Where do we start? Thanks to you, the registered members of FlakeList.org, we saw growth. The main reason the whole concept caught on was due to word-of-mouth. We basically had no marketing budget and therefore had to rely on traditional means of getting the word out. So before you scoff at the numbers below, keep that in mind.

Here's the dirt!

The statistics listed below are from January 29, 2009 (our official launch date) through December 31, 2009.

• Total number of flakes reported: 1,257
• Total number of site visits: 30,084
• Total number of pageviews: 121,012
• Total number of unique visitors: 24,382
• Most popular day: 12/30/2009 with 785 visitors
• Most popular state visitors live in: Oregon
• Most popular referring site: http://daytona.craigslist.org
• Most popular search term: yld corporate
• Most visited Flake listing: Michelle Parker, YLD Corporation (#1110)

Aside from our growing popularity, we also upgraded the site and improved the design. We also added our own cartoon. And we're not stopping there -- we continue to research and develop new and improved features. Please let us know if you have any ideas by posting in our suggestions forum.

Again, thank you to all of our members and especially those who have relentlessly submitted every kind of Flake, Scammer or Spammer they've encountered. We've already had a 1,000+ visitor day this month, which has beat all previous records by nearly 25%. Let's show these flakes who's boss!

With that, we wish you a Flake-free 2010 and hope that you'll continue to follow us as we grow and make every effort to rid the world of flakes and their kind.
