My journey converting to IPB from vB + vBSEO

[AWS]

The site revenue is still doing awesome. What I made in the site last year is less than half of what I have made so far this year so I'm hella stoked that I've already doubled++ my income from last year so I can't complain too much about my stats and trends.

In the end that is what it is all about.

I don't know what's happening but yesterday has been my biggest day since I've converted. My biggest day prior to converting was around 55,000 uniques, 28% bounce rate, 18pg/visit, avg time on site 18 min, and about 1 million pageviews a day I believe. Yesterday I hit almost 50,000 with a bounce rate at 38%, 8pg/visit, avg time on site 11:10, and 633,000 pageviews.

 

Today will tell me if my last few days are truly trends or just flukes. I really don't know why it's all of a sudden increasing b/c my keywords haven't really changed. It almost seems like more and more people are finding the site by searching our site name where as before it was keywords I was targeting.

Well, I'm pretty happy. Yesterday (being a monday), I reached over 45,000 uniques! But I think it may drop off today b/c of some DDoS attacks.

Alright!! I think it's steady now! I'm not sure if it's b/c kids are starting to get out of school and on their summer break now or what but Tuesday I hit 42,000 and yesterday I hit 44,000! I'll continue to keep you guys updated if anything changes but 3 months later I'm finally back to where I was. Now hopefully I'll start to see an improvement from my past stats.

[AWS]

I bet you'll see improvement.

Yay!! Finally hit over 50,000! Yesterday I think has been my highest day ever with 56,700! :D

[AWS]

It will keep getting better too I bet.

Google analytics took off about 7k of those uniques for some reason. I checked back later that day and it was just under 50k. Weird... Oh well, still floating right under 50k so I can't complain too much. About to do the upgrade to 3.1.1.
