2011 in Review: The 'Riting and the Randomness

Posted on 05:00 by Guy
The books of 2011 got two posts this year, but everything else on the blog goes into this great big link-a-palooza. Let's start with more numbers! (All stats via Google Analytics unless otherwise stated)


But first, speaking of stats...in case you missed them, I posted 2011 book stats yesterday. The 2011 "Books of the Year" post will be up tomorrow!

By The Numbers: 5 Stats
Total visitors in 2011: 15,400
Unique visitors in 2011: 9,860
Total pageviews in 2011: 24.035
Average pages per visit: 1.56
Subscribers: Somewhere around 500. I think. I know the number has dropped this year since I set up a Facebook page for the blog and moved the feed over there--I have more FB friends than the page has “likes”--but it’s probably a more accurate reflection of readership.

Bonus Statistical oddity: Blogger’s own stats, which are about double what Google Analytics says and make even less sense, suggest total annual pageviews closer to 47,000. I’m not sure what to believe.
