Those are some interesting stats, and I thought about doing something like that for my blog, but I am going to wait a full year.

9rules accounting for 11% of your total visitors? That’s amazing to me, I need to put that into some sort of page on the 9rules site!!!

Yes that was one of the more surprising statistics I found. Also, our RSS subscribers have gone up around 35-45% since we have been included in 9Rules.

I’m sure the 9Rules traffic has been influential in that rise as well.

Thanks Mike!
