I thought some of you might be interested in seeing where my traffic came from in 2011, and which were the most popular posts.

I’ll tell you right now though that I won’t be divulging actual traffic numbers (though maybe I should have saved that piece of info ’til the end, to improve my “time on site” stats!)

I’ll gladly announce that my age is 34, and I would be open to revealing my weight (although I am under the impression that a thin woman sharing her weight is not seen as helpful). I will not, however, tell exactly how much traffic I get, because I don’t want to be compared to anyone else! My blog continues to grow in readers (my visits increased 250% from 2010 to 2011), subscribers, Google follower, and Twitter followers, and for someone with a full-time-plus job away from blogging, I have to be satisfied with that.

Traffic Sources:

#1 Google (organic)
#2 Direct
#3 Win-Free-Stuff.ca

If other bloggers have done similar traffic posts, feel free to leave the links below. I’d love to check them out!

And on a final note to the several people who have asked me how my posts can be e-mailed out at 9 a.m. when I’m supposed to be teaching: they are preprogrammed!! I usually have my posts set to go on at 8 a.m., and I have my Feedburner settings such that my e-mail subscribers receive them shortly after 9 a.m., when I am diligently working with my students!
