IPWatchdog.com Statistics for March 2009

I am pleased to report that March 2009 was the best month in terms of traffic since IPWatchdog.com went live in October 1999. It is hard to believe we are closing in on our 10th birthday, but all is well, good and growing, which is nice indeed. In any event, here are the numbers:

As you can see from the picture above, we had over 69,000 unique visitors in March 2009, with over 153,000 visits, which is a 50% increase over February 2009, and over 100% increase from January 2009. The growth in the number of visits is thanks to many of you who have taken the time to contribute by posting comments and building a rich environment for the exchange of ideas. We don’t always agree, but I do appreciate all those who have taken the time to chime in and I encourage others to do the same.

Each of the top 13 blog post (by traffic) for March 2009 had more than 1,000 views, with the top post receiving 14,546 views. In order the top posts for the month of March were:

I also appreciate those who link to IPWatchdog.com and send us traffic. The top 30 refering sites from March 2009 were (excluding several websites I own):

Thanks Jasper. I appreciate your reading IPWatchdog.com.

Things are starting to really take off rapidly. I have been putting in a lot of time over the years, and lately things have started to grow in a big way. I remember back in the Fall of 2002 I was only getting like 10,000 visitors a month. That is a lot of visitors, but between then and August of 2008 visitors grew to between 27,000 to 33,000 a month. Since September growth has been enormous, and particularly since November 2008.

I will definitely not forget the little guys! It is the little guys who drive the engine of innovation in the US, and I am happy to be a part of helping folks sensibly and responsibly.

Thanks again.
