I used to occasionally put up a post about the growth in traffic to ActiveRain, but I haven't done so in a few months.  Just been way too busy.  But after seeing what is happening the last couple days I thought I had to share.

Yesterday alone, ActiveRain.com had a record of 8,834 unique visitors, viewing a total of 183,480 pages and generating slightly over a million hits on our servers.  As of 8:00 are this morning we are 25% over the pace from yesterday so unless our servers crash we should have our first day over 10k visitors. 

Where is this traffic coming from?  Primarily off of search engines, which accounted for about 55% of our traffic, other sites being about 15% and the remaining 30% is from returning visitors/members.  Right now Google is sending 67.1%, Yahoo 16.2%, AOL 6.2% and MSN 4.7%.  This is an interesting switch from previous months where Google accounted for over 80% of our traffic, and is resulting from more presence in the other search engines.  What does this mean for members?  Well lots of consumers are hitting this site and finding your information...

Other interesting stats, the average visit to this site is hovering right around 12 minutes with about 10% of all visits lasting over a half an hour.  Our top referring sites in the last month have been Inman.com, Realtor.org and TimothyClineRealty.com accounting for about 2k visits.  Localism.com which we put up just the other week and is still several months from official launch got over 400 visits yesterday. 

Thanks to all our members for helping make the ActiveRain Real Estate Network a wild success, and we hope it's helping your business.
