For those who follow these things. Poetry Kit has had an unbelievable year. 2 years ago I reported that the Poetry Kit Website had broken into the top million sites in the world (verified by Alexia) and was regularly in the top 8-900,000 in the world listing. This is out of all websites which is over 12 billion though Google only record 6 billion of those.
In 2006 Poetry Kit had just over 5 million visitors, that is visitors not just hits. (hits give the wrong idea about a sites popularity).
we are regularly in the top 100.000 sites worldwide, including all the big names and the gaming and sex sites which trick people into visiting. On Friday we hit site ranking 34,361, today we are at 72,294, which gives an overall ranking over the past six months of 87,812 (which includes a month in the summer when our stats were not recorded due to a server crash on my end while I was away.
Most importantly of all we are now the highest ranked poetry site topping out over poetry.com for the first time which has been an ambition for me for quite a while. Remember they advertise in national newspapers around the world Poetry Kit does not use paid advertising and relies on word of mouth and other site listings.
So if you have any poetry event, news or magazine publications you want to share, please let us know at
[log in to unmask] . We are a non profit organisation though we sell poetry books through the website and I run on-line poetry courses.
