Blogger Meetup, Top Referrers and LinkStuff For June 15

by Mike on June 15, 2009

Saturday night I had the pleasure of meeting Preet from Where Does All My Money Go -  he and Mr. Cheap came over for some Thai food and a few beers.  It was a lot of fun and hopefully we’ll do it again soon.

Top referrers and stats

May was a pretty big month for this site – over 100,000 unique visitors and over 200,000 pageviews.  Unfortunately those numbers probably won’t happen again for a while but it is still pretty good.

Top referrers for May

Something wrong with your link to CCapitalist, FYI.

Wow, those are impressive traffic numbers. BTW, the link to the safe deposit box post should be:

Thanks for pointing it out, Guinness416!

100k visits is nice! Is that mostly stimulus traffic still?

5 the weakonomist June 15, 2009 at 9:37 pm

Who’s the best? For this week it’s this guy <———

Thanks for the link Mike.

Thanks everyone – my capable assistant fixed the CC link – sorry about that error.

Those are a great numbers. Congrats.

I got a kick out of Kyle using the term “stimulus traffic.” Apparently the government is handing out website traffic as well as cash!

CPS – haha, thanks.

I thought the traffic was because of the brilliant writing of Mr. cheap and I but you’re right – it’s just a handout. :)

Very impressive traffic numbers. I think your blog does well because it covers a lot of different areas (personal finance, investing, savings).
