By a strange quirk, it was exactly a year ago that I started to receive stats on the number of visits to this site. And yesterday the page views went through the 5000 mark. I have earlier reviewed my first full year, a year of blogs, but I only had 4 months of stats to work with. Since then the number of postings has doubled and the balance of postings has changed, it is more about places visited than politics or people but then I have been working a lot more over the past 8 months than in the previous year.
The posting on the GR20 walk continues to be the main driver with almost 20% of all page views and this attracts the biggest share of hits from around the world - it was published just a year ago. The series on Shetland have also collectively reached this level although there are 21 postings at present. After this postings on munro walks and the lake district are well read and then there are a curious group of blogs such as Grandad, Elections, Waltzer Economy and 2011: the year of reckoning which often appear in the top ten postings for a month. The recent holidays in Granada and Mallorca have been well read. Every few weeks someone somewhere seems to find a couple of hours to read twenty or thirty postings but people typically dip into 1,2, or 3 postings.
Unsurprisingly the most hits came from the UK but this is now down to 67% , followed by the United States with 9%, and then France, Canada and Germany all on 2.5%. Russia, the Netherlands, Italy and Romania also exceeded 1% of all hits and the number of site visits from India, China, New Zealand, Spain, Brazil and the Scandinavian countries are all increasing.
The monthly total of hits are surprisingly uniform at just over 400 a month. The highest was in September 2010 during my daughter's wedding and it has only once fallen below 350 a month. On a daily basis the highest number of hits was 82 following a reference to the blog in a promote Shetland publication. It generally averages out at about 14 a day with Sunday being the day of least interest.
