June was a record traffic month for fedak.net. The site got 34k non-search engine page views which handily broke last September's record of 26k.
At least some of this traffic pickup is due to a spambot attack that is repeatedly attempting to leave comment spam in the guestbook. The attackers appear to be using a distributed bot net so IP banning has been ineffective in stopping it. Instead, I've modded the guestbook code to silently ignore comments with multiple URLs. This hasn't stopped the attempts, but it at least saves me from having to remove dozens of spam comments every morning.
Pages:
– The most popular pages were the usual suspects: The RSS feed, the backcountry page, the blog, the homepage, and the guestbook.
– The most popular photo albums were My Broken Leg, Celerity PGE Project (thanks to the buzzboard link), Pico Blanco, Hetch Hetchy Backpack, and Clouds Rest.
Referrers:
– Google was the top referrer, followed by Google Image Search and Yahoo Search
– The top search engine phrases were: clouds rest, wapama falls, mount dana, lost coast trail, and fedak
Thanks for visiting everybody.
