4012 RSS Readers, 776,887 Visitors & 1,183,126 Page Views
Blogstorm is around 18 months old and I wanted to post some details on how 2008 has been.
We started in June 2007 and now have just over 4000 RSS readers. In terms of traffic 2008 has seen the blog get over 1.1 million page views from 776,887 unique visitors.
The traffic this year isn’t actually very high when you consider in just 6 months of 2007 we got 823,000 page views and 569,000 unique visitors. The difference is easy to explain – in 2007 it was possible to get a blog onto the front page of Digg whenever you wanted. In 2008 it isn’t.
The most popular post was this one with 106,000 page views, even without a Digg front page.
Have a good Christmas & thanks for reading!

That’s awesome stats for a UK based blog. The increase in RSS subscribers hints that the content you post is both factual, topic specific, educational and adopts a mass appeal. All the best for 2009.
Congrats Patrick. That’s some good stats and for a location based SEO blog, these stats are great.
Congratulations Patrick!
And thanks – we got a lot of great tips from you over the past year
Congratulations! Your blog is one of the few ‘must-read’ blogs in my Bloglines subs.
Keep up the great work.
Congratulations Patrick, great stats for such a relatively new blog. I’m sure there’s lots of clever SEO behind the scenes, but it’s the great content that keeps me coming back regularly. Merry Christmas!
Cheers, Jon
I’ll be honest mate, I read the site direct from the RSS feed 99% of the time – so if you take that into account you’ve got a fair few more readers, I’d say.
Say 2000 of your RSS readers do that, and visit 2 or 3 times per week – that’s another 312,000 visits a year, maybe 500,000 page views.
Blogstorm is around 18 months old but have 4012 RSS Readers, 776,887 Visitors & 1,183,126 Page Views. I think it is very good result. This big storm of blogger.
Congratulations ! Your blog is really interesting and the stats are great, especially that I’m sure you don’t spend very much with posting / promoting it and everything it’s natural.
That is really an amazing achievement Patrick. Congrats and there is a long way to go buddy.
Spot on about Digg. Spring 2006 now seems like a Halcyon time to launch a website in retrospect, despite it feeling so competitive at the time.
Wonder what we’ll think in another 18 months?
Congrats on the audience!
