Not dollars! I wish. But we will cross the 100,000 RSS feed hits since the new site went live on April 9th. I am nerd excited.

The picture above is from my homebrew RSS stats app. Nice, eh? It tracks all of our feeds, well the 2 old ones (the one that redirects to Feedburner and the one read by Feedburner) from the last site and the 5 new ones. Since the new 5 have gone live we've picked up on average 53 unique readers of those daily. So from April 9th until today we've gained at least 53 new listeners . . . yes!

How do I know? I'm a stats junkie with enough code under his belt to get dangerous on the tracking tip.

The really big deal is that the website itself is envious of the RSS feeds and wishes them death. The day that I started running the stats to track the total RSS hits and even the unique hits the light went on. The RSS feeds receive nearly five times as many unique visitors in a day than Croncast.com!

UPDATE: It happened.

5 oh -- i didnt mean to make you doubt or ponder or whatever -- i was trying to be funny. I know you are a geek and I am totally computer NOT savvy but I think you guys are awesome. And this number means that at least 900,000 other people are at curious enough about your awesomeness to give ya a listen -- right?

6 i'm with you anne. but it's much less exciting than that. the number i referenced is a total of hits on the feeds minus the people who use our feedburner feed. most feed readers hit the hit about 5 times a day and others do more often like say bloglines who hits once an hour!

this is gonna get real nerdy . . . the real tally that means something is the unique people based on ip address and aggregator. we currently average 348 on those and about 430 on feedburner. some of those are probably duplicates, most i bet. so i combine the uniques of the new feeds with those from feedburner and we are at about 485.

but i do also track site downloads and there are about 75-125 of those per show that are unique.

this is getting messy. numbers are crazy and most likely do hold no significance other than to satiate my mind.
