I Know What You're Thinking

Where the heck are the updates from Mags?

Hold yer horses. Real life stuff has gotten a hold of me. Until then, Mr. Firebird will do what he can to sate the 10's of you who read daily.

State Of The Union Address

I was going to do this at 100 posts, but forgot. Now I'll do it at 115 posts. Yeah, I know, I promised I was out until Tuesday. This time it's really my last post until Tuesday. Promise.

First the basics.

• Blog started March 16th, 2007
• First day visitors-37
• Total visitors since March 16th, 2007- 29,465
• Lowest visitors day- 19 on April 28th, 2007
• Highest visitors day- 9,918 on July 26th, 2007 (thank you Gorilla Mask)

Now some article stats.

• 3rd most read article- 10 Worst GM Vehicles Of The Past 25 Years, 977 visitors

And the top 10 Google keyword search term referrals.

• 'Infiniti M37'
• 'Infiniti FX50'
• 'The Mags Report blogspot'
• 'Nissan 370Z'
• 'Infiniti EX25'
• 'Transformers sucked'
• 'Ford Twin Force'
• '2009 Infiniti Q50'
• '2008 Corvette pricing'
• '2008 Cadillac CTS'

Some very odd Google keyword searches that resulted in blog hits.

• 'caricatures Carroll Shelby'
• 'admiral viscen' (WTF?)
  
• 'worlds largest piece of crap' (referring to the site or a car, I'm not sure)
  
• 'transformers sucked?' (I guess this searcher wasn't sure)
• 'tiptronic machismo' (bitter anti-Porsche person)
• 'les tripe de jackasses' (a French person who doesn't like me?)
• 'gmc acadia is a pig' (Toyota dealer?)
• 'mags gmi' (ha!)

The top 5 referring sites.

• Gorilla Mask- 12,063
• VW Vortex- 1,349
• Digg.com - 775
• Best Week Ever- 754
• GM Inside News (aka Mention The Mags Report And You're Banned)- 752

After that, it gets extremely dorky. As if this wasn't already.

• IE is used by 47% of visitors. Firefox by 44%. Safari by 6%.
• Windows is used by 88% of visitors. Mac OS by 11%. Linux by 0.66%.
• Average time on the site is 6 minutes and 52 seconds.

So that's that. The good news is that the site is doing great and I want to thank all the contributors for being a part of this little project (even the lazy ones). The bad news is.... umm... there is no bad news.

Another One Bites The Dust

And by 'another one bites the dust', I mean 'another one joins The Mags Report'.

Welcome to Sobe, a former contributor at the hallowed grounds of GMI, and now doing his thing at FoMoCoNews.com , the website to be for all of your Ford needs. You know, like repairs and quality control, bland vehicles, a company on the brink of bankruptcy, and absolutely no semblance of design prowess.

As always, if you like writing about cars, feel free to contact me at magforce@gmail.com.

The Mags Report- We're Hiring

We're, and by we're, I mean, 'I', am looking for people who want to write about cars, the car industry, and other stuff pertaining to cars. Simple as that. A one man show is good for the ego, but bad for site updates. Compensation is lacking, but you will get the benefit of being read by 100's upon 100's of people ever day. That's right, The Mags Report is rolling triple digit styles.
