Last year my goal was to up my presence (whatever that means) and I think I accomplished that. Traffic was increasing steadily month by month. I still have to do some stat digging to see where the increase came from. I’ve never posted my stats before, but it’s not really a secret anyway. Click the image to get a bigger version.

I had a few crazy blips of traffic thanks to my Lululemon warehouse post and Boxing Day. They are pretty visible in the graph. I wish webstats could give me an age range too.
