I do remember refreshing a lot on Tuesday… Are 200 of those hits from Canada?

Good question.. That chart is the total unique counts since the site launched in November. I haven't written a report to count the particular of visits for a particular day. But I do like the idea.

And there's also this…

…which will give you a linguistic sense of our visitors.

DON'T JUDGE ME BASED ON THE TRAFFIC. THE SITE GETS NO PROMOTION. :-D

You seem to be oddly popular in Canada. Just taking the two largest numbers there, since that's close to 100% of your traffic, based on population I'd expect 10% Canada, 90% US, plus you live in the US and therefore likely know more people there, so it should be more skewed toward US. I think my obsessive browser refreshing is messing with your stats. Or it's tism. Let's blame tism.

You're also far more widely read in France and Russia than I would have imagined. Well, assuming the language setting reflects the person's location. I'm assuming Americans aren't going to be using Canadian English, but perhaps you know a substantial number of Canada-US immigrants. More data required.

Stats, especially ones that really try to define the visitor, are generally just best guesses. I do know that you and tism are in MT but often reported as being in PT.

More fun facts: 6 AM and 10 PM are the most popular hours and the 22nd is the most popular day of the month, followed closely by the 24th.

I would wager between you, tism, jimi and myself we make up the majority of the visitors with the odd Google search result straggler from Russian speaking Muscat thrown in for good measure.

One more data point definition: all stats are based on a combo of unique IP and unique host.

:)

I've been informed that I should have said tism instead of using real names in my last comment… Can you edit it?

Whoa… "SMTP Error"

Re: tism — 1984'ed!

Re: SMTP — ya, my host's email server has its eyes crossed the last few days. :-(

Thanks!
I'm used to being 1984'd. My catchphrase at work is "we've always been at war with Oceania".

i read this when it was fresh and was pleasantly amused at the Oceania comment. it' sounded too techy at the time for me to enter the phray.

Basically I was just gabbing about the stats here on the site. I like to nerd out on data.

In related news… I like looking at reports because they're understandable and don't talk back, unlike some people I work with.
