Checkin' The Stats!

For the first time in three months, I am posting the monthly stats on a nice sunny day.

May is upon us already. Before you know it we'll be counting down the days until Christmas.

Let's take a look at the stats for April.

The top 10 referring blogs (other than Technorati and Blog Explosion) for April were:

The Soda Stand
The Jason Calacanis Weblog
Dakota Today
Flopping Aces
Musing Minds
My Blog Is About Nothing
Insignificant Thoughts

Electric Venom

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

lunsford act (protect our children)
free passwords (haha gotcha again!)
michael waltrip accident (zzz)

The top three search engines sending traffic my way were Google, Yahoo! and AOL. (MSN dropped out of the top three for the second time).

The busiest day of the week was Friday. The busiest time of day was 11:00am EDT, and the busiest day of the month was the 23rd.
