September’s Top Referrers

On the right side bar is the updated roll of Modulator’s 21 top referrers for the month of September (there was a 3 way tie for # 19). Number 21 produced 11 referrals compared to 9 for number 21 in July.
July churn: 11 blogs dropped and 7 new ones added compared to 5 and 10 in August.
Overall traffic was up about 15.1% from August and up 202% from September 03 (no I do not expect the year to year growth to continue at that rate). I am also seeing an increasing number of visits from folks who have bookmarked Modulator and I thank all of you for visiting!
Top Referrer: Resurrection Song! Thanks, Zombyboy.
Top search phrase/word: live strong wrist bands
Most popular post: Live Strong
Statistics are culled from AWStats running on Modulator’s server at Hosting Matters.
Again, thank you one and all!
Also, I’d like to acknowledge significant referrals from some of the blogosphere’s ‘service’ sites: Technorati, weblogs.com, blogrolling.com, MovableType, Blogdex, Bloglines, blogoshpere.us, Sitemeter, NZ Bear’s Ecosystem, Bloogz and Daypop.
All of the blog rolls except the Base Roll are ordered by most recently updated so be sure to ping weblogs.com or blogrolling.com to push to the top of the rolls. These are certainly the sites I tend to look at first and visitors will see you at the top of the roll as well.

Back

The Modulators are back from vacation and wishing we were still gone.
Over the course of 9 days I got online once, did not watch TV, and did not read any newspapers.
I feel refreshed.
I am, though, a bit disappointed that you all did not fix all the ills of the world during this time. Oh well, …..
Posting may continue to be a bit slow as I catch up with work issues and various personal matters that also did not resolve themselves.


Sporadic Activity

What, sporadic activity here at Modulator?
Well, this would indeed be no surprise as the rate of posting for the past 18 months has been sporadic by definition.
Nevertheless, I think it is fair to tell you that the Modulators will be on vacation for the next week or so. I will have a laptop along and should have some form of connectivity for brief periods each day. This does not mean I’ll post anything…
None of this will bother those of you reading RSS or who use Blogrolling’s nifty recently updated feature in you blogrolls. For those of you who come from bookmarks, well, just keep checking…
And, thanks for visiting!
