2007 in review

2007 was in essence a pretty nondescript year. Gemma and I were lucky enough to travel a fair bit (Amsterdam, Seville and about 5 trips to the UK for weddings/new year). We also had a near perfect holiday in Benicassim, the principle highlights of which were seeing Iggy Pop play live and the enjoyment of a metaphysical state known only as Ginferno.

In terms of statistics, it has been 'another record breaking year' (which makes me feel like I'm at work!). One day I had about 7000 hits after a link to thebadrash was posted on the Popbitch messageboard. Unfortunately, I didn't have any ads on the site which would allow me to profit from such a large volume of traffic, so I've now prepared myself for the next spike and the inevitable river of gold which Mr. Google will give me. I also had one post which received 48 comments, a new record for the site.

Some more stats:

All in all, I had about 90,000 visits on the site which is quite a good number.

My visitors came from: USA, Spain, 'unknown', Great Britain, 'European country' and Australia (and then loads of others)

Apparently, 89% of visitors came into the site directly (via a bookmark or typing the address in)... not sure if this is true but if it is then it's very good news.

Top keyphrases: Reverend Goatboy, Most evil people in history, Max Carlish, badrash, pimp my Myspace, The Vagina Institute. Barcelona did quite well too.

2008 promises to be a fruitful and enjoyable year and I've got several big web projects in the pipeline which will, I hope, be of some interest to at least some of my visitors. We'll be back in Barna tomorrow, so there's nothing left to say except that I hope that most of you have a pleasant, safe 2008. Oh, and roll on the US elections!
