Hits as displayed in Urchin

According to Urchin, my site has received approximately 176,010 hits, 3,180 unique visitors, and has transferred 2.02 GBs of bandwidth since Sunday. This is a significant increase in traffic compared to my usual stats. A large number of the referrals are coming from CSS Vault and Pajatti.net as well as CSS Reboot.

Just before I launched the redesign, I installed ShortStat. While Urchin is excellent for viewing highly detailed statistical information, I really like how I can just click a button and instantly see my current stats all on one screen with ShortStat. The guys over at the The Big Noob are working on a Dashboard widget for it that will make it even easier to view the stats with a nice clean GUI. It is supposed to be released sometime this week and I am really looking forward to using it.
