When I moved this blog and podcast site from the Google hosting over to the WordPress hosting, the site visit count started over (we had about 250 pre-conference). Since this site was launched on April 9, 2007 we’ve had over 1,200 visitors. You can view a map of the site visitors here. I’m not exactly sure why this is the case, but the number of site visitors on the map do not match the number of site visitors reported by WordPress; it could be in part because the “days” are not the same, the map’s starts at midnight and WordPress’ starts around 7 pm EST. With a little research, I’ve decided that WordPress is the more accurate reporting.
As you can see, site visits drop off during the weekend. I can also see the sites that are referring traffic to our site, so far the link on the SfAA website (Thanks Neil!), Savage Minds, Anthropologi.info, and emails are send the most traffic – so thank you to ALL of the bloggers and the folks that have helped to spread the word via email!
Also, don’t forget to check out the Buzz Around the Web page to see what folks are saying about the project. Feel free to leave a comment too.
