Annual “State of the Blog” post: 2010

This year our hits for the front page were down a little, but our overall number of hits on the blog were up significantly.  I think that is probably due to the fact that many people arrived at the blog from searches on things like CLEP preparation and Amigurumi.  Only hits to the main page are counted by the hit counter.  Here is the annual hit counter screen capture:

I have something called StatPress for the blog that shows my monthly stats.  For example, in March, we averaged 41 unique visitors per day and 297 page views per day (not including spiders and RSS feeds) or about 7 page views per visitor.  None of this counts the hits we get on the Betty Blonde comic or the main page.  All in all, I think we had a great year.

This year, starting today, we have added Google Analytics so we will be able to tell how we did with a little more precision.  We started this blog back in 2004, about the same time we started our homeschool (for the second time).  We did not know is was going to be so much fun.

I have been a little slack in my blogging over the last month or so because of a very pressing work schedule.  Kelly has done a much better job at posting than I.  A lot of other stuff has fallen to the wayside, too, but I am now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.  I have actively started to engage in a work on the GaugeCam project again and will be making some blog posts as well as writing some code for that project through the summer.

  1. Google Analytics is fun. I have it on The Healthy Homeschool. It can be quite addictive. Have you read my poem about blogging disease?

    That is a great poem Lynn. I wish I had time to be doing a little more posting myself. I definitely have the disease, but I think life is going to be VERY busy for the next few months. Thanks for checking in!
