Thank you for being a loyal reader (if you are) and if you are new, thanks for stopping by. The past year has been a good one for kempoinfo.com, reaching over 54,000 page views (up over 13%), almost 20,000 visits(up almost 10% from last year), and just shy of 10,000 unique visitors ( also up about 10% from last year).
We’ve added two additional voices to the site, and now host 128 pages of information, 291 blog posts, and 553 discussion comments, most of which cluster around any time Marlon posts one of his observations. We have almost all of the combinations, and the most complete archive of Shaolin Kempo on the web by a long stretch.
That’s not counting the (and I’m not making this up) 8,322 comments that were caught by the spam filter. I’ve only found one ‘false catch’ so far, so if you had a comment that didn’t get through, my apologies.
What’s up for the new year?
A cleaner site: Fewer advertisements. They don’t offset the costs very well, and clutter the page. I’m tired of them. Adios webring, you started hijacking my visitors.
Kempos and lots of them. I was sent a list by Bob Fritz of Dragon-Phoenix kempo, and will be putting them up in groups, probably in a special ‘Bob’ section due to the huge quantity.
More multimedia, new features (as I try to get them set up) and a few surprises.
If there’s something you want to see, of course please use the comment feature as your suggestion box.
Thanks for all the support. This little ‘hobby site’ has really taken on a life of its own.
Oh, and we crossed the 100k pageviews since I moved from the old site some time over the last month or two.
sounds awesome! also Matt B., i need your email, got dm 50 and 56, on video, but cannot post them here.(?)you can get my email from here or from marlon.
I think those 8,322 comments caught by your SPAM filter were all from me !!! hee hee hee.
Just another side note: The 108000 views we’ve had (and the 8000 spam comments) are since I installed the stats plug-in in wordpress in December of 2008. Not too shabby.
