Traffic Report March 2009
Let me start by saying that these statistics don’t tell the whole story. There are four measures of traffic. Unique visitors, Total visits, Page views and hit. The first three are self explanatory. Hit are “each file sent to a browser by a web server is an individual hit.” Obviously hits are a very inaccurate measure of traffic. The month of March saw 4,360 unique visitors, 10,988 total visits, 68,498 page views and 251,815 hits. Numbers were up significantly from the first two months of the year.
The following is based on page views and is most certainly not an accurate measure of traffic between the blogs. How inaccurate is this? I won’t bore you with the exact details of how this is calculated, but I took the time to calculate the difference between page views of a blog and unique visitors. The numbers are way off. I’m thinking margin of error of at least 10%. Having said that, it is still fun to posts these graphs and let the trash talking ensue.
This will be the last traffic report for a while. After spending sometime going through these numbers and comparing them to ‘Gate’s numbers, I have decided to find an entirely new method of tracking traffic. If you have suggestions, let me know.
It should be added that about one third of the total traffic is generated by five ip addresses.
Calling shenanigans.
I think the tracking my host uses is just incredibly flawed. Between Google Analytics and their method there are huge discrepancies.
Not Last!
I like what I see, but I’m surprised to see us in first. We have been putting up quite a few posts but I didn’t expect this… Based on my Google Analytics report we are almost doubling the rate we held last year… It could put us up there but the margin of error is something to take into consideration
It looks like you may just have to collect Google Analytics reports and go from them.
Yeah, I think you are right.
Y’all just need to step your weak game up.
