Another month of amazing community popularity growth. Forty percent increase over last month!

Posts down again, which is surprising given the huge growth in views.

I haven't been that active, which is why. Sucks not having a desk job...

Great numbers, that's wonderful. Good to see the community doing so well. That is a lot of growth.

Here is the breakdown so far this year. Sadly, we don't have numbers from January because the platform did not report them yet at that time. So we have only been collecting since February which happened to be a boom month too, so we start rather high compared to what it had been before that (we think.)

Feb 445725
Mar 516573
Apr 339904
May 435155
Jun 498262
Jul 700480 

Pretty much we had a late February spike that went into March, that's when we were hitting the 10,000 views an hour rates because of traffic coming in from other sources. It was an extremely abnormal spike over a one to two week period and makes those first two months' total numbers misleading as far as how are overall average traffic growth should have looked. If we had numbers going back several more months the belief is that the growth would look mostly steady. The numbers since April are more realistic and show the organic portion of the growth.

Pretty decent jump from 498,262 to 700,480.

Still - Impressive numbers. Do you have any of this data from last year as a year to year comparison?

[scottalanmiller]

Sadly no, that is all of the numbers that we have. The platform did not report figures until February.

[gjacobse]

Well, happens. Can't have it all. Sometimes it's not available since not a feature.

[scottalanmiller]

This is looking great, this is a current number...

Another 20% increase in daily traffic!!
