I think search engines fuel a lot of blog traffic, especially searches for images. I have one image of a bird, not even a real bird (Kevin from the film ‘Up’) – I swear its responsible for 20% of my page views. Nice to know people are coming to me for my ideas and good prose

We averaged around 2500/day after we left Sb, then dropped down to roughly 1000/day. Then they must have pulled the plug on May 1st 2009 we dropped from 951 on 4/29 to 387 on 4/30 to 0 on 5/1 and have stayed there since. We left Sb August 2008.

I think what is interesting is that the traffic is for images rather than content. I wonder if the same holds true for Chris & Carl’s old blogs.

this is no surprise. i think the loom & the intersection still draw lots of search traffic too.
