The anniversary Three Moves Ahead podcast will go up later today, but I thought I’d put some numbers out there so you have some idea how we are doing.<\/p>\n
March 2009: 4368 downloads, with a peak day of 456 downloads (Episode 2 – Halo Wars, Sins, Empire<\/a>)<\/p>\n January 2010: 8413 downloads, with a peak of 632 downloads (Episode 49 – Story telling<\/a>)<\/p>\n Best month ever: December 2009, with 8519 downloads, led by the huge traffic for episodes 41 (Solium Infernum)<\/a> and 42 (Epic Fails)<\/a><\/p>\n This February is on track to set a new high.<\/p>\n There were many days in the first few months where we did not top 100 downloads a day. Over two recent stretches, we had 30 straight days of 100+ downloads – including many days of 250+ – both streaks interrupted by a day in the 90s. We averaged 230 downloads a day over the year.<\/p>\n Our two earliest shows still have the most downloads (people tend to start there when they are trying a new podcast). Episodes 21 (Soren Johnson)<\/a>, 25 (World War 2)<\/a> and 29 (Getting Started)<\/a> are our most listened to from the middle run of the show.<\/p>\n When we focus on a particular game, traffic increases a lot, mostly because fans of that game will link to the show. This is not very surprising. We get more comments, however, on our “idea” or “concept” shows.<\/p>\n I wish Libsyn had more flexible stat tracking than it does because I’d lack to track this stuff in more detail. It’s not easy, for example, to compare daily downloads of one podcast with another over a similar stretch of time.<\/p>\n Thanks, everyone, for listening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The anniversary Three Moves Ahead podcast will go up later today, but I thought I’d put some numbers out there so you have some idea how we are doing.
