Despite all the techie stuff I think is more interesting, this blog evidently remains The Source for bed bug and appliance repair help:
I can’t explain the popularity of the End of an Era: Knights in Shining Armor post, either, but it must have SEO out the wazoo.
Who knew I have the definitive dragonfly and Giant Swallowtail Butterfly pictures?
It’d be nice to get Slashdotted or Hackaday-ed for something techie, rather than bedbugs again …
Surprisingly, most visitors arrive from image searches, rather than text searches:
The largest non-search-engine referrer was Google Reader at 4000, followed by a Lifehacker traffic spike at 3000, and then everything else. As far as search engines go: Google and debris.
In round numbers, 650 visitors get 1000 total views per day; the overall views/visitor runs around 1.75, which I interpret to mean most folks find exactly what they want on the first page. As nearly as I can tell from the daily stats, 300 of you visit the main page and post-of-the-day, plus another 100 click in from the RSS feed. The numbers don’t add up, primarily because RSS feed clicks don’t seem to enter into their totals.
It’s definitely not a get-rich-quick scheme, that’s for sure…
It’s still fun and I really do use this blog as my notebook: some of those searches come from me. I appreciate you folks helping me out with useful comments and suggestion: thanks!
