 20,000 visits – May 2007 (6 months later)
• 30,000 visits – October 2007 (5 months later)
• 35,000 visits – November 2007 (1 month later)

Where did the activity come from? Let’s take a look at what Google Analytics reveal…

The biggest reason for the sudden surge of traffic was being shown on Guy Kawasaki’s Truemors site. Thanks to NOE & NEENZ of Infinity Productions, the post about Julianne Hough farting on Dancing with the Stars brought in a deluge of traffic. Thanks NOE & NEENZ! And again, thanks to all the readers addicted to passions and pulp.
