Blog Stats
Perhaps this is something that only interests web designers, but I confess to being fascinated by traffic statistics. Since Musicscribe and Averyfineline both posted their recent numbers, and it seems to be a slow news day (so far), for whatever it’s worth, here you go:
- Yesterday: 2,985 unique visits / 6,872 page views
- Last Week: 16,698 unique visits / 44,369 page views
- This month to date: 42,911 unique visits / 104,650 page views
- Last month: 52,377 unique visits / 117,733 page views
- Year to date: 225,799 unique visits / 458,016 page views
- Total to date: 641,252 unique visits / 1,072,595 page views
When I started this website, I hoped that one day I could number my daily readership in the hundreds. Numbers like these boggle my mind.
Thank you all for coming back time and again…and giving me a good reason to do the same.
EDIT (5/21/08, 12:39 PM): It just occurred to me to post total visits / page views since the start of this blog. Turns out I just passed 1 million page views a few weeks ago and didn’t even know it.

Congrats, Daniel! One Million page views is a LOT! I appreciate all the work and effort that goes in your blog.

Just goes to show that people on the internet just don’t have enough to do, haha.

A great accomplishment! I like being one of the readers to see your blog grow with each posting and comment. Keep up the good work, Daniel!

I actually wondered about these stats before you posted them. Just out of curiosity, do you have a number for how many people have commented or registered to comment on here?
Comment by Daniel J. Mount (May 29, 2008, 12:10 pm)
You don’t have to register to comment, so I do not know. Some blogs do have that, and I could enable it, but I don’t want to put people to that trouble.
I can tell you, though, that there have been 4161 comments on 772 posts and 6 pages.

OK. That is sufficiently interesting.
It appears that you have to moderate a person’s first comment, and I just thought that that might create a list.
Comment by Daniel J. Mount (May 29, 2008, 12:16 pm)
Yes, I do. But the only way I know of to create a list is either (a) have everyone set up accounts or (b) go through and count. And unfortunately (or is that fortunately?), I have too much going on to have time for option b!
