Hey all,

Just want to say a big thank you for vis­it­ing our site! We hit a few mile­stones in the last week and we’re stoked that so many seem so inter­ested in what we are up to. These numbers are all firsts for OutThereSomewhere.ca:

• 100 posts
• 400 com­ments
• 1500 visits (in last 30 days)
• 5500 pageviews (in last 30 days)

That spike on the graph above rep­res­ents 98 visits on a single day, which is the highest we’ve seen (June 19, 2010). The right-most point on the graph rep­res­ents 47 visits, which is about our daily average. We’ve had vis­it­ors from 59 coun­tries in the past 30 days, and from 89 coun­tries during the blog’s life­time. We’ve had over 2,000 unique vis­it­ors since the blog’s debut in January.

Here are our visitor stats over the past six months:

The steady climb of vis­it­ors is very encour­aging to us.

These aren’t exactly mega stats, com­pared to many web­sites, but for a modest little travel blog they’re pretty good. It seems that about 50 of you visit our site every day, and we thank you all for doing so. It’s been a very nice added dimen­sion to our trip to be able to share it with you, and your com­ments always put a smile on our faces. Thanks for visiting!

Cheers,
Chris (and Laura)

p.s. — I’ve recently updated the maps on the “Where” page, and also added an “Archives” page to the links at the top.

p.p.s — If you’re getting a red boxed message at the top of the page every time you stop by and the blog looks bad, then you really, really, need to stop using Internet Explorer 6. You can update to Internet Explorer 8 here, try Firefox here, or maybe give Google’s Chrome browser a shot here. All of them will let you see www.OutThereSomewhere.ca the way God inten­ded you to see it and offer you a much better Internet exper­i­ence overall.
