Appraiser Workshops Blog 1 Year Anniversary

Although it slipped by me last week, the 14th of July 2008 was the one year anniversary of the first Appraiser Workshops post. Since that time the site has seen strong growth in readership with much support from personal property appraisers and art and antique dealers.

A few statistics, the AW blog site is currently averaging about 1,800 visits per month with nearly 2,900 page views per month. The site continues to show growth both in on site viewership and email delivery. The above numbers dont count the email delivery system which is now sending daily emails to over 270 addresses and RSS feeds. The emails distribution program through Feedbruner increases the number of views of the site content by an incredible 8,100 per month.

Since inception without counting the email distribution and RSS feeds the site has seen over 14,500 visits, nearly 26,000 page views and nearly 9,000 visitors. The numbers are also growing nearly every month.

Now in the scope of other websites, perhaps those numbers are small, but the content is geared toward personal property appraisers and those in related fields, so the overall universe of readers is rather small. In that regard, I am very pleased with the number of site visitors and email recipients.

Thank you for your support over the past year as I realize much of the growth is through word of mouth by fellow appraisers loyal to the site. Your positive comments both online and privately, as well as your encouragement have made the past year both enjoyable and educational.
