Tomorrow, January 12th, is the 2nd birthday of BikingToronto. From it’s small beginnings to what it is today, it’s been online for 2 years.
This works out well for those looking at statistics – comparing 2006 (year 1) to 2007 (year 2) as we begin our 3rd year (2008).
How 2007 stacked up to 2006:
Posts: +100%
(yup, there were exactly two times as many posts in 2007 as in 2006… it wasn’t planned that way or anything…)
Unique Visitors: +40%
(Visits, which counts you as one person if you visit, leave and then visit again)
Page Views: +40%
(The average visitor viewed 2 pages on BikingToronto)
Search Visits: +121%
(People who got here after searching for something on Google, Yahoo, etc.)
All these numbers are increasing, which means that you are enjoying what I post on BikingToronto – which leads me to plans for 2008…
Since tomorrow is the 2nd birthday of the site, we’re celebrating by improving the site – you’ll start to see visual changes when you visit next week, and as time goes on you’ll see a bunch of new sections and features on the site that have been planned and thought out over the past couple of months.
I don’t want to be too mysterious, so I’ll tell you to expect more of everything you expect from BikingToronto, with more ways to search and find all that content. 
Happy Birthday everyone.
