The Results Are In

After over a week of staring at a "Data will be available within 24 hours" message on Google Analytics, I was finally able to access our blog analysis today. Some interesting nuggets:

• We've had one international visitor (Fontainhas, Portugal)
• 43 unique visitors
• 67% of visits are from returning readers
• 1 person viewed the site from the yantra.com domain. Google cryptically added, "Russian" in parenthesis after that visitor.

So, there are a few things we can conclude from all this.

First and foremost, it's time to start turning a profit on this sucker. In the next few days, you can expect to see pop-up ads, pop-under ads, and an original kind of fund-raising where the site operators make updates while they're working on someone else's dollar. These three revenue streams should provide enough cash to allow myself and billkell to live comfortably and continue to make our car payments. If all else fails, fuck it, we're making this a warez site.

Second and secondmost, we're making serious headway into the hard-to-reach Northern Portuguese demographic. We'll exploit this by making approximately 1 out of every 3 posts in Portuguese, starting with the remainder of this one:

Todo o mundo é estágio, e todos os homens e jogadores das mulheres meramente.

Adios, zapatos.
