ViperChill Monthly Report 1
Written by Glen, this post has 20 Comments
Welcome to the first ever monthly report here at ViperChill. The idea for this feature each month is to give you a little taster of what I have been working on lately and how traffic to the site is going. I don’t actually care how many visitors this site gets, but I do care about helping as many people as possible and I’m all about transparency so I’m willing to share as much of my business life as possible.
For the sake of nothing but interest, I have decided to do a monthly report which shares the traffic stats for this website. If you could not care less, then feel free to skip this post once per month. I personally love getting an insight into the traffic and other stats of people’s websites (maybe I’m nosey?) so here goes.
Please note that the following stats are only for 13 days worth of traffic. This site is practically brand new, so it’s going to be a while until we establish a decent amount of visitors.
Overall Traffic
- Visits: 3,575
- Pageviews: 7,135
- Avg time on Site: 2 mins 17 seconds
Top Referring Websites
Here are the top referring traffic sources for the month of October (only 13 days):
- Direct: 1,479
- Twitter: 618
- StumbleUpon: 245
- PluginID: 235
- Google: 189
- Sphinn: 146
- Google (organic): 79
- SmartPassiveIncome: 57
- Facebook: 28
- Ow.ly: 26
Top Referring Keywords
There were a total of 92 visits via 30 keywords this month. The top 10, were:
- ViperChill: 47
- Viper Chill: 8
- titleist logo: 5
- kina grannis: 3
- viperchill.com: 3
- top 100 business twitter accounts: 2
- www.viperchill.com: 2
- becoming likeable: 1
- benefit analysis twitter: 1
- definitive guide to becoming likeable online: 1
Nothing that out of the ordinary here. For ‘titleist logo’ I’m getting traffic via Google Images.
Subscriber Stats
With this blog, I’m not focusing on subscriber stats as much as I have with others. I still think it is an interesting metric though so I’m happy to monitor it here.
- October 1st: 2,362
- October 31st: 2,549
- Change: +187
I have done nothing but mention the site as a P.S. on PluginID and wrote good (fantastic? 
) articles.
Personal Activity
This month I sealed off a long-running business deal. I’m really happy about how everything worked out and will be announcing it early next year. On another note, the games website I’m working on should be complete in a few days. That is just the actual game, not the site design or any launch ideas in place.
I’m also working on an eBook for PluginID entitled “Reality Switch”. It will be about the mindsets and steps necessary to turn your passion into an income or simply take life in the direction you want it too. I’m writing that with Bud who you’ll probably see a little more frequently on the site as he is an absolutely awesome dude.
It’s less than 4 weeks for me now before I leave to Amsterdam. I have been counting down to this for 6 months so you can probably imagine how excited I am. I’m really, really struggling to find an apartment in the city for less than $3k per month (even a 1 bedroom) so I’m probably going to end up in a hostel or hotel for a few days until I can find better accommodation.
Finally, I have the most awesome blog post ever going live on Wednesday. I have no doubt that you will be blown away by it and use it to provide massive value on your website so stay tuned for that.
Life is good.
You are doing very good for for being a new blog. Congrats on that. Greg Ellison
Thanks Greg
A bit OT, but do apartments really cost that much in amsterdam?
Yep, I’m even underestimating quite a bit.
Great numbers Glen! Can’t wait to see these numbers quadruple within the next month. Cheers bud!
Thanks Pat,
Ditto on that one!
I’m in the apartment rental business (not Holland though) so I called a contact. Have a look at this site http://www.xpatrentals.com/ plenty there in Amsterdam itself for under €1000 ($1400) a month.
Hi Mike,
I actually contacted no less than 30 different people on that site. About 3 got back to me but then all of them were already taken
Thanks anyway buddy!
Fair enough. I have a mate who lives about 30K’s outside Amsterdam. I’ll contact him and see if he can suggest anything.
Nice stats man, that is like half of my monthly stats.
You’re sure to get thousands of readers by end of next year
Yep, amsterdam is indeed that expensive, and there are many many scammers on Craigslist pretending to rent out apartments only to run away with your deposit.
The stats report is a welcome monthly addition, and the post is laid out so simple but without just screen captures of the stats. I like that extra effort you put in the keep your posts uniform.
Life is good!
DJ, love the transparency with this report. Can’t wait till I’m there with my new blog that I plan on setting up, especially considering I finished ‘Cloud Living’ for the second time today. Again, thanks for what you do.
Glen,
Interesting stats. Time to say “ViperChill is finally back”
47 people searched for ViperChill in 13 days? You have a really good brand then. Keep up the good work man and yes, continue writing fantastic content.
Cheers
Awesome report, Glen. And I can’t wait for your new post on Wednesday.
Hopefully you haven’t hyped it too much!
Keep doing what you’re doing.
Not only is this giving you back your own advice, but: You have advice here that I want to be able to find again. When I bookmark your page, I hope (cross your fingers) that when I come back it won’t be 404.
Glen, thanks for taking the time to put up thoughtful content!
May I just add my echo of FANTASTICO! Those are some impressive stats! On my list to follow you

Off to a sweet start Glen. The content is coming in handy for some projects that I’m working on.

Also have a nice time in Amsterdam. Your definatly up for some surprises when you stay there.
Hi Glen,
Impressive stats for a 1 month old blog, above all regarding to your subscribers number 2500!

What do you mean with Direct?
Thanks for sharing this interesting info.
Ahh sorry, direct is when people come to your blog typing your address directly, isn’t it?
