Voyageek First Month

The first Voyageek article was published a month ago. 30 days is a very short time, but it is still interesting to share some data around where the traffic came from and what kind of browsers readers used.

In these 30 days, the blog got 532 visits and 1105 page views. The average time on the site was 02:32.

7 posts were published and got 33 comments (30 of them on Top 50 Travel Twitterers you should follow)

USA

  • 44 % of the visits came from the US, followed by Ireland, the UK, France and Australia.

Firefox

  • 67 % of the visitors used Firefox (Yeah!). 15% used Internet Explorer, 8% Chrome and 7% Safari.

Reffering Sites

  • The traffic came from reffering sites (58 %), direct traffic (31%) and Search Engines (11%)

Social Media

  • Stumbleupon (15% of the traffic) and Twitter (13%) both brought more traffic than Google (7%).

I wish all of you all the best for 2009.

The Power of Twitter

I launched Voyageek last Thursday. The blog had only one article and the set up was not finished (I still have to figure out how to redirect voyageek.com to voyageek.com/blog for example). But I decided to share the link on Twitter… and got a first hand experience at something going viral. The link was retweeted, the original post got heavily commented, and the article ended up being republished on the travel industry publication Travolution ! I couldn’t imagine a better start. This is very encouraging.
