Genius Types received 34,865 page views in May.
Not counting StumbleUpon traffic, unique visitors to Genius Types increased from 8,286 in April to 10,463 in May, a 26% increase. Since April traffic included an unusually high number of StumbleUpon referrals (8,616); overall traffic actually decreased.

I added a whopping 140 feedburner subscribers over the month (56% more than I added last month), averaging about 4.5 per day and ending the month with 444 subscribers.

While StumbleUpon traffic can be very exciting when it hits all at once, the traffic spike is a little deceiving. StumbleUpon visitors don’t intentionally choose to visit your site, they are basically just put there (hence the name). As a result, there tends to be more bounces and less rss subscribers, comments, and Ad clicks.
I’ll take all the traffic I can get, but I am more concerned with organic growth, meaning rss subscribers and regular readers.
The compound monthly growth rate (rolling average over the last 3 months) of overall traffic dropped to 22%, which still beats any other business model I know of.

Technorati
I moved from a Technorati Rank of 20,573 to 17,592.
