3 Years of Statistics
A little over two years ago I did a post called One Year of Statistics where I went through my logs from the start of the blog (April 9th, 2005) until that post (March 28th, 2006)
Now that it has been over three years since that first post I figured I would come out with some more statistics (these include search engine spiders!!!)
Top 10 Pages:
RSS Feed - 64809 hits*
ATOM Feed - 63454 hits*
Home Page - 48224 hits
Ghetto Prom Pictures - 10184 hits
Comments Feed - 7714 hits*
Ghetto Prom Afterparty - 4925 hits
Logs for April 2005 - 4715 hits
Firefox Gets 50 Million Users - 3956 hits
Conservatives file FCC Petition without watching show - 3851 hits
Thinking of a new project - 3284 hits (which never took off)
Top Five User Agents:
Yahoo! Slurp - 102356 hits
MSN Search Bot - 26241 hits
Google Feedfetcher - 23612 hits
MSIE 6.0 - 19647 hits (I combined all MSIE 6 users)
Googlebot - 18741
The rest are all sub 10,000
Top Five Referring Pages:
MSN Search for “ghetto prom” - 2293
Fark.com’s ‘Top 10 Viral Videos Of The Year’ Comments Page (2005) - 743
Slashdot’s Apple 500 Million Songs - 248
Yahoo Search for “ghetto prom pictures” - 236
If you take into account only actual visitors, since November 15 2005 there have been 22,805 unique visitors and 43,101 pageviews (not including spiders)
I have made a total of approximately $113 off of those Google ads surrounding the site in the past 3 years (with only one payout in late 2006)
The most interesting thing is between February 5 and February 12 2006 I had the largest spike in traffic ever, with 2571 unique visitors and 3,380 pageviews over 7 days… almost all to that ghetto prom post, and almost all from the MSN search engine. That Ghetto Prom entry was posted April 30, 2005…
I really dislike those ghetto prom pictures… I just copied them 3 years ago, and when I took them down a year ago people kept commenting in every comment box on the site ‘where are the pictures’
And this is the 622nd post on the system
* I moved my RSS feed to FeedBurner a few months ago, so those statistics are not 100% accurate
