I remember when John blogged about how much traffic he’d gone through since he got listed at StyleGala, CSSBeauty/Vault etc.
Well in like fashion, already my bandwidth report this month has prompted a flurry of panicked emails from me to my host – we’re only 5 days into this new month and I’ve already shifted nearly 2GB in traffic. Just to put that in perspective, I normally do around 1.5 – 1.8 GB per month!.
Just for your interest – here’s what that looks like on a graph.
Anyway, my hosts being exceptionally great chaps have promised me nothing nasty will happen to the site or my bank balance and in return I feel I should definitely let you know what a bloody good bunch of geezers Martin and Khalid at SiteHQ are.
This is a great month for me – John choosing June to be my turn ‘in the barrel’ so to speak has meant a lot more people than usual will get to hear about Autistic Pride Day and my hosts being all round good sorts means they’ll be able to carry on being exposed to it. A lot of people who’ve come across from John’s place have mailed me privately to say how much they’ve liked reading the autism related stuff as well as the design related stuff and that to me is brilliant. So, next time you hear about what a shitty world we live in, remember that people are also generous and kind.
Left Brain Right Brain 
Yeah Ive never actually been able to fault Martin and Khalid, I emailed them the other night and got a great turnaround speed, my hosting is the last thing I have to worry about these days!
Ill stop spamming your blog eventually, promise, I just bring it up everyday to read though… its hard not to comment!
You’re not spamming, you’re commenting – when you start pushing Viagra or penile extensions then I’ll ban you – until then, carry on ;o)
Wow – the site looks great Kev, awesome work, I got listed on Stylegala a month or so ago, and the extra traffic it generated was incredible, the hardest part is getting them to come back once the new design has been seen, but with your content, it shouldnt be a problem.
Stuart.
Well, I’ve not got listed on SG – God knows what my bandwidth would be like if I was! The big increase is all from John.
Damn – look at that chart!
It just went nuts at the begining of the month didn’t it?
John obviously appreciates how good your site design is to have it featured on his site, and values your web design skills enough to invite you as guest blog-master.*
(* That…or you’re keeping him stocked in beers and pies – and this is the pay-off! #Laughs#)
Yeah, about those pies Kev, they never did get here. You’re a bloody liar.
Anyhoo, that increase is down to your bad self. People will only visit if the links look interesting, so ‘ave it — I’m not paying yer damn bandwidth bill! :o)
Those friggin’ pies – every time I tried to stick the stamps on them they just fell apart.
Pastry chef’s are so shit these days.
