Just posted a new Poll in the sidebar:
How Many Unique Visitors Does Your Biggest Blog Get Per Day?
RSS Subscribers – Click Here to Vote.
Note – I’m asking for Unique Visitors – not ‘hits’ or ‘page views’. Most statistics packages will give you this information.
Those of you with more than one blog – just do your biggest one.
Looking forward to seeing the results.

I liked to see what kind of blogs get 20001+ unique hits a day.
Interesting idea for a poll. Unfortunately, different stat packages treat different types of visitors in very different ways, so this is kind of an apples an oranges thing. For example, StatCounter registers bots as visitors whereas SiteMeter does not. Thus, SiteMeter’s number are consistently well below those of StatCounter.
I get around 1000 uniques on most days :-)
101-250 here, I’m hoping to be a large blog in time but as of right now I guess I have to just keep on truckin.
My biggest blog is about 3 months old and gets an average of 70+ unique visitors daily. But there were a few days where I get sudden spikes in traffic that reached up to 1k+ unique visitors.
Someone voted 20001+ unique hits a day, I wonder whose blog it is.
excellent poll question
Darren, a small technical issue. When I click on “view results” from out of the RSS-Feed, I will be redirected to the feed of some “True Tiger Recordings”!?
Maybe there´s something wrong with Feedburner and polls!?
@Brett: Though I didn’t include it in my answer, as it’s not my own blog, Tech Digest (which I write for) is starting to approach 20,000 uniques (with page impressions at mid-20k), and the large US-based tech sites get a LOT more.
not more than 25:(
fivecentnickel – it’s no scientific poll – however it’s the best we can do unless we convert all ProBlogger readers to the one metrics package. Hopefully it’ll give us a relative idea of how everyone is going.
Marco – weird. Not sure what the problem is there!
The 20001+ is my blog about underwater basket weaving. No joke heh.
about 200 :)
Usually around 6000 to 9000…
My record was 90000 in a single day :)
I got just under 2500 when the Threshers 40% wine off voucher went viral and appeared on the National News. I had blogged about it a week before after picking it up from Gaping Void.
about 200 uniques – depends on the weekday.
I’m hovering around 17k uniques on average…
Lately, I usually get around 1000 per day. But there was a day of 20k when got mentioned on a large site.
I just started my blog so its fairly new so at the moment, its between 0-100 but as time progresses, I am sure more unique visitors will come :)
I would love some more readers. But ten a day is better than none.
My motto is: better one bird in your hand than no hand at all.
Wouldn’t you agree?
Hi Darren
I think people should ensure they are not quoting stats from AWstats, because it counts both uniques and pageviews totally differently to things like Google Analytics.
My oldest blogs get over a 1000 visitors a day.
Less than 100.. hopefully a lot more one day.
My blog’s been going for well over a year now, and I’m up to about 20-30 visitors a day on average. I’d had some spikes from a couple of good stumbles, but it hasn’t seemed to stick.

Average is 30 – 50 per day for me, except for that one week in June when Digg and StumbleUpon sent upwards of 500 – 1000 per day.
Funny, though, even with the page impressions, I didn’t make a penny from Adsense.
My StatCounter report says that I had an average of 100 (before I joined SU and stumbled 2 of my own posts) and an average of 200 after SU.
Aww.. That’s embarrassing, LOL.
the visitor list is small, but it is definitely increasing too, which is a good news for me.
oh MY god!! Sombody got 20000+ hits
Blog gets 0-100 visitors, but thankfully rest of the site (mainly photo albums) brings the average number of unique visitors per day (based on google analytics) upto 100-250 range with occasional peaks to 251-500 range. Not enough to make any real profit from site.
I thought I was getting about 30+ unique visitors a day on my biggest blog when I was using Webalizer. Then I started using Statcounter which dropped me to 20 on a good day. I don’t want to know about Sitemeter!! In any case I fit comfortably into the 0-100 either way at the moment.
I get about 200-300 unique readers per day to my site, but I have almost that many that read through email subscription and then another 100 that read through full feed. So how do you count that? I have also been pretty confused about how to get accurate stats. Even google stats and sitemeter seem low compared to when I just count the actual IPs that came to the site minus bots.
not more than 5 :(
my site just 4 days old
I started last month and I seem to get about 100 – 120 a day but I can get it to pop up to 300 at times with strategic posting. I am trying my first contest for October and some supporting advertising.

I voted for 1001-2500; that’s how many visitors my Fable blog receives.
Steve
I often wonder how much the unique visitor stat really means these days when many blogs (this one included) have many more people reading via RSS than actually visiting the site. You can have 5,000 unique visitors and 25,000 more reading via RSS…
My blog is already six weeks old and it still hasn’t passed 100 per day. I’m sad.
My traffic patterns are why I really appreciated Seth Godin’s post on Mean vs. Median. This week was a great example where for several days it was really slow until I posted a memo for my non-TV watching readers about a news story I thought they would love and I got seriously slammed. I did not see that coming and at first thought I had gotten hijacked. And I am aware that most here would have considered that a slow day too. I have to discipline myself to not get caught up in the comparison game.
I think mine’s only getting hits from me so far, but it’s less than a week old, and I want to have some decent content there before I really start promoting it.
Hopefully if there’s a similar poll in six month’s time, I’ll be able to give a different answer.
Around 500 per day isn’t too bad for a 1.5 month old blog?? Right?
I currently average about 20 unique visitors per day.
However, I have just recently uppped the ante on the quality of my posts and re-directed the focus of my blog. Through that, I have seen a climb in my traffic – including getting one of my posts Stumbled and seeing 74+ unique visitors though that. :-D
But further more, I am currently re-designing my blog and I shall be launching a huge campaign for my blog when I get that finished.
I am quite excited about that.
It really depend upon your stats application. Google Analytics shows 8000 uniques for me, however, Mint shows just 6500+
not sure, but I guess it should be more than one! :D
It seems like my blog is above average. If I could just find some sponsors :(
Around 50-70 a day for me. Sometimes more, sometimes less (like weekends).
Mine’s about 100-150. I’m glad to know that is about average.
@pelf – is it considered acceptable to stumble your own posts?
I am in the 100-150 range as well. Seems to be the average
Well, I get more than 250 per day but not much so I would like to see those getting 20001+
I am getting about 2,500 to 3,000 unique visitors a day on average, its not bad, but it is pretty small traffic within my niche.
Mind you my blog has only been going for four months, so I suppose its pretty good for a new Tech blog.
I’m siting on the line right now getting between 90-110 views a day, slowly moving up from the 5-10 I was getting a month ago.
More than the 20,000 bracket. The record was about 125,000 one day.
Even though some stat programs count bots differently, as some people pointed out, it should not make that much of a difference in UNIQUE page views per day (maybe like an extra 20 or so). I found it kind of interesting to see where all the readers rank. I personally did not think that 1000-2500 was much to talk about, but it looks like it is above average.
