This can’t be coincidental, can it? On December 24 when the Year of ParkRat calendar was posted, Pulpconnection saw a definite spike in traffic. And this spike has lingered with visits happening on Christmas, a typically slow day.
All I can say is mahalo to ParkRat and his fan base!
Looking at Pulpconnection stats for today (Wednesday, June 24, 2015), here are my favorite search terms:
While I don’t define portague jokes, the post, 21 Slang Words You Should Know Before Visiting Hawaii, discusses haole aka howie haiwaiian mainlander.
Here’s what Pulpconnection looked like from the WordPress’ annual report for 2014. Most of the stats are personally underwhelming, but hey, it’s not about the bass, right?
See @abaggy, I told you the new BMW i3 stirs up controversy as it got the most comments on my blog this year. Oh, and thanks for being the most active Pulpconnection commenter. 😉

Taking a look at Pulpconnection stats for 2012. Here is the count of views as reported by the JetPack plugin from WordPress.com.
Ooops, sorry about that. Pulpconnection was beaten civilly (I think) by a Civil Beat tweet. There was a big spike in server resources (see that blue and red lines climb?) that made this site unresponsive.
Rebooted and now back online (kinda sorta). #becivil!
Remember that spike in Pulpconnection visits and views checking out the buttery sweetness of Starbuck’s new Toffee Mocha? Can you believe the cause of this was AOL? Yes, that oldie but goodie AOL. The one who was sending you countless CDs in the mail just a few years ago.
Even now, if you go to search.aol.com and look for “starbucks toffee mocha,” you’ll see something like this (well, except for the Yay!).
So both you and I thought racy was hot. It is… but not as hot as buttery sweetness!
Maybe it’s the hot weather, and people want something cool to drink, but I just don’t why this simple post about Starbucks new (and delicious) Toffee Mocha is blowing up right now. On a Saturday too (which are typically slow bloggy days). Maybe I’ll go out and get myself a Toffee Mocha or perhaps a SBUX PSL.
I guess what’s racy is what’s hot if today’s stats mean anything. You gotta love how random posts from the past get picked up for whatever reason. Today, a pictorial from June 2009 asking if this Victoria’s Secret facade is racy is getting a lot of views. A lot of views!
I wonder what’s so hot about this (less) racy post?
On Labor Day, the visit count to Pulpconnection hit 300,000 lifetime according to SiteMeter. That’s almost one year to the day when this site reached 200,000 visits (just one day off)!
The lucky visitor was looking up Princess Leia kicks and is a Mac user running an older version of Mac OS X.
Again, thanks to all Pulpconnection visitors, readers, followers, fans (and even haters!) who have passed through this site. Can you believe it’s been five years for this labor of pulp, passions, and addictions?
Since I can’t sleep, here’s a few more stats for Pulpconnection divined from Google Analytics.

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.
Where did the activity come from? Let’s take a look at what Google Analytics reveal…
Top performing content.
Top keywords.

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.
Just a little more details about the journey to 30000 visits from May to October 2007.
Top performing content. Stuff from 2005 still going strong.
