250,000 hits
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008This site has now had 250,000 over the last 2 years or so. That’s a really small amount of hits compared to some sites that get way more than that in a single day, but I’m proud of that number
I track “old-skool” hits, not unique visitors or any of that fancy stuff, and probably a few thousand of the hits are mine from testing out site changes!
I basically don’t do any marketing for this site except for having a link to it in my form signatures and relying on google. There are a few links to it from other sites, but nothing special. I make some money from Adsense, but nothing to write home about, and I make more from affiliate games sales and direct sales of my own games. I could market the site a lot more and probably make some reasonable money from it, but my main job is writing games and the site is just a “web-presence”, as you hear people say. If I was to spend more time on my site, my game programming would suffer so I stick to what I’m best at for now. Actually, ideally I’d love to delegate the running of the site to someone who can really turn it into something good…
