Raw Data
Even though it wasn’t a huge jump over August, I’m happy to report that the growth was very organic. September showed a strong traffic increase without the assistance of lower-quality Stumble Upon traffic.
Page Views
The compound monthly growth rate since the beginning of the year is 25%.
Money Post
An article I wrote about Husker football really caught on amongst Nebraskans and set a record for most page views in a single month on Genius Types. At one point, the traffic on that article crashed the server for an hour.
The exciting part was that the traffic was almost entirely organic. Instead of relying on StumbleUpon for casual passer-bys, almost half the traffic to this article was from email referrals.

- Lazy Man and Money :: 673 visits
- Zen Habits :: 469 visits
Google traffic increased 10% over last month and continues to be the bedrock of Genius Types.
HuskerPedia picked up my Husker article and sent it viral for Nebraska fans.
Corey’s blind endorsement of Genius Types on Lazy Man and Money continued to produce.
Projected Traffic
Here’s this month’s dose of speculation:
If Genius Types continues to grow exponentially at about 25% per month, I’ll be looking at over 4.5 million page views over the next 12 months!
This, of course, is based on a compound monthly growth rate of 25%.
At $10 CPM, that would mean $45,000!
I could live with that.
Thanks for being a Genius Types reader!

Brian,
I’m always amazed by your progress and continue to use it as a model for myself. I’m glad you finally got that glitch worked out though…I was afraid GT was gone for good!
You coud make a passive income ebook for free viral marketing. Also you can sell a 0,01 cent ebook (automated delivery) on ebay to people who want to get there feedback up.
But i think your doing great..
Keep up the good work.
