how Search Engine Land has grown in various ways over the year. Let's dive in!
First, how about a chart:
That's the number of visits to the site over the past year. I'll do another

Search Engine Land: Top Stories & Stats, Jan. 16, 2007
Jan 17, 2007 at 8:02am ET by Danny Sullivan
Time for another
daily stats review, since yesterday was our second busiest ever non-Digg
day. Below a look at the top stories that sent us traffic, along with tips and
suggestions on how you might do the same.
Google No Longer
Linking To Yahoo, MapQuest Maps was our top story, with about 1,000 views.
Most people came from
Techmeme, about 400 in all. Google keyword searches sent about 100 visitors,
with terms like Yahoo and
MapQuest
seeming to send them from Google News. Then smaller chunks of 10-20 visitors
came from places like

Search Engine Land: Top Stories & Stats, Jan. 10, 2007
Jan 11, 2007 at 7:33am ET by Danny Sullivan
Back again with a daily stats and traffic review for Search Engine Land. When
I did the first one
yesterday, I warned this wouldn't be a daily activity. But we had another record
traffic day, including making the Delicious home page. That's going to make for
some nice comparison to Digg traffic for a future post. In the meantime, here's
are the top stories yesterday on Search Engine Land and what drove traffic to
them, as well as some tips on Google Analytics and analytics from FeedBurner.
Before I dive into the stories, just a quick tip on what I'm doing, which may
be helpful to other Goo [...]

Search Engine Land: Top Stories & Stats, Jan. 9, 2007
Jan 10, 2007 at 7:18am ET by Danny Sullivan
Earlier I did a
review of traffic stats for Search Engine Land in December 2006. Today, I'm
looking at what happened on the site yesterday, in terms of most popular
stories. I can't promise to do this every day. But doing a daily stats review is
part of my regular routine, and it helps me keep track of what drove traffic
when I do a monthly review as well. So here's yesterday on Search Engine Land,
looking at our top stories and what made them pop.
Google Named
Fortune's Best Place To Work, But Rich Early Employees Checking Out had
about 900 unique page views, our top page. Most of those cam [...]

Search Engine Land: December 2006 Statistics Review
Jan 8, 2007 at 11:00am ET by Danny Sullivan
As promised,
here's the first in regular monthly updates on how Search Engine Land is
growing. I hope the traffic statistics look will be both interesting to the curious
and informative about how various places can turn into traffic generators.
For December 2006, we had about 93,000 page views, or about 4,400 page views
per day. Actually, those are "AdViews," the number of times ads were shown as
reported by our ad serving software. We only began showing ads from December 11
onward, so I have to turn to our Google Analytics statistics to talk about the entire
month. Let's dive into [...]
