Atheist Bus – Some Cheeky Insider Insights

I don’t really want to talk about fundraising on this blog. However, I can make an exception this time.

‘Atheist Bus’ has dominated my working day since launch on tuesday morning. We’re in the enviable hotseat where we can see where all the traffic is coming from, with our all our awesome dashboards of win. Here’s a couple of interesting tidbits I thought were worth sharing:

• BBC News is still the biggest referrer. Although they’ve now taken down the original link, since according to their jolly editorial team, it’s an advert. Yeah. OK.
• Google is next. Big G. No surprise there.
• Facebook is third. Also, not surprising. Facebook generates a huge percentage of mainstream social media, despite the cool kids trying to hate on it.
• A couple of blogs have produced quite an insane amount of traffic. We’ll cover those in more detail on the JG blog tomorrow.
• Quite a number of people have donated more than once.
• The helpdesk dudes have had to edit offensive comments all day, which is rare for our site.
• Nobody has fire-bombed the office yet.
• The new shiny expensive servers haven’t croaked.

I’m most looking forward to seeing what the digg effect looks like tomorrow.

More to come folks. I’m off to do a Quarry show in Kingston.
