Been a Great Year For Readers Thanks Guys

You know I haven’t really posted any traffic statistics for this site in quite a while. Actually the last one I posted was probably all the way back in 2007 when I was happy to hit my first 5000 Page views. Well this blog is going on 1.5 years now, and I’m currently on track to hit about 250k page views/year again this year which I didn’t think I would achieve soo soon. I just want to give a big thank you to all of you guys who hung in there with me these last few months.
It seems like my Alexa ranking took a huge hit ever since I dropped that Entrecard widget a little while back. It did give me a pretty good boost in traffic for a while, and some long term readership. However over all it was more work than benefit really. Quite surprisingly the traffic to the site is higher now than it was before yet, the Alexa ranking for this site is considerably lower now. What perplexes me to this day is that my account is still accruing Entrecard credits even though I have no widget posted, and the fact that my widget is not accepting new adverts.
My Google Page rank decided to come back up again from a 1 to a measly 2. The cuprit for this one is the wide linking to of the Warhammer Tome Tactics Guide.
The most popular page besides that one would be the 214k Gold limit for World of Warcraft. Which to this day still receives quite a few visitors from StumbleUpon. Many thanks to those of you who gave those pages a thumbs up.
Also another thanks to all the guys from MIT, and Texas A&M who seem to be the majority of readers who come back on a consistent basis, and in bulk.

Congrats on your stats. Although you haven’t been on blog for some time, it seems the hard work from past is showing results now, and it will surely stay residual as you’ve made some really quality ones.

Congratulations! This is a really wonderful feeling and I know by myself. I made two blogs and I am very forward to success.
Is Alexa considered a commonly accepted bellwether on the stats of a blog or website? I have heard that the biggest criticism of the data that comes from Alexa is predicated on users having the Alexa toolbar installed.
