Since 2021 I have only been doing doing maze name requests when they were submitted. I had many teachers reach out for classrooms full of unique names ! I think I rank well for this on many search engines so I get a lot of maze name traffic !

I did a lot of SEO work. AI seems to like me (before it makes me obsolete?)
Different countries visiting the site:
2025: 207 according to Google analytics ?
2024: 200 according to Google analytics. Depending on how you count the # of countries, that means just about every country. Except North Korea….and I will need to research to see if anyone else is missing.
2023: 169 - I changed how I track this and think the 100 below might have been inaccurate. Out of 195 or so depending on the list you look at.
2022: 100
2021: 100
2020: 99
2019: 20

Pinterest:
I have no idea how to quantify this, but I have a Pinterest Page. It is small. I don’t do much there. Here is my traffic from there to my site:
2025: 1,714 + 57% LY
2024: 1,091 + 343% LY
2023: 318
Large growth as a percent, but a small part of the traffic to the site.
Some statistics about the 52 mazes I featured this year:
The first half of the year featured previous mazes that I redid to hopefully improve them. #158-182.
The middle section featured mazes I hadn’t previously published for one reason or another (wanted to improve them or they were previous commission mazes) #183-189. They are all types of scenes, from skylines to beaches to mountains.
And finally I finished the year with my Land, Air, Sea and Space Collection that featured mazes of vehicles. Each of those mazes can be found in the Vehicle Maze Section of the site. There are 13 Land, 2 Air, 2 Sea and 3 Space Mazes.
So that is my year in review. I have a plan for 2026 which is one of my next blog posts. Expect more mazes that hopefully people like !
