Blog View Stats for May

With the end of July fast approaching, it’s as good a time as any to catch up on the backlog of Blog View Stats and other statistical posts. Over the next few days I will catch up on the Blog View Stats and Radio ratings posts, and then, once I have caught up on them, it should be just about time for the next Blog View Stats post.

This post, as the title suggests, contains the stats for the month of May. Towards the end of May I started a new job and subsequently had minimal time to write any posts, let alone the lengthy Blog View Stats, and now as things are settling down, I can bring you these long overdue stats.

Blog View Stats for April

May has “only just begun”, to quote a famous song, which means it is time for the Blog View Stats for April.

The Webstat counter stopped counting due to the site receiving more than 20,000 page views for the month, but the Webstat reports for April can be found here, I just haven’t used them as the basis for this post. I have used AwStats (one of the many statistics services provided by my hosting provider) as the basis of most of the stats.

AwStats says that there were 55,916 page views for the month, a figure which I find highly dubious as this is far more than three times what Webstat reported for March. Even taking into account the fact that Awstats counts page views in the administration section of the site, I still find this number dubious, so I will settle on the 20,002+ figure provided by Webstat. The rest of the numbers provided by AwStats seem OK.

Therefore there were 20,002+ page views in March, up from 15,478 in March, and 5,476 visitors, up from 4,710 in March.

There were 9,670 views of the front page on all of its URLs.

The most popular articles were:

• Caz Stops Blogging
• No, I Am Not Going On Big Brother
• The Proof Is In The Pudding
• John B1_B5 Leads The 2CC Drive Show Spelling Competition and
• Samuel’s Blog Year In Review: November 2005

Google once again remained the most popular search engine with 91.8% of all search engine referrals coming from Google. Yahoo was next with 3%, and MSN was next on 1.6%.

The search keywords were mostly various combinations and misspellings of my name, and variations of “schnappi video”, “2UE Studio” and “Windiz Update”. Among the odd keywords were

• peep holes
• bango cricket
• 234 802 554 9993
• singing hallelujah even for a new site for you my
• samuel office live
• south australian peep holes
• traudle junge
• 100m race footage
• hole under canberra?
• sam goat boy
• blog fire alarm control panel
• show me the child at seven
• salad au lard
• password codes for volume 2ue
• convoluted answer to 2 2
• loopy music programme

Internet Explorer recorded a larger than usual drop, but remained the most popular browser with 57.4% of the readership, Firefox also had a loss (albeit a small one) and was next with 29.2%, Safari gained again to have 5.1%, Opera also recorded a rise reaching 1.4%, as did the Mozilla Suite which hit 1%. Konqueror & Netscape were both under 1% with the others all being under 0.1%.

Windows was the most popular Operating System, despite a minor drop, with 84.2% of the readership, followed by Mac, which also recorded a drop, with 9%, and Linux which climbed to 1%. The BSDs, Solaris and even OS/2 picked up most of the slack.

The countries report is unavailable this month.

The most popular files for the month were:

• The happy birthday music, downloaded 118 times.
• My conversation with John Kerr prior to the christmas cruise, downloaded 115 times.
• My somewhat outdated aircheck, downloaded 112 times.
• Mike Frame’s first moments on-air at Bunnings Belconnen in Real Player video format, downloaded 107 times.
• Theoriginal intro to Samuel’s Persiflage, downloaded 94 times.

The top referring sites for the month were:

• The Spin Starts Here: 2208 referrals
• Behind Big Brother Forums: 284 referrals
• GrodsCorp: 153 referrals.
• The RiotACT: 145 referrals.
• In My Shoes: 46 Referrals.

Australia, The US and Japan and The UK topped the Countries, with 83.76%, 5.59%, 4.52% and 2.09% of the readership respectively, which seems to show that people in countries outside of Australia are taking a growing interest in this blog.

Blog View Stats for February

Here we are again, with another look at the Blog View Stats for the previous month. I always enjoy this overview of the month, and I think it is really quite fascinating. Before I continue I must apoligise for the rather slow week we’ve just had here on Samuel’s Blog, I’ve been a bit busy and not really had any incentive to write an awful lot this week…we should have more in the next week.

I like the layout of last month’s stats that I’m sticking with that as a template, I will probably clean up the Samuel’s Persiflage stats next month as they will quicly become a mess if I continue to format them in this manner.

Anyway, on with the stats!

The Webstat reports for February can be found here

There were 18,327 page views in February, down from 20,002+ in January, and 5,025 visitors, down from 5,299+ in January.

There were 7,386 views of the front page on all of its URLs.

The most popular articles were:

• Why I Left RiotACT
• Bali Nine
• Here’s The Schnappi Video
• The 2CC Bunnings Broadcast (and most of my afternoon) and
• Larry Emdur Takes The Wheel

Google remained the most popular search engine, followed by Yahoo, and MSN….no surprises there!

The search keywords were again mostly various combinations and misspellings of my name. “schnappi video” came in 91 times for some reason. Among the odd keywords were

• mikes-johns
• smoothwallsamuel@gmail.com password
• “To initiate the process for resetting the password for your”
• channel 9 free cricket to watch
• ready presentation
• the first time i saw the cow
• summary of the day after tommorow
• woman for stuart bocking
• phil-ricky
• bunnings belconnen window
• Tianjin to Wenzhou
• Where is my schoolbag?
• netherlands law 2CC
• taking listeners beyond the ad break
• practice conversation in the restuarant
• what is the function of dettol?
• ç‡ƒæ²¹é™„åŠ è´¹ extra

Internet Explorer was the most popular browser with 65.36% of the readership, Firefox was next with 30.52%, and by Safari on 2.81%. It would appear that the gains by firefox were at the cost of all other browsers.

Windows was the most popular Operating System with 87.36% of the readership, followed by Mac with 10.78%, and Linux with 1.82%. It looks like a few people jumped from Windows to Mac, and Mac recorded it’s first double digit percentage. I was surprised to find good old fashioned UNIX with 4 page views and OS/2 with 1 page view, it’s amazing what people will use from time to time.

Australia, The US and The UK topped the Countries, with 88.53%, 3.26% and 2.72% of the readership respectively.

The most popular files for the month were:

• The the WMV version of the Wheel Of Fortune promo, downloaded 81 times.
• The original intro for Samuel’s Persiflage, downloaded 66 times.
• The WMV version of my weather picture on Prime Local News, downloaded 54 times.
• Remix of the Original Samuel’s Persiflage intro, downloaded 54 times.

Blog View Stats for January

Once again it is time to take our monthly look at the Blog View Stats, and once again Webstat stopped counting somewhere on January 30 as the site exceeded 20,000 page views for the month.

The most popular page was the home page, the most popular category was Samuel’s Artwork (despite the fact I still haven’t moved most of those pictures to this site), and the most popular article was my report (with plenty of pictures) on John Kerr’s Christmas Cruise and my day surrounding it.

Google remained the most popular search engine.

The searches which brought people here were rather varied, the list is topped by various searches for Schnappi and variations of my name. There were plenty of searches for information relating to John Kerr, George Gibson, Glenn Wheeler and various other radio personalities, someone wanting to know how good 20,000 page views is, a very strange search for “serial number do sam broadcast”, someone looking for their “stolen bicycle transmitter”, somebody who just had to know about “potential competitiors of nappies”, somebody wanted to cheat on a job application with a “citadel back office programmer resume”, and lots lots more.

Internet Explorer won the month with 61.24% of page views, followed by Mozilla Firefox with 28.22% and Apple Safari with 3.01%, and others.

Windows also topped the month with 93.41%, followed by Macintosh with 5.52% and Linux with 1.04%, and others.

The majority of readers were from Australia, 84.72% to be exact, followed by the US with 5.52% and the UK with 4.91%, and others.

The most popular files were my conversation with John Kerr on the morning of the Christmas Cruise with 88 downloads, the musical version of We Wish You A Merry Christmas with 80 downloads, and my chat with Lawsie with 53 downloads.

The top referring sites were The Spin Starts Here, The RiotACT, and Interbreeding

Samuel’s Persiflage #1 recorded 80 downloads.

Blog View Stats for November

It’s that time of the month when the statistics get rolled out again. Below you will find my summary of the stats, and most of the source material can be found at https://samuelgordonstewart.com/wp-content/blogstats/2005/november/

Webstat stopped counting about midway through the second last day of the month as the site exceeded the montly page views for a free Webstat account. We still have a pretty good overview of the month though.

There were 20,002 page views from 4160 visitors, a new record on this blog, far exceeding the previous month’s 2,571 page views from 818 visitors.

The day with the most page views was Thursday the 10th, with 2,243 page views, that day also had the most visitors with 475.

The most popular article was When You Let The Loonies Out Of The Asylum… with a total of 1000 views (including the multiple URLs).

Google was by far the most popular search engine, with more than 90% of all search engine referrals coming from Google’s many sites.

samuel gordon stewart was the most popular search query, accounting for 74 of the referrals, followed by schnappi video on 68 and rex hunt bashed on 14

Internet Explorer accounted for 62.65% of all traffic (C’mon people, at least try Firefox, I’ve taken Firefox’s goodness for granted lately, but I’ve just been subjected to Internet Explorer again, and is it painful or what?), Firefox followed on 30.98% & Safari was next with 4.06%

Windows was the Operating System of choice for many, accounting for 92.16%, followed by Macintosh on 6.24% and Linux on 1.58%

Australia is still the dominent country when it comes to the readership of this blog, 91.48% of all readers are from Australia, the other countries don’t even make double digits, the UK (2.97%) and the US (1.76%) are the only others to make it above 1%.

AwStats tells me that my conversation with John Laws topped the file downloads, it was downloaded 312 times. Also popular was the last published (and now quite outdated) aircheck from myself, downloaded 242 times. The highlights package of “32 Musical People” rounded out the top three with 87 downloads.

AwStats also tells me that the top three referring websites for the month were, The Spin Starts Here with 3259 referrals, The RiotACT with 146 referrals and Loadedog with 27.

Blog View Stats for October

Usually I would have done this closer to the beginning of the month, but there were so many big stories that it slipped my mind. But here it is, in a “better late than never” sense.

The number of visitors was 818, up from 556 in September, the page views however went down to 2571, from 2807 in September.

The front page measured a total of 1056 page views, comprising 875 to https://samuelgordonstewart.com, 133 to https://www.samuelgordonstewart.com, 45 to https://samuelgordonstewart.com/index.php & 3 to https://www.samuelgordonstewart.com/index.php. In total, the front page made up 41.07% of the monthly page views.

The most popular category was Linux.Conf.Au and the most popular article was Chief Turnip Acts Like Goose.

Google remained the most popular search engine, with it’s Australian incarnation delivering 47.26% of search visits alone.

Searches for John B1_B5 accounted for just over 20% of the searches for the month. Others of note include quite a few various searches for me, 2UE Stuart Bocking (who has now been removed from weekend nights on 2UE), 2CC Reunion, 2CC Birthday, Mike Jeffreys, Jingles For Daylight Savings (huh? Anybody want to help me understand why anybody would be searching for that), and the list goes on and on and on and on and on.

Internet Explorer delivered most of the people here, 66.82% in fact. Firefox was next with 30.61%. I suppose, now that this blog is being visited by more people, it is quite understandable that Internet Explorer is featuring more prominently. I still think Firefox is better though.

Windows was the operating system of choice, with 92.07% of visitors using it. Linux and Macintosh were the other two recorded.

81.15% of visitors were from Australia, with the US, New Zealand, Great Britain, France and Germany rounding out the countries above 1%.

Top referrer for the month was The RiotACT with 61 referrals, although I expect the number to drop over the next month as I have decided to stop posting there. Next up was Margo Kingston’s Webdiary’s list of links to articles on anti-terrorism laws with 18 and Loadedog.com’s links to Canberra blogs and bands was the third of the top three with 8.

The video of the horrid amount of noise ACTION’s green buses make was the most requested file, it was requested 18 times. One of the old 2CC Music Radio jingles was next with 12 requests, and the MP4 version of the video of Rob Fulton winning a million dollars on Who Wants To Be A Millionare with 11 requests rounds out the top three files of the month.

Blog View Stats for September

Yet again the number of page views and visitors on Samuel’s Blog has risen. The page views went up astronomically from 732 in August to 2807 in September, this can partially be attributed to the record number of loony commenters. The visitors also went up, but not as severely, from 306 in August to 556 in September.

Other items of note from the September stats:

• Visitor numbers were fairly consistent each day throughout the month, although spikes in the page views can be seen on the days where lots of comments were left
• The most popular article was the Pictures Of 2UE’s new studios, possibly due to John B1_B5 mentioning it to Mike Frame on-air, or possibly because it contained a bunch of irrelevant comments.
• The most popular category was the TV/Radio/Media category.
• Google remained the most popular search engine, and some interesting localised version popped up.
• John B1_B5 once again topped the search terms, closely followed by a few version of “Kelly Underwood 3AW” and Mike Frame made it into the list for the first time.
• Internet Explorer was the most used browser this month, I did notice some spikes in IE usage during periods of heavy loony comments…Firefox, Netscape, Safari, Mozilla & Opera rounded out the list.
• Windows obviously continues to dominate the Operating System list, with Macintosh & Linux also in the list.
• Close to 95% of the readership is located in Australia.

As we have reached the end of the first full month of paid hosting, I am able to bring you some referer stats as well, the top referers were:

1. http://the-riotact.com 62
2. http://canofcornforyou2.blogspot.com 5
3. http://technorati.com/tag/radio 5

Blog View Stats for August

Alrighty then, it’s time for the monthly wrap-up of the previous month’s statistics.
Of particular interest to me:

• Firefox won the month with 53.42% of the readership using it.
• The number of visitors and page views appeared to increase after the site moved to it’s current location.
• Regular Commenter John_b1_b5 was the most common search term used to get here
• Somebody who can’t spell wanted to cheat at a school assignment “simple assay about my favourite sport…”
• A bunch of people came here for Schnappi info and Kelly Underwood info
• The “Samuel Blog 2CC” searcher is still lurking in the wings (please contact me, I would love to know why you chose that search term)
• And the home page for the new site had more visitors in it’s short time online than the old site’s index page had all month, 196 to 159

You can find all of the August 2005 stats here.

Blog View Stats for July

Due to inane difficulties with images and formatting, the previous post containing the stats from July has been removed, and I have instead uploaded the various reports in PDF format to http://www.ibiblio.org/netsec/misc/blogstats/July2005/

Enjoy!

Blog View Stats

Another Exciting Change on Samuel’s Blog!

As some of you may have noticed, you can view stats for this blog by clicking on the little graph picture under the heading “Blog View Stats”. This service is provided by Nedstat, however I have noticed some minor problems with it…the major ones being that a number of the stats only account for the last 100 page views, and that there is no easy way to see what search phrases are being used to find the site…I get keywords and referring URL’s which is a pain in the neck.

I have now added WebStat monitoring to the site as well, the free counter isn’t as detailed as nedstat, but it makes life a lot easier for me as I can see some meaningful overall reports whilst letting nedstat do it’s recent trends thing (and make pretty pictures on the fly).

Both the detailed recent nedstat stats, and the meaningful long term stats are availabe from the sidebar. Note that the Webstat stats are new and won’t be detailed for a little while…but they are there anyway, enjoy!

Page Views

Whoops, we exceeded 20,000 page views again. This time it happened at 2:52:32PM on ANZAC Day. This severely skews the blog view stats collected by Webstat for the month (free Webstat accounts stop counting after 20,000 page views), and as such I will be using the AwStats report generated by my webhost (Bluehost) as the basis for just about everything in the Blog View Stats which would normally be handled by Webstat this month. I will still provide the Webstat PDFs.

I am not currently in a financial position to throw money at upgrading the Webstat counter (which is, in my view, technically superior to the web server log analysing statistics tools (such as Webstat), but when I am in that position, it will be near the top of my priorities.
