The Site is One Week Old – Here Are The Stats
The official launch of this site was February 11th 2008. We marked the launch of the site with a free ipod contest. It’s still going on so be sure to sign up and with a Free 60 GB video ipod.
I want to be very open about this site. I will disclose traffic numbers, revenue goals and actual revenue creation, etc… Very few sites will be this open about their sites. I want this to be a community site so I feel this is the necessary path to take.
The site has been live for one full week!! So, prior to the sites official launch almost all stats/numbers where at zero. The site would get (maybe) one visitor every other day. I assume they were just typing in the domain name.
On with the numbers…

Over all, not a bad first week. This week I will continue to promote the site and find new sources of traffic.
I am committed to doing a monthly “site stats†wrap up but not a weekly one. I may or may not do one next week. Stay tuned.
