Wow…

The Challenger is simply amazing, and I have the web-hits to prove it. Viewership at Allpar has nearly doubled over the last three days, and nearly everyone seems to be coming in via Challenger links. The new minivans are attracting a good share of people, too – but most are coming in for the new and old Challengers.

They have to make this thing.

By the way, I’d like to thank Kash and moparbob for attending the show and reporting from it; hopefully we’ll have a bunch of photos and more commentary for next week, along with a great NASCAR article from Curtis Redgap and maybe some other stuff.

I’ve been making small additions and changes along the way without announcement or fanfare, so every now and then you might want to check back to older pages…

We have now passed 1,100 pages at allpar (not counting forums, news, etc) and 500,000 viewers/month (based on unique IP addresses, perhaps not the most reliable method.)

According to Google Analytics, we have so far received 358,000 visits this month (not including forums), with 945,502 page views. That’s January 2006 alone! 75% of those are from new visitors. 49% were sent by Google, 18% typed in allpar directly (some no doubt due to the CNN article!), 10% from Yahoo, and the rest from MSN, individual sites, and other search engines. The top search keyword, unsurprisingly, is Dodge Challenger, though the Charger and Caliber are bringing in large numbers of people as well. We do seem to be doiing a lousy job of converting people to visit the rest of the site! 77% of visitors to the Challenger page fail to visit the rest of the site.

75% of visitors are from the US, 9% from Canada.]]>
