Happy New Year! Finally the year 2013 has come with full of joy and happiness for all of us.<\/p>\n

2012 was a very long year for me and this blog. \u00a0Since I moved to America earlier this year, there have been a lot of difficulties and I found it almost impossible to maintain this blog throughout the year. Therefore, I am so glad that I and our writer team did a great job to make 2012 a successful year.<\/p>\n

Although I was away and almost disconnected for a month, our team still managed to publish new articles everyday. There were overall\u00a0434 posts published on this blog in 2012, that means we are publishing more than 1 post per day. This is a very impressive number if you notice that I contributed just half of those articles. I can’t find the best words to say thank you to all writers here in the last year.<\/p>\n

I often set new year resolutions for this blog on the 1st day of new year. On the same day last year, I set some goals about revenue, traffic and ranking<\/a>. Although some goals haven’t been completed, I am still happy that other important goals were accomplished sooner than expected. Below is the traffic and income report of TechWalls in 2012.<\/p>\n

Traffic in 2012<\/h2>\n

The traffic was so consistent throughout the year 2012. The beginning and end points are nearly at the same level. There were overall 368,898 unique visitors and 520,361 pageviews. The visits mostly come from search engines like Google and Bing (75%), other traffic sources include referral (12%), direct (12%) and social networks like Twitter and Facebook. It is notable that the traffic from Twitter is three times as much as Facebook. This is very surprising because I spend much more time promoting blog posts on Facebook. Facebook could not be as effective as we think.<\/p>\n
