Blogging

Blogging.

Someone asked me recently how the Blog was going. My answer was that it received fewer than one hundred visits a day. On reflection, that was not a complete answer. Site Meter, which provides the counter that you see at the foot of the right-hand column on the screen, sends me an analysis each week. You may be interested in what it reveals. Last Sunday, part of the report was:

                  Corruption-free Anguilla                  

                    -- Site Summary ---                     

          Visits

            Total ........................ 4,490            

            Average per Day ................. 89            

            Average Visit Length .......... 6:37            

            This Week ...................... 624            

          Page Views

            Total ....................... 15,054            

            Average per Day ................ 260            

            Average per Visit .............. 2.9            

            This Week .................... 1,823            

What that means was that when the total number of visits since the Blog began was 4,490, there was an average of 89 persons visiting each day. On average, each visitor stayed for 6 minutes and 37 seconds. That week, there had been 624 visitors to the site.

Site Meter gives a lengthy score of the visits hour by hour, which I shall not reproduce. Suffice it to say that those 4,490 visitors read a total of 15,054 pages. On average, 260 pages were read each day. Each visitor went to an average of 2.9 pages. That may mean that about 100 persons visit the Blog each week, read the new post, and re-visit two others. It may also mean that most readers visit only twice a week and read the three post that have been made since their last visit, in which case there are about 300 of you out there regularly reading the Blog.

The busiest times for visits over the week (over any 2 hour period) was after dinner when there were 69 out of the 624 visits. Joint second was in the early morning, before work, and during the lunch period, when there were 66 visits on each occasion.

Thank all of you who visit, and especially those who fearlessly go onto “Comments” and leave your anonymous comment on what you read.
