 I am not suprised. This is the best fishing website anywhere.

I sure do appreciate that sentiment but I know I can always improve things so I'll keep trying. Thanks fuzzygrub1611!

I am not surprised the U.S. and Michigan lead the first two lists.  I am surprised however that my town made the Top 10 Cities in Michigan and it made the top 5 there.   

Top 10 Cities in Michigan:

1.  Grand Rapids 1,569
2.  Lansing        575
3.  Livonia        471
4.  Warren         318
5.  Dearborn       303
6.  Detroit        283
7.  Plainwell      240
8.  Saginaw        230
9.  St Joseph      224
10. Trenton        199

All of you in Grand Rapids are AWESOME!!

The rest of you are pretty cool too!

Pretty cool stuff.  Where do cities outside of Michigan come in???   Just curious.

That stats program only does them by State and then by city. Looking at how far the other states are below Michigan, most likely only a few big cities in other states might crack the overall top ten. I might look at that more soon because it actually helps me strategically to know where traffic is coming from and not coming from.

Scratch that. The program does do by City rankings for the entire United States. Not a huge surprise about the top 10 cities:

    City         Visits
1.  Grand Rapids  1,569
2.  Chicago         741
3.  New York        580
4.  Lansing         575
5.  Livonia         471
6.  Warren          318
7.  Dearborn        303
8.  Detroit         283
9.  Plainwell       240
10. Saginaw         230

Mostly Michigan cities due to overall stats and the bulk of the traffic I'm getting from Illinois and New York are coming from the biggest cities.

Interesting stats. My city still cracked the top 5. With proximity to the Great Lakes region, I am surprised that Cleveland, Buffalo, maybe Indianapolis would crack the Top 10.

Great job Dan. The fact that this forum is run so well without all of the bashing and bs of other forums is the reason why we chose to become a sponsor. One forum I frequented has gotten so out of hand, I can't stand to go there anymore and it seems that some of the old posters have left there as well.

BD, if you know anyone in those cities, please mention GreatLakesBass.com! New York has actually just started to come on a little better in the past few months. I am working on ways to improve that end of the Great Lakes.

I'm not sure why Indiana isn't growing better. Though I continue to try to figure that out. All the time. Guess I just need to do whatever is happening in Ohio and Illinois lately!

Well I sure do appreciate that. I got sick of the drama sites a loonnngg time ago. I see some of them are imploding now. Sooner or later, they all seem to do that if something drastic isn't done that can be almost as bad.

I've always believed the good, helpful members avoid those sites more and more over time allowing more room for the 'Springer' fans to populate.

I daily appreciate that we are so fortunate to have so many mature, adult-behaving people on this website. I couldn't run the site otherwise. THANKS!!

I peeked again today and still heading for a record 30,000 plus unique visitors in April so far! Still geeked!!

Can't really go by so few days though. Kind of like watching the stock market hour to hour. I notice first day under 1,000 unique visitors in a while yesterday... Where was everyone?!?
