Other Stats

Subscribers - Increased by 54%!  Awesome.  The current contest is responsible for half of this increase I suspect.  Still, that’s a great jump.  Thanks to all the new readers and to the old timers.  Haven’t subscribed yet?  It’s easy.  You can do so by rss reader feed or by email feed.

Traffic- The site had around 7,500 visits and 13,300 page views to the site this month.  That’s a bit down from last month (9,200 and 16,150), but that was due to lack of StumbleUpon traffic, which went from 3,500 in March to 1,500 in April.

Google Page Rank 4 – I don’t know much about this stat, but I know it just changed for me.  Since I’ve been blogging I’ve been stuck at a Page Rank of 0.  From what I can tell, I’m now a 4.

Thanks again to everyone who contributed (subscribers, commentors, referrers, etc. ) to Prime Time Money this past month.
