Stats and Data for ArtistServer.com for 2006
Yes, I'm still here - I've been bypassing the blog for more than a month now, and it's time to get back into it again. Let's begin with some stats and data for any of you out there that are curious as to how well ArtistServer.com did in 2006. I spent this morning pulling data from various places and have compiled a comprehensive look at ArtistServer - covering traffic, revenue, visitors, mp3 stats, and more. Certainly, there's room for improvement and growth, but the numbers aren't bad considering there aren't any full-time employees, nor funding, and we stopped advertising in June 2006. This year will be interesting, as I see us growing at a faster rate than in 2006. We'll need to upscale again, adding more storage, 2+ additional servers, and moving to a load-balanced solution. In terms of new tools and features on the site, I plan to add Video hosting (most likely partnering with VideoEgg.com), expanding the Photo tools and options (like adding RSS feeds for photos), offering 'widgets,' and finally building out the mobile version of the site (which has been in beta for a year now). I hope 2007 will bring some opportunities for ArtistServer, and the platform it runs on, SocialNetworkServer. I spent the last few months of 2006 talking to some people about launching a company around the platform. Unfortunately, the potential investor wasn't the right person, and the team that was forming has had difficulty getting all on the same page. Fortunately, nothing was signed, I still owning full rights to the platform, and I found out this was the wrong situation before it went too far. The good thing about the experience, is that I finally sat down and wrote out the whole plan for my platform including 20+ diagrams, which will make it easier to get things rolling on the next potential investment. Ok - on with the stats!
Hopefully the formatting isn't too messy... if it is, and you are viewing this in your RSS reader, try viewing it on my blog instead.

That's another thing I love about this site- I know that it's growing growing growing... My site stats went from 400ish hits to 1400 throughout the year- I'm just blown away by how much traffic lil' ol me is gettin in respect to the full bologne that is coming our way... That's what I can't wait to see. (Chris Huelsbeck gets 5% of all the site traffic you said??) That's freakin awesome now that I remember... I've recently tried sharing my media off the site to our local newspaper; sent off an email- with links to show what artistserver's about etc... Since I got some good winter shots in our valley; figured I would try my luck with a good story & local pictures/ cool ideas for fun section in the paper. I'll let ya know if I get any reply since I sent the mail yesterday. I'm very proud of AS- it's getting there Gideon. :) *thumbs up* 19,000 downloads is a pretty statistic!!
