Last month, I publicized my usage statistics over my entire network of websites and added some targets for March. The targets were: 12000 unique visitors on ROCR.net (the only one of my websites where I can easily measure my uniques) and a third of a million pageviews (333,333 if you have to be pedantic) for all sites taken together.

Sadly, I missed two updates in March and had to suspend my ad campaigns as I refuse to advertise for a website that isn't updating (though some sleeper ads continue to run as they are very cheap and take more effort to cancel than to leave running). So I didn't make it this month: total pageviews across my network were 260,000. Uniques on ROCR.net came close to the target though at 11513. More specifics: the Drunk Duck rerun mirror had a disappointing performance in March at just 4900 pageviews, whereas the Chronicles of the Witch Queen website and the ROCR archive on Modern Tales performed very well indeed at 42000 pageviews jointly, according to Project Wonderful. In the end, it all sort of evened out. The irony here is that COTWQ/MT archives only had 3 updates in March, whereas the Drunk Duck mirror had 31 updates, all of which were remastered editions of older comics, some of which were a pain in the rear to put up because they included a week-long crossover.

April has started off very poorly indeed due to the lack of updates, but I expect it will pick up again starting Monday when updates resume. Targets, therefore, will be the same ones that I missed in March: 1/3 million pageviews over the entire empire, and 12,000 uniques on ROCR.net. I may have some new things up my sleeve to help those numbers along, too.
