Mmmm. Not really. Yesterday was really good though. Maybe you're getting a lot of clicks from me? <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">

Yeah, Howard's link has given me a decent amount, but could it possibly explain almost 8,000 hits in one day. I mean it's not even 6 pm here in Chicago, and I usually don't start getting a major amount of hits 'til about 8 pm.<P>~Caleb<P>------------------

What!?! You got about 8,000 hits in one day? That's awesome! Geez, I only get about 100 hits a day. I need to start linking and put a comic up.<P>------------------

No, that's Howard.<P>Remember, people prowling around your site also give you new pageviews. I have over 4k pageviews today, and it's only 4:30 here now. People seem to be viewing our archives, and that boosts us quite a bit, too -- we'll see if we keep many.<P>Remember hits is a much less useful number...<P><P>------------------

Of course, they stabilized at a much higher level than they'd been stabilized at before the link, but hey, I can live with that. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif"><P>------------------

This happened to me a few times in January. Howard's link did help alot--but the huge spike I got in traffic was being on Space.com I think. I would suggest getting as much online exposure as you can.- I was beginning to think that Howard had somehow tweeked his html code to give huge amounts of hits to people...hmmmm, could be <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif"><P>------------------

I think we're topping off at just under 6k for the day. We update tomorrow, so I hope we keep even 1/10th of what Howard sent us...<P>

You are talking about daily pages right? In January I's averaging 70 a day with a max of 312, and so far today I've had 74.<P>I'm being beaten by <A HREF="http://kankong.keenspace.com/" TARGET=_blank>The Crudely Drawn Adventures of Kan Kong.</A>

I know one thing that helped me out was doing some fan art for Cool Cat Studio. The art was done before my style was anywhere near where it is now (and it still has a long way to go). I don't like my fan art anymore. Jeremy turned out OK, but my character on there looks like a 4 year old drew it. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>Anyhow... fan art is good. Not only is it flattering to the artist (see my post "iRockZ is the man!" in the main forum for more info), but it is also good for hits.<P>I just thought I'd let 'cha know. My daily average for February is already 100 hits more than it was in January. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>- James<P>------------------
