Knoxify

Eight months ago we started Knoxify.com in hopes of becom­ing a forum-based web­site, glow­ing with Knoxville res­i­dents as they posted about their life. Two mar­riages, one baby and a non-profit orga­ni­za­tion later, the Knox­ify guys took a step back and reor­ga­nized. We pon­dered what this lit­tle space on the web could become.

After real­iz­ing that Bran­don had more ideas than any Trap­per Keeper could hold, we decided to embark on a dual-blogging jour­ney back in Decem­ber of last year. Poof, here we are.

We didn’t know what to expect from an audi­ence we didn’t think would come. I guess we’re halfway inter­est­ing after all. These are the blog stats for the month of January:

• We had 1,644 unique vis­i­tors that came around 3,022 times. 8,457 pages were viewed account­ing for an aver­age of 2.80 per user.
• 30 sub­scribers clicked back to the site 541 times. Oddly, the most read post via RSS feed was Fun with money: Mon­eygami.
• Patrick Bee­son and Ryan Jones came on and gra­ciously guest-blogged for us. Many thanks guys.
• 1 per­son bought us a cof­fee via the lit­tle red mug link. Thanks Jack.

We have a lot of sites to thank for refer­ring links back to us. These sites — in order by # of refer­rals — helped grow the site:

1. KnoxViews.com — 188 vis­its
2. KnoxNews.com — 187 vis­its
3. KnoxvilleTalks.com — 156 vis­its
4. AideRSS.com — 88 vis­its
5. KnoxNews.com Blogs — 55 vis­its

Now it’s your turn to talk. What did you think of the last month? We’re really excited about the things to come. Keep the com­ments com­ing and “do good”.
