After everything G did for Firefox? Chrome/FF cartoon
I think I’ll stick with K-Meleon. Just added a macro that means I can search multiple sites as easily as Google (google images, wikipedia, youtube, facebook, ebay).
August 2008 stats
Every couple of months I make a post outlining monthly traffic levels to my multiple websites so I can see how things have changed - for me this is interesting as I do not often look at the traffic levels of my smaller sites.
There have been a few changes to the sites included - GameMaker.tv has gone, and GameMaker8.com and MyGMGame.com have been added.
Game Maker Affiliation Service

GameMaker Blog (blog only, NOT gma)

Still quite a bit of month on month variation.
Stencyl
Unique visitors: 404
Pageviews: 765
Remaining fairly constant and I am not surprised given there has been no public progress of Stencyl. Once Stencyl is released I am hoping to get more traffic both from type-ins and searches.

Up quite a bit which is pretty amazing, have also actually had - heaven forbid - some comments!

Still growing. Has quite a few topical search terms - e.g. for the motor show, funfair etc. Very few links in, but one from an Audi dealer that was at the motor show.

Have hardly done any work to this free file hosting website.

What a traffic grab! The domain only cost me $4 thanks to a tip-off from Robin Monks. The site simply features an RSS feed on posts from GMB, and 3 small ProjectWonderful adverts. To be fair I did modify the minimal textual content at the top of the page to try and tap into some more traffic - and it worked!

Down from 2 months ago - traffic obviously peaked long ago, unless of course the site gets picked up at another forum or football website.

Domain expires soon and I will let it die.

Current affairs = traffic?
Does blogging about real-world news and events mean extra traffic? Apparently so.
Looking at my traffic stats for freeg131, the most popular page is the one about the most successful olympic nation per capita - 6 of the top 10 search terms used to find this site where people looking for this information.
Also bringing in traffic are searches regarding Ian Oakley (story summed up here), other Olympic queries and a recent MasterCard advert.
As far as getting web traffic content certainly is king, if you build it they will come (etc etc). However I don’t think it is worth writing numerous current affairs posts per day in the hope of grabbing more traffic - especially not here on my personal blog.
Olympic Taekwondo
In Taekwondo, or dancing around and rarely doing anything, you can kick people in the head. But not the referee.

ecoBradford
On the way back from a holiday in Yorkshire we drove through Bradford city centre.
I spotted two eco-firsts. A 2+ lane on the motorway (car share lane) and wind turbines and solar panels on the top of council tower blocks.
Interesting. Now build more……
