Episode Three: Who visits this site?

by Marilyn on May 2, 2005

Welcome to another enthralling installment of “CallistaWolf’s Blog Stats”. I know you have all been waiting for this and who am I to disappoint. ;) It was an interesting month, stat wise. There was some craziness involving searches and some downright abysmal days in terms of visits. I understand. No one loves me anymore. :mope :lol I’m sure that’s mostly because I was too busy to rack up credits on BlogExplosion or BlogClicker. And we all know people from those sites rarely actually READ the blogs they surf so I guess it’s no loss. ;) Anyhow, here goes:

April

Total Visits: 2,832
Daily Average: 193.83
Most Visits: 435 on April 14 (thanks to Amy’s advice smackdown!)
Least Visits: 84 on April 30. I was sorta boring towards the end of the month there. :blush

Top 10 Referring Sites

  1. Amalah.com: 227 visits. I can thank the advice smackdown primarily for this one, though I got hits off comments I left on other entries as well. Yay!
  2. Lilac Pixels: 98 visits. I’ve gotten a lot of hits this month off my own design site! :) If you’re here checking out my free templates, welcome and enjoy!
  3. Priss’ House of Crap: 77 visits. A lot of these were due to my using her Simple Green design to make this lovely Tulip design. She liked it! :)
  4. WordPress Support Forums I?m assuming for various posts I?ve made there, people wanting to see who this crazy chick is. ;)
  5. BlogExplosion: 61 visits.
  6. Bloglines.com: 56 visits.
  7. BlogClicker: 46 visits.
  8. Losing the Baby Wait: 41 visits. Wow, Jamie is still sending them my way. Thanks so much, Jamie!
  9. Ovusoft forums: 34 visits. Which is odd considering I so rarely visit and/or post there anymore. :lol
  10. A Little Pregnant: 31 visits. Still getting a good number of visits from that obscene amount of children thing. Sheesh, people!

Top Five Countries (minus Canada and US)

  1. European Union: 182 visits
  2. Austrailia: 128 visits
  3. Mexico: 122 visits
  4. Netherlands: 114 visits
  5. Germany: 110 visits

The Great Debate

  • MS Internet Explorer: 56.3%
  • Firefox: 33.7%
  • Others: 10%

Better than last month, but still room for lots of improvement. ;)

Most Common Searches

  • damn it feels good to be a hamster: 18 searches. I know its funny, people, but let’s move on, shall we?
  • inconceivable: 11 searches. It’s always rather comforting to get search results directly related to your page. ;)
  • ryan and greenlee: 10 searches. Unlike this search, for example. I love All My Children too but I posted about them months ago. Besides, Ryan bugs me these days. Greens oughta dump his ass.
  • callistawolf: 7 searches.
  • personality quiz theme song: 5 searches. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and assume this is a search for a quiz which will tell you your theme song and not someone looking for a theme song about quizzes. ;)

Strangest Searches

  • the amazing race free ron :woot You said it! Did you know glarkware is selling “Free Ron” buttons? I must have one.
  • girls catholic high school skirt You’re at least 11 years too late for that. ;)
  • britney bare feet gas station bathroom Which, can I just say, is so nasty.
  • will there be a second movie of spirit stallion of the cimarron? please answer me! :lol Should I tell them that search engines don’t usually reply or do you want to? :roll
  • hallmark card for thyroid Not that I know of, but I think there should be. ;)
