Ok, so its been just over a month or so since I started inflicting my drivel upon the masses 60 people that have visited my blog. Why 60 people? Well thats how many unique visitors Google Analytics tells me have visited my site.
So it would seem that the vague plans that went something along the lines of:
Aren't actually going quite as well as one would hope. Or is it I haven't quite nailed the '???' portion. I'll have to work on that more next month.
Anyway, if you've read my earlier post A Month of Reader(ing) you'll know that I am a bit of a stats junkie. So since getting Analytics setup on my blog I've been eagerly checking the stats (although I must admit that the excitement is starting to dissipate) and thought I should put together a post of observations on the first month worth of stats that have been gathered. So, without further ado here we go:
Ok, there are the basic stats, obviously I need to push up time on site, bounce rate etc but given that there isn't really that much content and I don't even have other pages like an about me or anything like that it's not too bad at this stage. Let's get a bit further into the stats:
Awesome, especially when I'm pretty sure that all those visits from IE where me when I saw setting up and testing stuff on the site. I am very glad to see that my readers are on the good browsers :)
Perhaps, more interesting (well it is for me anyway) is looking at what posts got the most interest, in terms of page views etc and here is the info
So it would seem that in terms of page views my post about engineers sucking at usability got the most page views, but people spent a lot more time reading about how Apple product managers shake their heads alot perhaps because my argument was so awesome that my visitors where reduced to sitting and staring at the screen in awe, or more likely they where trying to make sense of my ramblings. Other popular posts include my thinly veiled excuse to look at XKCD comics and my rant about password security (which may have spawned a new project..... more on that later).
Obviously I need to keep exploring new content areas to determine what is most successful but given that the audience is probably full of like minded engineers I am just going to stick with what I know. That and I obviously need to work on my writing skills because as I am sure you'll all agree they could do with some improvement.
