Statistics
Since my website has been up for about six months now (and since I haven’t got anything else to post about just now), I thought I’d publicise some statistics about the website, provided by Awstats. Total number of visits since 1 April 2009 is now at just over 13000. For the first four months I had about 300+ unique visitors per month, but in September the figure doubled to just over 600 and looks to be settled around that figure now. The reason is probably that I started posting a bit more frequently on the blog due to the conference season. My stats analyser doesn’t give me an accurate number of unique visitors for the whole period, but it is probably between 1000-2000. The average duration of a visit is a meager 74 seconds, but that has been steadily increasing as well (I’m not sure how it’s calculated).
Here are the primary statistics:
Number of visits: 13033
Pages: 53346
Hits: 121357
Bandwidth: 2.57 GB
Statistics about the origin of the visitors followed by the number of viewed pages:
Great Britain (18541)
United States (11876)
Finland (5548)
European country (4036)
Russian Federation (2338)
France (1965)

Luxembourg (366)
Netherlands (332)

Some other papers have also been online briefly.
45.8% of visitors have been using Mozilla Firefox, 31% Internet Explorer, 11.1% Safari, and the rest are between Google Chrome, Opera and others.
74.5% of visitors have been using Windows, 16.4% Mac, 1.9% Linux, the rest are unknown.
I’ve got a bunch more, but these are the most interesting ones. We’ll see how they develop. If nothing else, I’d hope for a few more comments in the blog!



As requested
I think feed readers play havoc with blog statistics, and contribute to the small number of comments you get. I rarely click through to the actual page.
Thanks sis!
You’re probably right, I don’t know how reliable these statistics are, but at least the program is able to filter out bots and crawlers.
