The web site statistics for my presence in bloglandia have increased quite a bit since January 2007. Prior to September 2006 I was primarily blogging at my Oregon State University web account. I transitioned the OSU account over to ericstoller.com in September. Web statistics for September 2006 to January 2007 were fairly consistent: 2,000+ Unique Visits and about 4,000 Page Views.
In February 2007 I made a few search engine optimization tweaks and had referral links from sites with significant traffic. I’ve been getting 5,000+ Unique Visits and 7,500+ Page Views for the last four months. Organic Google searches represent the biggest piece of my site stats pie. I’m not sure if I can double my site stats every four months, but it would be kind of neat if I could.
I’m still using StatCounter and Google Analytics for my web statistics information.
The most popular posts on my blog are:
- Glacéau + Racist Voicemail Message: Glaceau is now owned by Coca-Cola and apparently they still feel the need to produce racist advertising.
- Racism bothers me too: My take on how the media does not portray racism as something that should bother white people.
- Free (United Airlines) ticket voucher: A lot of people are checking this link as they search for information on how to use a United Airline ticket voucher. I think it requires the assistance of MacGuyver.
- Minor mac mistake musing: Consumerist posted the gripping tale of my customer service experience at the J.W. Marriott in Washington, DC.
- Lakota Woman: I reviewed Mary Crow Dog’s book for my Ethics of Diversity class.
- Line Rider: Trading Lines and .Sol’s: Vegankid and I experimented (briefly) in trying to bring a social experience to the Line Rider game.
- Competency 9: Multicultural awareness, knowledge and skills: This is one of the essays from my Higher Education portfolio.
- “White privilege shapes the U.S.”: One of my first posts to generate a lot of discussion/comments.
- The Common Elements of Oppressions: Suzanne Pharr’s informative text on oppression.
- My new job: I start working at my new job next month!
Wow! Congratulations and keep up the good work - hope you will still have time now that you’ll be busy with your new job!
Mr. Popular
That’s really cool that you get so much traffic. Too bad you didn’t set this up to make money off it (or did you…) jk.
It was wonderful to see you at the wedding. Sorry I didn’t see much of you. I think I was feeding Maya when you left
If only I had the opportunity to make you dance. People really started to get down - limbo and all! I’m sure you would have done great at that!
Come visit sometime. I’ll prepare something for you with the best knives ever! You are something else

MM: I’m trying to flood my site with posts before I start my new job
T: I tried to monetize my site for a little while. I didn’t get enough traffic to earn anything measurable so I took the ads off of the site. I’m glad you were feeding Maya. It kept me from dancing
Yes, I am known far and wide for my unbelievable limbo skills.
We hope you and S enjoy the knives. We have the same 7 inch wustof santoku. It’s amazing! It’s like a lightsaber but without the cauterization.
I would ditch the free cutting board that came with the knife though. It’s not very robust. I prefer the Epicurean brand of boards. They are lightweight and indestructible.
