Caviarist.com – The Aftermath (3 month blogging)

By the end of August ’08 I started with this blog. It was clear from the beginning that this will be a shot into the dark. Sure, there are far bigger and more threatening issues in the world than the survival of sturgeons alone or the pollution of the Caspian Sea or the question if one is buying illegal caviar from his traditional contact or not. It started as an experiment. So, it’s about time to make a short overview of how things are happening in here and to share this with you. Now, lets see where it took me so far:

Pretty far, it seems! Surfers from over 50 countries and 30 different languages have stumbled over my blog. The following countries are the top 10 runners:

- Switzerland (of course; but right behind is….)

- United States (always and everywhere in the top ten!)

- Bulgaria (what a surprise)

- Argentina (I guess more because of ‘polo’ than ‘caviar’)

- Uruguay (my second home country)

- UK (the Brits are known to be connoisseurs. After all they invented port wine…)

- Germany (the competition?)

- Slovakia (rising states follow trends)

- France (of course!)

- Brasil (and who thought of that?)

 

But there are also some few but nevertheless surprising visits from the following states:

-  India (6 visits)

- Costa Rica (6)

- Japan (5)

- Australia (4)

- Kazakhstan (3) (maybe I should stop posting about the caviar mafia?)

- Iran (3)

- United Arab Emirates (1)

- El Salvador (1)

- Bahrain (1)

- Azerbaijan (1)

 

Other key observations:

- Tuesdays and Wednesdays seem to generate most of the visits.

- Almost half of the visits are unique visitors (first timers). So, quite a high rate through returners!

- An average visitor sees almost 3 pages

- And the average time of a visitor is 4.30min.

- The Alexa Rank: aprox. 6,3Mio (still a long way to go!!!)

 

 

It is apropriate to say that Caviarist.com is already today, after 3 month blogging, a frequently visited blog about caviar. Thinking about the relatively special topic of the blog and the very small amount of people who can or want to actually enjoy caviar, these figures are quite impressive to me. The traffic points towards growth. Reason enough for me to keep going on. Pls, feel free to share your thoughts with me about how to improve things in here. After all it’s for you!

 

It remains to express my gratitude to all of you out there!

Overandout.
