Visitors
I get a lot more visitors to my blog than my actual shop this year. I had about 12,000 unique visitors. As you can see by the chart above from Google Analytics, I had more visitors at the end of the year. 88.51% were new visitors and the other 11.49% were returning. 982 views were from a mobile device.
Referrers and Traffic

50.00% of viewers came from searching the web. 36.01% were referral traffic and 13.99% direct traffic. Top referrers were Google, Pinterest, Etsy, Facebook and the Birchbox blog (Birchbox linked this blog on their blog). Top keyword searches were for fun thanksgiving dessert, unique desserts and christmas desserts.
Compared to Last Year
My views went up at the end of the year in 2011 too. I had about half the views and visitors in 2011. I've been updating my blog more in 2012 and sticking to a schedule so I think that helped the views and visits. The top referrers are about the same as last year.
