Thought I would share some blog stats for March 2009. This March actually marked one year of the site being in operation since I relaunched it. But I didn’t really do much work / updates to it 2008 and pretty much let it sit dead. And when I did update it, most of my post were about Code Geass R2. I decided to again start over in 2009 spending January redesigning the site and February doing some posts. But it wasn’t until March that I really started to try and be more dedicated to updates here.
March 2009 Stat Overview:
870 Visits
2,089 Pageviews
548 Absolute Unique Vistors
2:51 Average Time on Site
62.18% New Visits
March was a good month because I got accepted into Danny Choo‘s Otaku.fm! And it really helped boost traffic to the site. Danny spent years developing his site into what it is today, and to share his traffic with other anime fans / bloggers is really gracious of him. I am certainly grateful to him for it as linkage from his sites contributed to most of my referrals in traffic for March. Dannychoo.com referred 130 visits and Otaku.fm referred 142 visitors. 163 were direct visits, which is certainly nice.
144 visits were from search engine inquiries. The top inquiry was about the Triggerheart Exelica Enhanced limited edition game. I’m guessing talking about the special Nendoroid that was included helped considering the game was released in late March. Still wish I could have got the game because I wanted that figurine. Sadly it is out of stock now. The second inquiry was the Black Rock Shooter figure GoodSmile Company announced. Third top was Yoko Littner with various other keywords attached.
There were a few inquires that I have to wonder about. For instance, number 4 top referred inquiry was aa867. This appeared to be an image attached to my Utena Kissed a Girl post and somehow lead people to Ultima-i in search engine inquires. Other inquires that lead to some ‘stray’ visits included the word “ultima” in them. I suppose that should be expected considering what I decided to name this site. But for me naming this site Ultima-i was a logical choice, which you can read more about in my profile page.

As I mentioned before, Ultima-i is powered by WordPress using a theme I created called Individual System. It is a work in progress and there are things that do need to be fixed on it. I am working on the next revision to the theme and it should address some minor issues as well has show more of my own style in it. Since relaunching Ultima-i I decided that I would make it a point to use my own theme creations and not themes created by others, because I want this blog to express who I am. Its not perfect so please if you experience any kind of problem with it I would like to know so I can approve the user experience.
I also want to take this moment to say Thank You to everyone for visiting my site. 870 visits probably seem like nothing to experienced blogger but for me it is a great achievement. In just March 2009 I exceeded the visits to this site from March 2008 to February 2009, so that’s a big step for me. And I couldn’t have had that without each one of you that thought there was something interesting here to check out. So again, Thank You!
I look forward to what April has to bring and promise that I will try and provide you with more updates!
