Would this blog consider making its traffic stats public
Sitemeter and Statcounter are two good tools
It would be helpful for the readers and contributors to see what forum topics are big and what keywords bring people to the various posts
On the blog side, it would be intriguing to see how well the traffic stands up against the other Technorati top 100 blogs who have made their stats public

Also, it would be intriguing to see which areas of the globe visitors are coming from during different parts of the day.
Web 2.0 really is about openness, the old fashion fear of exposing traffic sources really has no basis for continuing.
It is not necessary to respond to this post – just consider it.
Also, several members of this blog ALSO have blogs in the top 100 – they too might want to consider making their traffic public.
WHY DO PEOPLE STILL FEEL THE NEED TO HIDE THIS INFO???????????? |
Actually if you click on the "advertise here" button to the right, you will see some very public stats :) Those are from Google Analytics, by the way, so you often can't compare it to statistics from other vendors, as they use other implementations.
Over the last 10 days, these were the most popular posts:
- Google 1407 http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-10-03-n60.html

The blog frontpage and the forum frontpage are also in the top 10. The peak traffic these last 10 days was October 4th with 36,459 visits, according to Google Analytics, not counting the RSS feed, or some more exotic pages on the blog (as not every single one includes the tracker snippet). The traffic low in this period was 10,463 on September 29th (weekends are usually lower). The daily average visits varies, but since July 1st it's an average of 15,951/ day (again not counting the blog feed). (Note visits!= page views...) Traffic didn't drop since the move from blog.outer-court.com, by the way, so that should tell you something about the accuracy of the Technorati 100, which since the move kicked out the blog :) |
