BLOWING MY OWN TRAFFIC HORN
January 27th 2010 05:51
Apparently if a reader types in a web address, uses their favourites list, or clicks on a link in an email (like most subscribers do) they won't register as a click (link) reader. Therefore the true number of real people who are reading your blog is somewhere between the number of click (link) readers and the number of individual readers and is usually closer to the latter.
I received the following traffic statistics today, which is from the proceeding 24 hours’ traffic. To give you an idea of Horrorphile – Pleasure of Nightmares’s popularity, the average Orble blog received a hit count of 17 and the individual readers clocked in at 6, so I guess I’m not looking too shabby with yesterday's 5229 Individual Readers and a Hit Count of nearly 11,000.
The most frequently visited movie reviews were for Cannibal Holocaust (205 individual readers), the documentary The Meth Epidemic (90 readers), the remake of Lolita (61 readers), Coppola’s Dracula (55 readers), and The Exorcist (54 readers). Doesn't sound like many, but when you include all the other clicked on posts and categories it adds up.
Cannibal Holocaust and The Meth Epidemic have been popular for awhile now (predictably Paranormal Activity was very popular for awhile too, but has recently dropped off). As far as comments go my Debate Battle! Vampires vs. Werewolves still receives comments almost daily, more than two years after I first posted it. The posts that featured the tattooed Zombie Boy and a teaser for Lucy Lui getting her gear off as a vampire in Rise have been floating frequently in the top twenty, as are the individual posts I did for those amusing name generators (werewolf, demon, and vampire).
My Orble traffic stats for Tuesday February 26th revealed that Horrorphile was not only the top blog in Film, but the top blog amongst Individual Readers, and I was the number one Orble Writer too, so of course, I couldn’t resist blowing my own horn. Admittedly I've had a higher Hit Count before, and more Individual Readers, but yesterday for the first time I was #1 across the board! Woo hoo!
Thanks to all my True Believers! Now I just need to get all my subscribers, and anyone else, to vote for their favourite vampire movie! If you’re cyber-shy and don’t want to register, you can vote anonymously, however you still have to use the comment section to do so.
