Best Month Ever for GigaOM

Om Malik, Tuesday, November 1, 2005 at 5:49 AM PT Comments (20)

Quick update for October 2005: 1.29 million unique sessions, 4.6 million page-views and 81 gigabytes of data transfered. RSS is now 51% of the total traffic. 1561 GigaOM widgets downloaded. Not a single Konfabulator widget. That says something! This is the #1 story for the month of October. I must be doing something right, that all you still come back every day. A heart felt thanks and eternal gratitude for your time and attention!

Congrats Om. BTW, I downloaded the Konfabulator widget on 10/24… so there is something wrong w/ those stats.

Yeah, the new design of the blog is growing on me too. Its simple(although now, the gigalinks tend to miss my attention as I scroll down the page).

Om, Is that all you got? :-) Congratulations. You are forging the path for the rest of us. I actually don’t think that’s the correct cliche, but you get what I mean. You rock.

Om Malik had a good October

Om Malik posted his October traffic numbers and boy are they impressive.
1.29 million unique sessions. 4.6 million page views. 51% of page views were via RSS. He says it was his best month ever. I’m betting November tops it.
Doing some quick …
