Organic Metal Visitor StatisticsSince January 2001 I’ve been using eXTReMe Tracking to monitor hits and visit data to OM and thought I’d share these statistics before I take down the tracker, which is being replaced by a more accurate tracking alternative. I’m sure half the visits OM receives are to pages contained within the site rather than to the www.organicmetal.co.uk domain itself, but here’s data from what eXTReMe Tracking has picked up so far:  I'm sure a lot of visitors were disapointed to find I've not drawn any Metal Gear Solid Hentai!  These are in fact stats for the last 19 months- didn't include August since the month has only just started. That’s a lot of visits! And I’m happy that so many people have taken the time to stop by and check out my site, which at the end of the day is just one in a million of other personal homepages floating around the internet. Things are slowing down however. A few years back, I’d easily be getting a few hundred visits per day, but this is shot right down according to these stats. I guess the fact OM has not been updated for ages would explain this, so I’m not surprised. Also the fact that promoting websites and pulling in visitors 10 years ago is totally different from today. I imagine the net has grown 1000s of percent since I first opened up the doors to OM and competing with so many other art sites or personal sites is tricky. Especially now there are so many massive Devianart-type sites out there which makes having a personal art site relatively pointless for a lot of people. But I’m happy to keep OM up for as long as possible, since I like it and according to these stats, so do other people
