WordPress had a great 2012, bbPress had a great 2012, and we had a great 2012 too!
This handy report was generated for several WordPress.com and Jetpack-powered WordPress.org blogs with moderate to high traffic, and it really is quite nice. Here’s one of my favorite excerpts from our report.
About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 950,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 17 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than a small country in Europe!
So, with visits from 217 countries world-wide, and the United States, India, and the United Kingdom rounding out the top, we had more visits than 17 years worth of tourists to a small European country. That’s not bad, but we could always do better.
What would you kind folks love to see from us in 2013?
I look forward to every post from this site. It is a great front end for everything in WordPress world. Hey if you have any pull with them could you please forward on this request? Please allow custom fields or add more to the user profiles without having to modifying the functions file.
I don’t have any direct pull with WordPress development, but WordPress is volunteer-developed, so you could always get involved or post a request in the forums.
To be fair Liechtenstein is a tiny country, though I am surprised it only gets 55,000 visitors a year. I have been involved in sites which garnered 10,000 visits daily, so I can thoroughly believe that successful blogs surpass 1 million vists/views per year. Drools.
