It’s time for the March 2013 traffic report for WoW Hunters Hall. March was a good month for WHH, with a large bump in visits coinciding with the release of Patch 5.2, and a generally higher level of traffic overall.

Fourteen percent were direct traffic from those who have us bookmarked or type in our URL manually, and about nine percent came from referrals.
