Monthly Renewal: January 2009
So, well, there are a few of these missing. Ahem.
It's a new year, and 10stripe has been busy. When we're not recapping the entire year for you, we're giving you shopping advice. And efforts to dramatically expand the Big Processor Guide are rumbling along as usual. The holidays slowed down the normal publishing schedule for a while, but it should be (mostly) back on track now.
"Mostly" because there are some large projects coming down the pipe, and those have a way of interfering with the normal schedule. As already mentioned, the Big Processor Guide is getting much bigger. Another, brand-new Big Guide is also on the way. And the visual layout of the site is due for another overhaul (but nothing too dramatic).
Since this is a new year, how about a few notes on the past year? Average daily traffic at the end of 2008 was roughly twice average daily traffic at the end of 2007, mainly on the back of increased Google traffic. A little boost from the German Wikipedia didn't hurt, either. The distribution of traffic changed quite a bit, as well: where the site's main index page was once the most popular on the site, it's no longer in the top 5. The most popular? The Quick PCI-Express 2.0 Guide, again mostly due to Google traffic. And whether you noticed it or not, we added a number of new items to the Bookshelf ad system to keep the repetition down.
Here's to an eventful 2009!
