CULTURE/SOCIETY: My Blog and How It is Visited

This is me, OlderMusicGeek, writing, not a reprinted article. :)

I use a site called sitemeter. It's pretty sweet. It let's me know how many visits and page views are at my site each week. I can even see where in the world the viewers are from.

Surprise, surprise, most are from the United States. Though I get a few popping in from other places, mostly I think through search engines like google. I've listed before some of the weird searches that made my site pop up.

Yeah, this site even shows what links brought people to my site. Here's the most common ones. Number 1 and 2 are a big surprise. - I'm sure they're the link I always put at the end of my letters.

1. http://oldermusicgeek.blogspot.com/ (69 hits)

As you can see, my site is a heavily visited spot on the internet!

But there is two times a year when it is visited a lot more than the other times! October and December!

During the past year, except for October and December, my site had between 46 and 96 visits during a month - and between 52 and 148 page views during a month.

But in October last year, it had 178 visits and 315 page views. And in December last year, it had 176 visits and 235 page views. -- Apparently, most people like Halloween better than Christmas - or at least my Halloween posts better than my Christmas posts. Oh well, I'll live!

I can't tell you how things are going this October, because my temporary change - for Halloween - to Beautiful Nightmare's Stupid Stuff has messed sitemeter up, and it list my hits as zero. :)

But it's cool with me that my site is visited more in October and December. I enjoy making the Halloween and Christmas blogs. Those are my two favorite holidays! So enjoy.
