It’s that time of year when Spoon Graphics gets a little older, with 2018 marking 11 years of tutorial creating, freebie sharing and article writing on what started as a blog that was attached to my portfolio website in 2007. Every April I take some time to reflect over the past 12 months and talk about how things have changed. Last year marked a decade of Spoon Graphics, so let's take a look at some fresh stats and figures another year on after that big milestone.

Traffic stats are dropping quite drastically compared to previous years. My site's prime was around 2012, when I enjoyed serious traffic spikes from StumbleUpon, Facebook and Twitter, but referral stats have seen the biggest decline by 27%, with traffic across the board being down by around 15%. The Highest Traffic Peak stat has remained the same since 2014, so this time I've added Highest Traffic Peak (This Year), which was slightly above average
at 23,725 visitors. The good news is my audience is still growing, with my mailing list now surpassing 140,000 subscribers and the Spoon Graphics YouTube Channel reaching its second big milestone of 200,000 subscribers.

Once again I'd like to give a big thanks to all my readers, both veteran subscribers who have been around since the early days and newcomers who have just discovered my content. While it is a little worrying seeing my site's traffic decline at an even faster rate than previous years, I suppose it's to be expected as the landscape of the Internet changes. It's fulfilling to see that my audience stats are doing quite the opposite and growing at a
steady rate, particularly on YouTube. I hope you find my content throughout the next 12 months useful and enjoyable!
