I love looking at my stats, so I'm going to share some with you....

Yes, third place with over 100 views has nothing to do with the subject of this blog.
Traffic sources
COTH is obviously the big one with over 2000 views. Google is next with over 250 views, then Insanity in the Middle with about 150 views.
Now for my favorite part... Search Keywords.. I wish I'd kept record of these, because Blogger only shows me the top ten of all time. There have been some interesting ones, but I can't remember them.... So these are the top 10 things that people put into a search engine that leads them to this blog.

I have gotten some truly amazing search keywords turn up my blog. I'll have to do a post on it, too. Some of them include "woman showing naked boobs" (pretty sure I keep things covered...?) and "laughing behind".
ReplyDeletePlease do! I haven't gotten anything that good, now I'm jealous!
DeleteFun! Hilarious that the poor bald guy is getting so many hits.
ReplyDeleteI keep getting myself as a source for traffic... do you know how to turn that off? I've selected not to count my page views but nothing seems to change...
Are you getting your blog URL as a source? If so, I think that's when someone has your page bookmarked or types the address in the address bar.. they're not clicking a link to get to your blog, they're going directly there. I'm not sure if that's right, but it seems likely, lol.
DeleteOh! Okay, sweet. Thanks for clearing that up, haha.
DeleteI love looking at blog stats. Fun times :)
ReplyDeleteVery fun!
