Stats are publicly available at SiteMeter, Quantcast, and ClustrMaps.
Here is the year one traffic run-down:
54,000+ visits = 150 per day. 20% from returning visitors.
81,000+ page views = 222 per day = 1.5 page views per visit. 22% from returning visitors.
Average time on site = 1:11. 2:15 for returning visitors.
Roughly 1,075 hours spent on the site (= 45 days), and probably more than double that spent in feed readers.
255 feed subscribers = 1 new subscriber every 1.4 days.
And feed item use was as follows:
Visitors came from all over the place...
...But mostly from the US.
...Particularly from North Carolina and the Raleigh-Durham area.
36% of visits came from a Google search, and an additional 10% came from a Google images search. 11% came directly to the site, 7% from Google Reader, and 4% from Marginal Revolution.
The most viewed pages were the home page, the March archive, Overnight shipments visualization (Marginal Revolution referral), 3D population density map, Q & A with Tyler Cowen (Marginal Revolution referral), Directory of Indian buffets in the Triangle, Megacities world map, Traffic barrel monster artist arrested, Tax rates by country, Facebook growth chart, and NFL wildcat formation.
Can you tell I like traffic stats? I try not to be narcissistic about it, but I am a little. Sue me.
