A Year of BloggingHey everyone! Another year has passed and it's now 3 years since I've been blogging here on catonmat! In this post I want to summarize this year's statistics.

See the one year of blogging and two years of blogging for previous year statistics.

First of all traffic statistics,

Alright, so catonmat has received 1.43 million visitors and 2.11 million page views during this year. That's 120k visits and 175k page views per month. Or 4,000 visitors per day and 5,800 page views per day. Good numbers.

Let's look at the whole traffic picture from the day one of blogging,

Looks pretty random but seems to have a hidden linear trend upwards.

Now the FeedBurner subscriber stats,

Last year I left off with 7000 subscribers, and now I have around 12,000. That's 5000 new subscribers, or 13 new subscribers per day on average.

And the whole picture of subscriber dynamics since the beginning of blogging,

Also a nice positive trend, if it keeps going the same way, I expect to have around 17,000 subscribers the next year.

Now to articles. During this year I have written 43 articles. Here are ten most popular ones:

Here are my personal favorites that didn't make it into top ten:
