Each year I post a yearly traffic report showing the sites that sent me the most traffic. I also give thanks to my fellow bloggers who sent me traffic and list the top posts and keywords.
In 2012, I had over 1 million unique visitors and over 2.4 million pageviews! In 2011, I had 789,539 unique visitors and 1.9 million pageviews. I’m happy to see my traffic growing.

Cool! I want to do this, too!
Wow what a great year for you!! I hope my blog grows as big as yours
Did you use GA for your data or another stat counter?
I only use GA.
Stacie, how did you discover your top 10 referring blogs? I don’t see that on GA, or perhaps I’m overlooking. It’s such a great idea to share this. Thanks for sharing yours!
Its under Traffic Sources then click Referrals.
Thanks!
Way To Go, Stacie! You are simply an inspiration for all bloggers. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge. Best wishes for 2013!
I hope to one day be in your top referring blog list!
Happy new year!
I linked up…although my numbers do not come anywhere close to yours! lol
You were also a top referring blog for Planet Weidknecht! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing and being a help to those of us trying to grow our blogs. I’ve shared my post and linked up and am now looking forward to 2013.
I need to look over my traffic stats and figure out my top referring sites so that I can try to improve it for next year!
What a great idea!! I too have linked my report. I am soooo not ready to share numbers though.
Great to have to compare to next year. Here’s to great growth in 2013!
Great job this year! I am just hitting the three month mark for this blog. It’s great to see you moving up!
You had a great year! Excited to see Giveaway Promote made your top 10 referring blogs. Hope you have a fantastic New Year!
Whoo hoo! Love reading your traffic reports and love even more than Just Sweep made it! Very cool indeed! Happy New Year!
You are the Queen, amazing stats Stacie!! While mine looks quite pathetic in comparison, I had a lot of fun checking them out too!. Even though I don’t quite understand some of my traffic sources…lol… it was very interesting and full of surprises!
I’ve linked up, thanks!
Thanks for the inspiration!! I posted my stats
