Of course, that excludes the RSS readers. In other stats:
49.5% of visitors here use Firefox 1 and 1% use Firefox 3 [which I use];
60% use Java 1.5;
33% use a 1024x768 [I use 1680x1050];
75% use 32 bit;
92.6% use English but 3.2% speak French and 2.1% Spanish;
52% use WinXP and 18.6% MacOSX [which I use];
39% are U.K. and 35% U.S. but that’s reversed in the past 15 minutes;
In the last 100, there’ve been 51 separate entry pages;
I get 1.4 views per visit
Most blog stats are pointless. I copuld not give a damn about the OS or browser people use, let alone the monitor resolution!
ReplyDeleteIt seem to feed some sort of techie need, do you think?
ReplyDeleteLies, damned lies and statistics.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the uses of stats for your blog anyway? In business it's so you can change if necessary to meet your customers requirements. But do bloggers ever modify their blogs after analysing the stats and find most of their viewers use 800x600 or something?
Most are just interested in the hits to see how popular they are and page views so they can see what are the popular posts so they can write morelike that. That I can understand.
Now that is interesting over 45% of my visitors are different versions of firefox 3... what does that say about me!!!
ReplyDeleteMy most interesting statistic at the moment I can't publish online!
The thing is, as Lord T says, why would we wish to know those things? Maybe we have lots of spare time on our hands.
ReplyDeleteThe second evolution post was predictably ignored because it involved very basic questions that needed much thought and research to answer correctly in any depth.
ReplyDeleteSeemingly your audience is mostly comprised of fellow site operators who have their own agenda, and precious little time left for deep questions that may be fringe to their main interests.
Such subjects have been a long term (multi-decades) interest of mine, so I recognise the complexity of any answer worthy of the name.
I also recognise the time it would require to correctly deliver such an answer.
Stats?
ReplyDeleteI have more fingers on one hand than visitors each day to all of my blogs.
