Low End Mac (LEM) has served over 750,000 pages and 200,000 visitors every month since December 2001 - and over 1 million page views and 300,000 visitors per month since October 2005 (with one exception). We average 18 million pages served per year, and every month 350,000 to 400,000 people visit our webiste. Every visitor is interested in Macs, even the 42% (July 2009) who are visiting on Windows computers. (Since our busiest hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Time, we suspect that many of these are Mac fans who use Windows computers at work.)

LEM is a leading resource for anyone using Macs, especially older models. In over 12 years on the Web, Low End Mac has grown from two dozen pages stored on my personal site to a well respected resource that sees over 500,000 visits per month.

44% of our traffic is within the site from internal links, and half of our traffic comes from search enginges. Google searches account for 95% of that traffic, followed by Yahoo at 2.5%, StumbleUpon at 1.1%, Bing at about 0.7%, and everything else below that mark. In a typical month, approximately 6.5% of our traffic comes through links on other websites - 22% of that through MacSurfer. We are also linked in many online forums, Wikipedia articles, and are often referenced on sites such as Wired, The Register, Technologizer, Lifehacker, Gizmodo, The Mac Elite, PC World, and others.

We also receive traffic from RSS readers and Twitter, but our logs don't distinguish those from other traffic.

Based on which national version of Google visitors to Low End Mac use, we estimate the following worldwide readership:

  1. United States, 75%
  2. United Kingdom, 5.8%
  3. Canada, 5.4%
  4. Australia, 1.8%
  5. Germany, 1.6%
  6. France, 1.1%
  7. Netherlands, 0.92%
  8. Italy, 0.87%
  9. Japan, 0.59%
  10. Sweden, 0.58%
  11. Spain, 0.53%
  12. Belgium, 0.50%

We have been "Slashdotted" several times in our history, sometimes seeing tens of thousands of hits on a single page in a single day - and our servers have never had any trouble keeping up with demand.

Low End Mac has been using the lowendmac.com domain since March 1999. To date we have served over 123 million pages.
