What brought you here?

Posted by Clever Dude | September 29, 2008 .

Quick question. I’ve had thousands of direct visitors (the ones who go directly to www.cleverdude.com) in the last few days. Where did you hear about my site that made you type in my address? A magazine? Newspaper? Let me know what brought you here!

    The PFN is how I found you.

    In the same boat as Daniel, have been lurking for so long that it’s hard to remember - think it may have been through “The Simple Dollar”.

    Link from article on another financial website brought me for the first time, I believe it was mymoneyblog.com

    I was using StumbleUpon when I came across the Frugal Lunch post.

    I have been checking for a long time, and I don’t use RSS or email to subscribe I just bookmark and check every weekday. So those are direct hits for you instead of coming from another site.

    I guess I just don’t like getting that many emails and have not opted to start going with RSS feeds because I like to see the full blog site and article when I read the sites.

    Through your boy… Punny Money!

    I can’t remember where it was, on the aol or msn welcome page maybe, but there was a list of extreme ways to save money, and there was a link to your blog about getting rid of the carpet and saving 2000%, lol.

    @Jo, I think that’s it. It was both USNews and MSN Money. The statistic servers (Google, Statcounter and Sitemeter) are reporting funny things. They’re showing thousands as direct visitors, but then only a fraction go to the homepage which doesn’t add up. The majority are going to the carpet article, but they’re being tagged as “no referral”.

    A combination of pfblogs.org and Budgets Are Sexy’s blogroll - not sure which came first.

    No idea, can’t remember.

    I found you through a carnival or another blog (don’t remember which) for your article ‘Can you be a personal finance rock star?’

    Blogroll of frugaldad.com

    I found you through canadiancapitalist.com. I found them this Summer through a Globe and Mail review and just lately got around to checking it out (along with the other blogs he links to)

    PS I typed in the URL directly because the link I’d followed was the superstar post and I wanted to bookmark the main page.

    NCNblog gave you a nice writeup, so I started coming over almost daily. It’s faster for me to type in “cle” in Internet Explorer or Mozilla and pull up my recently visited sites. I’m enjoying your perspective.

    I guess i came to know thru MSN.com

    a link from squawkfox’s email updates

    I got here by accident, and I’m leaving as quickly as possible. ;)
