Over the past few weeks I have noticed a small increase in traffic on my Florida Gators Forum, Gator Envy. Usually it averages 100 unique visitors/day, but recently, it has been over 200. Traffic spiked to an all-time high on Monday at 535 uniques.

Registration signups are still low. Maybe 1 new member a day. Most of my traffic comes from Google for people searching for gator wallpapers or myspace layouts. Since I offer the layotus for free, people don’t tend to sign up to get them.

But it’s not all bad. I have noticed the number of pages indexed in Google is rapidly growing as well. Over 3,000 pages are now indexed and I have a total of 6,000+ posts. So that’s not bad at all.

To keep up with expansion, I added some new modifications. One is advanced forum stats seen at the bottom of the forum home page. The other mod I installed is a photo gallery. I really think by the time football season comes around, the gallery will be a huge asset to my community.

I still haven’t added any ads to the site yet. I probably will attempt to this weekend and see what happens. With only 100-200 uniques/day I can’t expect much.
