Traffic Stats and Search Queries 2 comments
Just for fun, here are the recent traffic statistics for columbiaclosings.com. These are given in requests, and my understanding is that a page with multiple pictures will be ranked more highly since each request for the page generates a separate request for each picture. In each case, the most recent data is not accurate since the day, week, or month may not be over yet.
Daily Traffic:
Weekly Traffic:
Monthly Traffic:
For some reason, October was a very good month, and you can certainly see the impact of my three week vacation at the end of July and the start of August.
As to what draws people to the blog? Well, Godaddy's report claims that if a search engine gives query data, they list it in the report. I'm not sure what that means in terms of whether this includes google or yahoo or MSN or what. I particularly like numbers 10, 24 & 29:
