Hongkietown.com has been live for just over a month, but I didn’t get Google Analytics going until December 1st.  Reviewing my month end report, the results are surprising and gratifying.

Special note to other Hong Kong bloggers:  please read down to the end of this post for a special message.

Special note to potential advertisers:  please read down to the end of this post for a special message.

Last year I wrote a total of 681 blog posts.  This is not a group blog, there are no “substitute Spikes,” this is all the work of one person (who, admittedly, has a lot of time on his hands these days.)

In December, 2009:

Just under 35,000 page views

Over 10,000 unique visits by 2,400 visitors from 55 countries.

  • 51.3% from Hong Kong
  • 21.2% from the USA
  • 6% from the UK
  • 1.5% from China

An average of 3.36 page views per visit.

54.75% coming here directly, 39% coming here from links on other sites, the rest coming from search engines.  (84.64% of those coming via a search engine came from Google.)

39% using IE, 34% using Firefox.

This was the most popular individual post in the past month.  The Links page remains extremely popular – which is why I’m working on expanding my links listings.

Note to other bloggers:  I know that you’re a huge reason for the good numbers above.  I sincerely appreciate everyone who links to me and especially those who updated their links to my new domain.  You may have noticed that on my HK Links page, I have separated those links into three different groups, the first being those who have linked to me.

I’d like to further highlight your site.  So if you do link to me and you have a small logo or banner for your blog, I’ll display it along with your listing on this page.  Just send it to me at hongkietown at gmail dot com.

If you link to me and I don’t have you including in my links, first of all I’m sorry!  Second, please send me an email or leave a comment here and I’ll take care of it ASAP.

Note to potential advertisers:  As the saying goes, if you’re here, the chances are good that your customers are here as well.  If you’d like to show support for this blog by placing an ad, please send me an email at hongkietown at gmail dot com and let’s discuss it!

And to everyone else, thank you for your support, your comments, your constructive criticisms and brickbats.  It’s really important to me.
