It’s time for the third quarter statistics report! Unlike the previous reports, I’m a month and a half late with this one–but the wait might have been for good measures. I’ll explain in a little bit, but on with the stats!

Statistics Report for July-August 2008

Compared to the last quarter, traffic is significantly higher than in the second quarter. The previous three months were good–despite a problem with August (6th-11th)…when I messed around with the Google Analytics plugin adding extra code from some of Google’s Analytic embed code in the plugin settings, rendering it useless–ack!

September was the best month for the blog, thanks to the new blog theme, increased search engine traffic, and a few linkbacks. The majority of the traffic was all thanks to YouTuber “bleachcenter” for mentioning about the third Bleach movie premiering next month! Not only that this post became to be the most popular on the blog, but several others stood out as well:

1. Win Tickets to Death Note: The Last Name!
2. Second Death Note Movie in Theaters in October
3. Gurren Lagann Debuts on SciFi
4. Create a Manga Avatar with FaceYourManga
5. Viz Releases Box Sets of Popular Shonen Jump Manga
6. A New Fullmetal Alchemist Anime: FINALLY!
7. Luffy Fuses with Goku–as a Figurine
8. [Video] Final Fantasy XI, Fullmetal Alchemist Style!
9. Real TV Shows From the East You Should Watch: It Started with a Kiss
10. A Byakuya Fan Gets Her Wish

For the last quarter of 2008, I looked at other opportunities for more traffic, as well as better content. First is the increase of anime-related topics. Any gaming related posts will continue to be posted on this blog, but many of them I will contribute on VGPro. I also have my feed featured on Danny Choo‘s Otaku.fm site. If you came here reading this from Otaku.fm, then I welcome you! Feel free to find out more about me, and be sure to check out the archives! It’s time to reach out to other anime bloggers and readers besides relying on BlogCatalog, MyBlogLog, Entrecard, or search engines.

This will be the last statistics report for 2008. The next one will be in January for October-December 2008. But there will a obligatory Year-in-Review post next month, so stay tuned!
