The Ecofrugal Living blog has simply surpassed a milestone: as of in recent times, it has received over 100,000 page views.
Okay, I recognise it truely is chump exchange by way of some bloggers' standards. The most popular frugal-living internet sites, like Mr. Money Mustache, probably get that many visits every month. Back in its heyday, the overdue, an lousy lot lamented Young House Love became possibly getting that many each week. But for my little hobby weblog, which started out out more or an awful lot much less via twist of fate and usually receives up to date handiest on weekends, it's an accomplishment I take a few satisfaction in.
According to Blogger's monitoring equipment, on this weblog's nearly ten-12 months facts, I certainly have made a complete of 856 posts. The maximum famous of all time have been:
- The Patio Project, Stage 8: Furnishing (Aug 4, 2013), in which I talk about the furniture set we bought at IKEA for our new patio: 2,313 page views, accounting for over 2 percent of all the traffic I've ever had
- Thrift Week Day Two: ConsumerSearch (Jan 18, 2013), discussing the ConsumerSearch website as a place to find information about potential purchases: 1,753 page views
- Looking for cover, part 2 (Apr 5, 2011), about the pros and cons of different types of ground covers: 758 page views
- The Aldi Organic Face-Off (Jun 25, 2014), comparing the prices of organic foods at Aldi to conventional foods at Stop & Shop: 645 page views
- In search of recycled paper checks (Jun 3, 2014), which is what it sounds like: 447 page views
- Getting rid of "stupid plastic" (Nov 15, 2011), about which types of plastic are most pointless and how to eliminate them from your life: 416 page views
- Take this snow and shovel it (Feb 11, 2013), about the challenges of shoveling snow in a boxed-in yard like ours: 330 page views
- The Rationing Challenge (May 31, 2013), in which I set out to try living for a week under the limits of WWII-era rationing: 230 page views
- How to recycle whipped cream cans (May 5, 2014), which is also what it sounds like: 201 page views
Most people who find the site do so through Google. The search terms that have driven the most people to it, aside from "Amy Livingston" and "Amy Livingston blog," are:
- ecofrugal (a term I use in lots of different posts, so it's hardly surprising that people looking for it would find this site)
- Lowes en Espanol (probably from people looking for information about Lowe's in Spanish, who were n doubt disappointed to find only this post on how Lowe's Spanish-language flier differs from its English one)
- DIY pantry (a search that would direct people to my pantry project posts, here and here, which I hope would prove useful for them)
- groundhog fence (which would steer people toward a series of posts about how we built and later modified a fence to keep groundhogs out of our garden)
- make it do or do without (not sure how this led people here, but I guess this blog is in the same spirit)
