Blogs

As is customary and traditional, we celebrate every new 1,000 members here and share the traffic stats. This time it's 24,000!

There were 1.4 million page views this month, which is close to a record. It just took us just over three weeks to get this latest 1,000 members--we're averaging about one new member every 37 minutes.

Here's an amusing description of the site from Alexa, which ranks sites and traffic patterns:

Diydrones.com is ranked #57,230 in the world according to the three-month Alexa traffic rankings. The site's visitors view an average of 3.0 unique pages per day. The site is relatively popular among users in the city of Kremenchuk (where it is ranked #230). While the site is ranked #23,678 in the US, where approximately 40% of its visitors are located, it is also popular in Australia, where it is ranked #17,127. About 15% of visits to Diydrones.com are referred by search engines.

I had to look that up, but Kremenchuk is an industrial city in central Ukraine. Maybe there are a lot of drone enthusiasts there?
