16,000+ Unique Visits for Matsui Monday

by Rev Halofan on Dec 15, 2009 12:22 AM PST in Angels News

Matsui Monday, along with news about Benedict Lackey abandoning ship, brought heavy traffic to this site yesterday. For an offseason weekday, 16,000+ unique visitors to a blog indicate that blog is doing something right. Just look at our screengrab of the stats below:

Our neutral, third party Sitemeter says it all in this screen grab shot at 11:57 Pacific Time Monday night: Everyone turns to Halos Heaven for their online Angels news and commentary. These are not stats we cook up in-house, these are records of each unique ISP number visiting the site, day in and day out. Thank YOU for visiting yesterday and helping the Godzilla of the Halosphere welcomed Godzilla to the Angels.

UPDATE: Yesterday was the biggest day for traffic in the history of SBN... Over 800,000 unique visitors poured thru the network's turnstiles. Soon it will be a million sports fans per day and the mainstream media won't know what hit 'em.

A day of infamy?

Hopefully this “day” will end as gloriously as that other “day.”
May our loss be a wake-up call to our front office to re-build and follow victory to its final end.

Congrats on the traffic.

Who goofed? I've got to know.

Congrats

This is the first place I go to for news about the LAAAAAAAA, fans who know how to cut thru the spin of the John ‘Scott Boras Newsletter’ Heyman columns or ESPN BS. Just enough F bombs to keep it interesting from a Sox fans perspective.

Rev

Have you checked out Google Analytics? It’s pretty amazing. I know you have been using sitemeter forever, but it might be worth checking out. The data you generate is amazing, even on my little homepage pimping my music…

RIP Nick...

FYI...

The little Wikio brag box that you have below the search box on each page is incorrect. While it is true that HH is ranked 21 by Wikio, the fact is that Wikio ranks MLB Trade Rumors twice using the same URL. The data for those double entries should be accumulated into a single entry, possibly raising MLB Trade Rumors in rank..

So, actually, HH is 20th.

Congrats...

for getting Matsui. He’s a really classy guy, you guys will love him. Wish the Yanks woulda resigned him, but they’re looking at using the DH more for Posada so we sadly didn’t have a place for him =/

Talk about growth...

November and December of 2008 Halos Heaven had approx. 97,000 unique visitors. So far this November and half of December there have been over 182,000 visitors.

Everyone should be proud of these numbers.

I study them just like every match this team.

That kind of "popularity" is reserved for that OTHER Angels' fan site....

Good eye.

Is that TP actually balancing on a rail?

Impressive magical balancing TP.

The TP is afraid of Godzilla

So it does whatever he commands. Lets hope his awesome power works on baseballs too

Hahaha, win.

Thanks for this great site

I check it everyday to see the latest Angel news and venting/cheering. I found this site during this year’s playoffs and had a ball joining in the live feed blogging during the games. It was like sitting in front of a TV with a group of friends sharing the ups and downs of the games, joking and laughing, booing and groaning.

I look forward to doing that again when we reach the playoffs in 2010.

This site is way better angelswin.com

This site brought us classics like Rev’s KC BBQ vid and WiHaloFan’s comics

I missed the video of the barbecue, and I haven't located it using the search engine.

I’m probably using the wrong word. Got a link?

F@#K Matsui

lets ditch our franchise icon for the Hitachi version. Nice move F@#Kheads. Who’s next to leave Anaheim and destroy any hope of making it to the World Series in 2010?

We all love Vlad

but Matsui is a very good fit in this lineup, the dude is patient at the plate and can still go deep.

At least the hat matches the cold sores?

Konnichiwa, Hideki-san…

The Angels will unveil Matsui during a 2 p.m. PT press conference at Angel Stadium on Wednesday.

F$%K Vlad, obvious people here don't know baseball

Vlad = useless and loser; Godzilla = patient good hitter, excellent teammate; seems like many japanese haters here too; you racists don’t deserve Godzilla on your team,

by Foster690 on Dec 16, 2009 12:20 PM PST reply actions

Sounds like you're a Vlad hater...

Which means you’re probably a Yankee fan since he destroyed them everytime. Just because Godzilla had a good season and postseason doesnt mean he will be much use on our team especially at 35. Plus hes just as “Useless” on the field like Vlad. This is a stupid move to sell billboards not to put together a world series bound team. Oh and calling him Godzilla is a japanese stereotype that’s just as much racist as anything else. You wont see me getting his jersey…although my friend who is a huge yankees fan said he would.

Sorry Vladdy. You will always be the #1 Angel in my book. R.I.P. #34
