As promised, now that a full calendar year has gone by, it's time to look at some key stats about 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 version of that chart further below and call out what caused some of those spikes.

Search Engine Land: January 2007 Statistics Review

It's somewhat silly, given that any site that carries advertising often reveals this information in their media kit anyway. With Search Engine Land being all new, a virtual restart for me, I thought it would be fun to share site stats on the site each month, to talk about how it hopefully grows.
