Blog Stats

So I discovered the other day that Google keeps records of various blog stats. Some of them are actually pretty interesting (and random). So here is a sampling for your reading pleasures.

I have received 564 unique hits since beginning my blog.

The majority of those hits come from the US (248) with Canada placing 2nd with 134 hits. The rest are the expected countries, UK, France, Italy, Germany and Russia. However two notables of 33 hits from Serbia and 28 from Singapore (Random!)

78% of my readers access with internet explorer (yuck!) with Firefox, Opera, Safari and Netscape (this still exists???) all come in with single digits and Chrome and Sleipnir (no idea) both with <1%

Windows dominates with 91% of hits, followed by 6% from Mac, 2% from Linux <1% from both Blackberry and Iphone.

My biggest month was September 2010 which received 249 hits.

Easily my most popular post is :) with a strong 137 hits.

Most of my audience finds my blog through referring sites (mainly other blogs I visit and comment in, as well as facebook and a few random sites I have never heard of [including a random russian dating network site]). I have a smattering of other hits from varous google searches which include: "I hate CTV", "Wendell Berry", "Andrew Cockell", "Georgia Tech causing robot apocalypse" and "ronald arkin" - I have no idea who that is.

I hope you found this as fascinating as I did...or kind of wierd.
