Indie Voyager doesn’t have email subscription option on indievoyager.com, it uses only WP Statistics plugin to track its stats (without GeoIP collection being enabled) and the website’s presence on social media atm comes down to barely using its Facebook Page and twitter. Also the website relies on positioning itself on search engines by using SEO by Yoast WordPress plugin (the basic, free one). And centuries old mouth-to-mouth way of advertising.
The number of views you see in the bottom of articles and homepage previews is an incorporated part of Carrie/Malina WordPress theme used by indievoyager.com.
