It’s funny how time flies. It was roughly a year ago that I lost my job at G4tv due to assorted idiocy. Things have been crazy and challenging since then. Whether I was up or down, you guys have been there to keep me company. I’m so honored by your support, Amazon purchases, site donations, and readership. Thanks for hanging out! Now let’s get to some odds and ends.
– Traffic was down in August since I was working on that super secret project. It really took a dive when I was in Asia. Things have picked back up, but my Alexa ranking — which is based on he last three months of traffic — has taken a massive hit. If you happen to be using a new computer or if you just haven’t gotten around to it, I’d super appreciate you installing the Alexa toolbar (And visiting my site a lot. Ha!).
– Next week is the site’s first birthday! There are numerous improvements and additions planned for the next year. Some of the stuff you’ll see soon. Other things will take a little longer. Here’s a hint — it looks like I’ll finally be able to put the “tv” in RPad.tv!
– Facebook has been a great source of traffic over the last few months. Thanks to everyone that posts my stories on “the Facebook”! In the site’s first six months, Twitter was a much greater source of traffic than Facebook. The last six months Facebook has been more beneficial.
– Mobile traffic has been great ever since I launched the phone-friendly version of the site. I’ll leave you with the site’s top five mobile platforms:
- iPhone
- Android
- iPad
- BlackBerry
- Symbian
i'd like to feel responsible for the ipad traffic.
Love hanging out here…wouldn't wanna be anywhere else on the net! Thanks for running the site and giving us a place to hang out together.
Wow thats funny that you mentioned putting the tv in Rpad.tv that was one of my last thoughts last night. I can’t wait to see what you have in store because I already love this site.
we should all be regional correspondants for rpad.tv
you wouldnt even have to pay us
Remember that thing I wrote about Facebook being more beneficial to traffic than Twitter over the last few months? Cliffy B flipped the switch. Traffic has been great the last two days, largely because he tweeted one of my articles. I love that guy.
