2007 Traffic Stats for ‘Moving to Freedom’

26 February 2008

This overlaps with the one year stats posted back in July 2007, but I’d like to switch to calendar year accounting, so there you go.

There are some numbers from last year that can serve as the 2006 traffic stats, although they include some traffic from January 2007 since I generated them for the six month anniversary of the site. If you think the 2007 numbers are humble, check out 2006. :-)

Once again, these statistics are provided by Google Analytics.

Visitors

Daily:

On the vertical axis, the middle bar is 500 visitors and the top is 1,000. The jump in February is thanks to Google searches for my “how to” articles about encryption and VNC, and increased image search hits.

Totals:

164,504	Visits
145,760	Absolute Unique Visitors
221,346	Pageviews
1.35	Average Pageviews
00:01:23	Time on Site
78.71%	Bounce Rate
88.61%	New Visits

So, about 400 unique visitors and 600 page views per day.

Where did you come from?

The top ten is the same from August 2006 - July 2007, with some minor changes in position:

Country		Visits
1.	United States	64,575
2.	Canada	12,794
3.	United Kingdom	12,405
4.	Germany	6,340

Who sent you?

I’m even more dependent on Google this time around: About 83% of my traffic came this way via Google searches.
