Forgot to report December stats which was just a little bit lower than November due to the holidays but January has been the best month for dannychoo.com ever - thanks to all of you.
January served just over 11 million page views (11,376,356) to an average of 62,996 unique daily users (up from 57,842 last month). The monthly unique users amounted to an accumulative total of 1.9 million visitors (1,952,901).

A few thousand members have signed up since November and I notice that we now have many female readers amongst us - hope you are not minding the "occasional" ero content ^^;

Referrers who drove thousands of visitors to the site were... And many many many thanks to everybody else and my Featured Feed partners who drove traffic to the site - you can discover news from Featured Feed member blogs at Otaku.fm. Featured Feeds was set up to give back to the community - the traffic that flows to this site must be shared with fellow otaku.

Would also like to say a big thank you to my online partners who also play a big art in making dannychoo.com possible - a message from each partner below (in alphabetical order.)

Hi Otaku!
My name is Sean, and at OtakuFuel I look after the purchasing for Figures and Gundam Model kits as well as oversee the activities of our shipping department.

Bunny (BunnySailormoon), who is also a member here on Danny's site is the computer Otaku behind the scenes that is in charge of all the sparkle you see on OtakuFuel, as well the sparkle you can¹t see on the surface. I think there is a hamster in a wheel that turns gears inside a Linux box that she feeds daily while regulating it's temperature with liquid nitrogen. Or something like that...

At OtakuFuel, International customers are welcome, and can enjoy automated calculation of shipping charges as well as checkout. We also give free shipping for domestic (USA) orders over $99 and free mystery gifts for domestic (USA) orders over $20.

Congrats Danny.  I'm one of the newcombers (starting reading in December) and one reason why I am really enjoying your site is not only do you inform us of what's currently going on and cool in Japan, but you also teach us about the culture and a couple of phrases here and there.

Keep up the great work and I'll do my part by continually checking out the site on a daily basis!

Also, I think it would be nice if you have more content that's catered to the female readers of the site especially with the news section :D  There's a whole lot of male oriented news there lately.  Not that I'm complaining though.  News catered to female readers just seem a bit lacking that's all. ^^
