PAASSC blog Traffic Increased 2194% in 2 years!

First, I want to thank all of the amazing families that turned out for our First Annual Back to School BBQ. My only regret is that I didn’t take enough pictures. The kids loved the jumpy house. The parents enjoyed the food and great conversations. Most importantly no one felt like a stranger. The conversations were amazing. It is amazing to look back on the organization’s growth as we start our third year.

A Personal Best

PAASSC.com was launched May 2011 with  59 unique visitors a month and an average of 5 visitors a day. I checked the stats every day the first four months. When visitors soared to 15 in one day I excitedly called girlfriends and went on and on about PAASSC’s recent achievement.

I haven’t looked at the stats for close to a year. PAASSC.com had 1295 unique visitors with an average of 77 visits per day in August 2013 – which has been a steady and consistent increase over time. That’s an increase of 2194% in a little over two years. Who Knew!!!! Full-time bloggers expect to reach these numbers within the first 12 months but juggling a full-time job, two young children and a husband with a blog that targets such a small niche I am super excited with our numbers.

Community

We have attempted many programs ideas as we are looking to define ourselves. This year we are going to focus our time and energy increasing parent participation in our phone conferences and Parent Ed Nights, as well as, increased student participation at growing our membership and increasing participation at our monthly play dates and Parent Ed Nights.
