Most of these referral clicks come from DT's facebook page and come from links we've posted on our page or links others have posted about our stories. Either way, if you haven't liked us on the facebook, then click on the above link and help us spread the word.

Next up is the Canadian google site - which is great because google uses some complex and secret algorithm to rank page results for given search terms and apparently we get a good deal of traffic from our neighbors to the north when the internet isn't frozen solid.

Another google site linking into DT, this time in the jolly old United Kingdom. We always welcome the google traffic because it is organic and brings new readers everyday, even if they do swear undying loyalty to a throne.

We really can't say enough great things about working with Jalopnik and Gawker Media this year, and the new Kinja interface has been simple to use and great for spreading the word. All of the editors/staff at Jalopnik (Matt, Patrick, Raphael, Travis, Jason & Michael) have been extremely nice about featuring some of our stories on their front page and it has been a great year working with them.

This was surprising and not surprising all at the same time. While we expected google to provide the biggest share of new clicks into DT, we never expected the volume. 150k referrals is nothing to shake your nose at, especially when you consider we did not pay for a single one of those clicks.
What is in the cards for 2014? Who knows, but stick around and enjoy the ride...we will!
Great job on the content - that's what keeps 'em coming back!
ReplyDeleteI come for the advertisements, you guys always seem to know what I have on my mind. ;)
ReplyDelete~ i learned of Daily Turismo very early in the evolutionary process and frequently forward the daily alerts to my friends whom i know are also interested in cool, affordable driver quality cars. several things continue to draw me back; the authors' passion for the cars, the humorous presentation style, and the educational side-bar links being three of my favorite. now the comment threads are quickly growing and the combined experience of all the readers is being reflected while the knowledge is increasing as well. you can be quite proud of the result of your effort and we, the readers, can expect great entertainment at no charge, what more can we ask??
ReplyDeleteI found y'all while actually looking for a car to possibly purchase. Google, IIRC. After bookmarking DT I basically told anyone who would listen how totally bitchin' the site is and still do. I will click through some ads as well, and I expect others do the same.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, my favorite site on the web. I am thoroughly addicted. You...complete me.
