eoy report

We began 2009 living a mile up in the mountains in Oaxaca Mexico down near the Guatemala border. We end it here under the gray cold snowy skies of Cleveland Ohio. This in the trade is known as a wrong-way-play.

Here are the end of the year status reports on our three web sites.

Gained 25 pages a day for an increased readership of 9.3%

AgentOfChaos.com – Smith and friends art and poetry (at 3,500 pages, this may be the largest art & poetry site on the web):

2009 = 867,728 pages . . . or . . . 2,390 pages per day
2008 = 982,406 pages . . . or . . . 2,692 pages per day

The three sites rack up 5,078 pages viewed per day (this does not count our MySpace pages or Lady’s Face Book page).

I noticed the traffic on Ice and Chaos both dropped drastically as soon as we returned to the U.S.A. to live.
