The Tax Lawyer’s Blog Stats for March 2009

April 4th, 2009 · 4 Comments

I got the idea of publishing my stats from Clever Dude, who actually is a clever dude.

If you haven’t checked out his blog, you might want to take a gander at these excellent posts:

I have been blogging in earnest since August of 2008 and have seen my visits and page views steadily increase since then.

That’s the good news.

However, lately it seems that I have hit a bit of a plateau so I am trying to figure out how to take my blog to the next level.

Here are my results for March 2009:

  • 8,689 Visits  

  • 7,784 Absolute Unique Visitors   
  • 14,607 Pageviews  

  • 1.68 Average Pageviews   
  • 00:01:52 Time on Site  

  • 74.05% Bounce Rate   
  • 87.88% New Visits

I have no earthly idea whether this is good or bad, but truth be told, I am surprised that this many people are interested in what I have to say.

Here is how people found me:    

  • 6.36% Direct Traffic  

  • 16.04% Referring Sites   
  • 77.59% Search Engines

In addition to increasing my overall traffic, I would like to increase the traffic from referring sites because that will increase my Technorati authority.

I understand that is a good thing.

Finally, here are the 5 most popular blog posts for the month of March:

  1. 5 Tips for Preparing Form 1040, Schedule C
  2. Is Congress’ Plan to Retroactively Tax AIG Bonuses Constitutional?
  3. Online Poll: Who’s the Worst Tax Cheat in American History?
  4. Harvard Law Professor, Lawrence Tribe, On the Legality of Taxation of AIG Bonuses
  5. Will IRS Voluntary Disclosure Practice Help UBS Clients?  

Any suggestions you may have on how to increase my traffic or improve this site are welcome and will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks everybody.

    It a schedule C taxpayer consistently has a loss each year for his small business but takes periodic
    draws from the business, how do these draws get
    taxed?

    Mike,

    There are no distributions from a Schedule C because all of the assets are already owned by the proprietor. The only thing you need to worry about is whether the Schedule C had a loss or not.

    It is possible for you to have positive cash flow and still show a loss because of depreciation.
