Frankly I wasn’t sure LGN would get to this point, but after several domain and hosting changes we survived 3 years today !
LGN tried to put a few contests over the years but unfortunately they failed.
Maybe I should setup something easier next time…
I’ve been very open regarding LGN and as with last time I’ll publish the stats for those who interested.
Despite all the visitors I have, I make ZERO $ on this website, and the hosting is generously provided for free by Linux Game Database (Thanks again Pheonton) – otherwise I’ve been forced to use the good old but limited wordpress.com π
Please note that those stats are only for the last year ( 2010-08-17 β 2011-08-15) as I’ve moved to a new host and domain (Linux Game Database) , so without farther delay, here are the stats :
The basic graph shows the visits over 13 months, as you see we had good months and bad months (after the company I worked for got bankrupted and I got fired, I wasn’t in the mood to post much so the visitors came much less, but I’ve found a new job now).

Here is the graph with more detail (and numbers) :

Overall LGN had 132,858 views this year, which is a 23,975 increase over last year !
The most popular page was as usual the “main LGN page”, then “Trine And Trine 2 Are Coming To GNU/Linux !” and the third place was “Unity GNU/Linux Exporter In Development !” – the forth and fifth pages were the “Upcoming GNU/Linux games !” and “Recently Released”.
This is a bug change as the last two pages were always visible and updated every few months, while the others were “regular” news articles.

Here are the top links people loved to click on when visiting LGN
As you can see the top clicked page was happypenguin.org and close second was the excellent freegamer.blogspot.com blog about free source games.
Our generous host lgdb.org came third.
Top Clicks 2010-08-17 – 2011-08-15

Those are the websites I own big thanks for referring to LGN, and the biggest of them all was reddit.com which I begun to update with LGN’s new posts less then a year ago.
The wikipedia article “List_of_adult_video_games” is still bringing new visitors to LGN.
Also about 1-2 months ago there was a strange day in which I had many referrers from gayclubsociety.com website which is very strange because I’m straight and my website is about Linux Gaming – a friend of mine suggested that they misspelled it as “Linux GAYming” π
So thank you for redirecting to LGN !
Top Referrers 2010-08-17 β 2011-08-15
Generated 2011-08-15 14:02:42 UTC
The top search term was “linux gaming news” so people know what they looking for but always forget to add .org π
Many people were interested in Trine so “trine linux” came second and more general searches followed.

Congrats for all the work done, I’m still following your articles via the RSS feed, so I guess my hits are not counting.
Is there any way to “count” them or to see how many subscribers via RSS LGN has ?
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Thanks for searching and posting unique things on the net, I know how hard it is.
BTW:

Sorry that I missed this when you posted it Maxim, but I was stuck on the modem for the past week. Anyway, a happy belated birthday to LGN, and I am glad to see my work on Wikipedia has benefited you with some nice referrals. π
Thanks, your wikipedia work has indeed boosted the referrals (you did the games for adults referrals ? aren’t you too young for that ? π ).
That one I have no recollection of adding…
