Checkin’ The Stats

Another month has passed, and the smell of fall is in the air.

Scumbags in Turkey tried to bring down the site, to no avail, but otherwise it was just another ordinary September.

Let’s take a look at the stats.

The top 10 referring blogs (other than Technorati) for August were:

Insignificant Thoughts
Information Salad
Radio Blogger
Musing Minds
The Soda Stand
Super Geek’s 27
GM’s Corner
Pundit Review
PoliBlog
Electric Venom

The top 10 search terms that brought people here in September were:

free passwords (haha gotcha again!)
hamachi service (highly recommended)
eva bryan (congrats on your wedding)
troy gentry (bear hunter)

The busiest day of the week was Wednesday. The busiest time of day was 2:00pm EST, and the busiest day of the month was the 13th.
