Flag Counter Results

by Value Blogger on November 13, 2010

I just passed the 1000 unique visitor mark on my technology site. My unique visitor count though on Google analytics is at least 1/3 less. According to flag counter, I am averaging about 350 unique visitors daily. Analytics show an average of 210 daily the past two days. Anyhow, the flag counter shows that 88 countries visited the site in less than 3 days and the US leads with almost 300 visitors. The question though is: “what is the best way to monetize the site given my time limitations? ” I hope to have a good answer once I get more into PHP development as well as doing some further research into existing business models that deploy technology based sites.
