Monthly Report - May 2012

Serving up 234,149/156,125 Page Views!
Welcome to the May 2012 Monthly Report.  I may not be feeling as creative or cappy as I want, but I always like looking at numbers!


So first, May's big numbers:

• Total Page Views:  234,149/156,125
• Total Visits: 40,316 (Averaging 5.81 views per visit)
• 36,253 Visits were from refferals
• 6,571 from worldoftg.com
• 2,298  from blogger.com
• 2,269  from Smitty's TG Caps
• 1,752  from Jennifer's TG caps of Defiance
• 1,600 from  tgcomix.com  
• 2,989 Visits were direct traffic
• 1,074 found their way here via search
• Common search terms were: caitlyns masks, cum diet, fuskator, and bodysuit transformation

May was very similar to April and is now my second biggest month.  Which makes sense.  I was on pace to match (and maybe even surpass) April's numbers until I stopped posting on the 28th.  Just a couple of 'big' days would have done it.  

The five most viewed caps of during May were:

1. All The Options - 5,996
2. Call Me Maybe - 5,960
3. For you Baby - 5,150
4. Unexpected Body Swap - A Design Experiment - 4,935
5. School Girl Revenge - 3,679

My particular favorites (in no particular order) this month were:

• For you Baby - 5,150
• I think this is (design wise) my best 'Kinetic Text' caps.  Story wise "Earning A Name" is better, but I like the way the text came out in For you Baby better.  

• What Will He See? - 1,369
• This one wasn't popular, but I really like the image and the little manipulation I made for it.  The story is a nice quick hit that leaves a lot to the imagination. 

• The Devil Came On To Georgia - 1,761
• I thought the story 'worked' in this one, and I just had a blast playing around with the title graphic.  

• From Best Friend to Girlfriend - 2,441
• The story was the key to this one for me.  I've actually come back to read it as the whole part of them watching porn together keeps me squirming!

I was surprised to see that my two top caps this month were both from challenges.  It's not as though I think I have a monopoly on story ideas... but neither of these would have come to my mind.  The design for both was very simple and in all honestly a little 'lacking'.  And speaking of design, I find that "Unexpected Body Swap - A Design Experiment" got so many page views to be funny too.  The story in that one was really not my normal style and I didn't think it was good.  The whole idea behind the cap was to play with the text layout, so the story (in my mind) could have just been a paragraph of lorem ipsum.  But then again, it did receive a lot of comments and the post itself kept changing as I added more designs.  

I did do a little more design work to the blog.  It bothered me that the side panels were so narow, so I widened the entire blog to 1100 pixels, and the side bars to 275 pixels each.  Widening the blog made my banner graphics to small, so I had to edit them to fit.  And as long as I was editing them I took out some that just didn't fit to me.   The banners removed are:

I hated seeing the stockings image go, but it didn't match the design I had on all the others.  and while I love the masks in the latter two banners, they just never held my interest.  In fact I would find myself clicking the banners just to load up a new one when they came up.   

I had a nice discussion about an infection I got (and am currently dealing with) here and got a lot of well wishes there too.  I made a cap ("The Treatment") that I thought ended up bad, but ended up being the 11th most viewed cap in May at 2,568 page views.  Had a cap ("Justine Justice") where the discussion turned into how a person could best get DNA from someone (seems licking them might be the best way). 

Overall in May I posted 26 caps and a total of 32 posts.  I know that this level of activity is mainly due to me not working all that much and no longer going to school.  I hope you don't take it the wrong way, but I hope to NOT have that much time available when I start working full time.  But as I won't be taking my \Licensing exam until June 19th now (thanks foot infection for making me push that off!), it looks like June will leave me with plenty of capping time.
