kottke.org is one of the most popular daily-updated blogs and was recently redesigned. Today, Jason posted some stats (highlighted below). I think the stats on Tumblr and Twitter engagement was interesting, too.
- Overall traffic to kottke.org was up 14%. And February was a pretty good month itself so that's a nice bump.
- Mobile traffic now accounts for 19% of kottke.org's traffic and increased by 25% over the past 30 days.
- Referral traffic now accounts for 45% of kottke.org's traffic and increased by 28% over the past 30 days.
- I also removed the links to the tag pages (like this and this) from the front page. I had a hunch that very few people were using those links compared to the real estate they took up and the traffic numbers bear that out...traffic to tag pages decreased only 3%.
