so I did STATISTICS! to it
I did some stats tonight on my last few band blog posts, the ones that make up most of my typing output these days, and get echoed here? A couple of really interesting things popped out.
1. IPv4 addresses are no longer useful for identifying uniques or non-uniques. Almost completely orthogonal at this point, as ISPs squeeze more and more routing through fewer virtualised IPs. I have vast swathes of obvious and clear uniques coming from single IPs.
2. NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY, clicks out of Facebook. In my last two weeks, I have one Facebook-sourced load of a non-preview picture. One. Twitter's not much better, but I didn't expect it to be a traffic source. I need to completely rethink how I (try to) use Facebook.
3. I still have a lot of RSS users! Yay!
4. HI TUMBLR! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CARED BUT I LOVE YOUUUUUUUU! <3
5. Dreamwidth matters! Yay!
6. Livejournal matters a lot. Still. HI GUYS! I'm surprised too! A regular subset of people are popping in at journal top level, but most is friendslists and hey, did you know friendsfriends still gets used? Surprise!
Counting only non-bot pageviews which view the post closely enough that non-headline images are loaded, a popular post will have well over 400 unique viewers - Montréal et Racines pulled in 437. A less popular post - something technical, like the DIY series - will pull in less, around 250. The average is a bit over 300.
What percentage of people are actually reading, I can't say.
I really have no idea what Facebook is for at this point. I need to write that "how Facebook ruins everything" post. Maybe next week.
