The other statistical aspect would be actual pageviews. The widget is getting a lot of attention. Since starting the website, the total number of overall hits is 1,265,039. I guess that is pretty good. Boostpost does not have a marketing budget per se. So getting anything is probably a good thing. The other positive note is the apparent growth of Boostpost:

Each month from Nov thru Jan has seen an increase in the total number of hits. Feb is lower than prior months, however it is currently Feb 15, and Feb is a shorter month than all the other months. Regardless, the pace of activity for Feb is actually very good, and in a 30+ day month, we would very likely see consecutive growth. A couple of sites have started using Boostpost in Feb and I anticipate some really good numbers to be generated as a result.
Challenges, however, do exist. Boostpost is in a rather transient market. Bloggers change their widgets with a high degree of frequency, and Boostpost - though a useful service - is simply caught within the moving gears. So far, the result has actually worked more in Boostpost's favor than not; however, there have been cases where really great sites have elected to not continue with Boostpost. That is a shame, because I sincerely think that with full utilization - including your adsense id - Boostpost represents a new wave for bloggers to earn revenue through a vehicle which previously was a liability (redirecting traffic to another site). The good news on that front is we're beginning to see bloggers incorporate that full utilization, and expect that trend to continue.
