    Hmm. You may have thought you got 206K visitors in Aug. 2006, but you’d be wrong. According to Compete: “In August 2006 , an estimated 1,474 people visited shoemoney.com, making it the #592,480 ranked domain on the Internet.”

    Ha ha! ;)

    I’ve only just started reading this blog, there is some insteresting stuff here but that actually seems quite low for the revenue your generating (if that adsense cheque is for real)??

    Been lurking the blog for a while but absolutely had to comment on this post.

    That graph sure looks mighty purty. Shows an awesome upturn in traffic. How’s about you point your domain to one of my sites for a month? Hmmm? Tell you what, I’ll make it worth your while. $10? C’mon…it’ll buy you some shoes ;)

    Nice work and thanks for a great blog.

    That’s some good growth. My site has been online for almost a year and I haven’t seen anywhere near that amount of traffic.
