IotD seeing growth

Since the beginning of the year there has been additional attention paid to IotD from the web in general.

The number of unique visitors to Cellar and IotD in February is over 10000 per day. This is up from an average of around 7000 in November/December.

Of those 10000 visitors, I estimate that 7000 are IotD viewers and 3000 are Cellar forum viewers.

In addition, the bandwidth used for Cellar and CellarIotD is now officially insane. More and more threads with attached images become popular. I've been posting larger and more images per IotD and these IotDs are now archived and visited by more people.

The additional traffic to IotD has increased the amount they generate from the Google ads, and so IotD now earns the Cellar like $50/month which goes into the connection bill. In addition, I've put Google ads on the Cellar archives which generates an additional $15/month or so (still early on that figure).

It's not enough offset to discourage the tip mug yet - we still need the mug, especially while I'm unemployed and can't put my own money into it. But things are improving.

Good for you, man. If only you could do this "for a living" ...

When I win the lottery (AFTER SG and Bri and I go on our whirlwind Cellar tour) I will subsidize your endeavors!

Let's see some more pats on the fucking back here, you web lemmings!

Good lord - that thread was an eye-opener.

It clarified for me why I took the plunge in the first place - this really is a community of grown-ups.
AB was rude, personal, insulting and wrong - and was told to stick around and give the other Dwellars a chance....

Hats off to you guys.[/OT]

(Oh and Bruce was a new poster - wow)

arrrgh! no! "pats on the back" for UT regarding the original post here!

Now I do not exaggerate
I think she's nothing short of great
I say that kind of flattery
Will get you any place with me
The way we carry on it tends
To just embarass all our friends
And that is how we'll still be years from now
My baby and me
We belong to a Mutual Admiration Society
My baby and me

Perhaps IotD is rubbing off on COTWP...it is currently the #1 site for "whale penis" on Google. Whoohoo!

I loved that Webscalpel thread so much. I think the whole thread needs to go into the Hall of Fame.

I think we need a yearly webscalpel contest.

Damn, Griff! That gave me a chill. :worried:

It took me way too long to work that out monster.

It's too bad that L isn't on her forehead...
