DALANEL Stats: September 2013

As I said in my review of August, I would keep track of each month going forward. September has ended and now is the time to look back at the site’s performance. To start us off, overall views were barely more than August so it was a good month. Not like I had less views. I had less visitors than August though. Yeah. Less people; more traffic. To be clear, visitor would be one person. This one person can click on several things. July is still number one so that’s my goal.

  1. United States
  2. Australia
  3. Canada
  4. United Kingdom
  5. Germany

Where in the love, man!? Most of my Facebook following is family and friends vs online acquaintances on other sites. Anyway, I’m going to break down the search engine:
