We want site stats,
Give us site stats.
Oh, we need site stats -
We gotta have site stats!

March SUS are up!

We had hits from 50 countries, plus Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the European Union. An estimated 11.9% of users bookmarked the site.

Site Usage Statistics are here for February. It was a great month, as we moved into the top 1% of blogs in the blogosphere, according to Technorati!

When viewing these SUS, bear in mind that there are 10% fewer days in February than in most other months:

We had hits from 61 countries, plus Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the European Union. An estimated 14.5% of users bookmarked the site.

Here's the SUS for January. I'm only going to list the current month plus three months back, because if I try to put more in, the table gets overly crowded. As always, web crawling robots and other spiders have been filtered out of the results presented here by our site host; this should reflect only actual people visiting the site.

It looks like visits have stabilized between December and January. I'm really happy with the traffic to the website - back in my CMU days I didn't get nearly this many hits, and that page was even tied into a major university. A big thanks to our readers!

We had hits from 60 countries, plus Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the European Union. An estimated 12.3% of users bookmarked the site.

Rick reminded me that I hadn't posted December's site usage statistics . . . so here they are!

We had hits from the following localities this month:

United States (57553), United Arab Emirates (1318), Unknown (1636), Australia (618), China (394), South Korea (306), European Union (521), Russian Federation (149), Japan (131), Spain (109), Norway (149), Canada (494), Hong Kong (90), Taiwan (88) Brazil (105), Germany (140), Italy (105), Thailand (59), Great Britain (129), Saudi Arabia (60), Mexico (66), Malaysia (26), Philippines (26), Argentina (26), Greece (22), India (15), Belgium (38), Finland (14), Netherlands (56), Switzerland (11), Indonesia (31), Austria (30), Colombia (8), Israel (8), Chile (8), Vietnam (8), Poland (7), Sweden (6), Luxembourg (19), Turkey (5), Kuwait (5), Kazakhstan (5), Sri Lanka (5), Peru (4), France (4), Czech Republic (4), Senegal (4), Algeria (4), Singapore (46), Denmark (20), Burkina Faso (2), Guatemala (2), Ukraine (2), Latvia (45), New Zealand (26), Antigua and Barbuda (20), Macau (1), Yugoslavia (25), Bulgaria (1), South Africa (1), Venezuela (1), Portugal (20), Egypt (1), Paraguay (1), and Togo (36).

We garnered hits from search engines on 310 different search phrases and 706 search terms. An estimated 14.5% of unique users bookmarked the site.

I am switching over to a new statistics aggregator, one that will give somewhat more accurate results. It automatically filters out robots, spiders, etc., so that the statistics it gives are more useful (it should include only actual people that have viewed the page). Because the old statistics included robots, they can't be readily compared to this month's stats. For that reason I am including the correct, filtered statistics for the past few months, as provided by this new aggregator.

These are the stats as of 11/29/06 (I will update with the 11/30 stats when I get back from New York):

We had hits from the following localities this month:

United States (45159), Canada (2390), European Union (147), Australia (200), Great Britain (68), Spain (51), Brazil (25), China (24), Netherlands (53), Japan (14), Luxembourg (14), Germany (13), South Korea (12), Saudi Arabia (18), Italy (30), Russian Federation (9), Taiwan (9) Indonesia (8), Turkey (13), United Arab Emirates (34), India (24), Singapore (66), Norway (4), Kuwait (4), Argentina (29), Mexico (3), Hong Kong (3), Peru (3), Venezuela (3), Portugal (2), France (25), Mozambique (2), Belgium (2), Vietnam (2), South Africa (2), Egypt (7), Malaysia (1), Romania (1), Denmark (1), Columbia (1), Thailand (1), Finland (1), Kenya (1), Senegal (1), Chile (1), Greece (1), Yugoslavia (1), Austria (1), Togo (25), Pakistan (27), New Zealand (1), Unknown (2390).

We garnered hits from search engines on 224 different search phrases and 587 search terms. An estimated 14.5% of unique users bookmarked the site.

We nearly doubled our number of visits from September to October, and saw our unique visitors increase by 55%! We did that while serving fewer files, which I attribute to our traffic switching from checking out the main page to reading the blog more regularly. The October stats:

1044 visits from 485 unique visitors
27,046 hits
19,457 files, constituting .47 GB of data
3471 pages

User origins in order of number of users (number of hits in parentheses):

United States (19625)
Unknown (1392)
Non Profit Organization (411)
Old Style Arpanet (214)
Hong Kong (80)
Netherlands (56)
Japan (36)
Australia (17)
Taiwan (17)
Chile (13)
Germany (10)
Norway (6)
Great Britain (6)
European Union (3)
South Africa (1)

I want to thank everybody for reading the website and making it a success in its first month! During September, the doublesingularity.com domain:

Registered 47,127 hits
Served 26,215 files, 4324 of which were pages, constituting .6 GB of data
Logged 661 visits from 311 unique visitors

We had the following averages and maximums:

Though some of these are obviously random web crawlers and robots, we are getting a number of hits from around the world. Here's the breakdown by user origin:

Unresolved/Unknown (52.16%)
US Educational (20.13%)
Network (17.85%)
US Commercial (9.25%)
Netherlands (0.32%)
Old style Arpanet (arpa) (0.20%)
Seychelles (0.04%)
China (0.02%)
Non-Profit Organization (0.02%)
Belgium (0.01%)
Canada (0.01%)

From Rick and myself, thanks again for reading, and we hope you keep coming back as we continue to add more content. One of these days, Rick may even put up a web page for the domain that he half owns. Or maybe he'll post to his blog in October. Ooh, the anticipation is killing me!
