Site Stats

I thought it would be interesting to report the site statistics since relaunching AlexLaird.net (finally) on February 17th, 2008 with a new look and feel. I also switched servers on my blog, instead of hosting via blogger at blogspot.alexlaird.net, the blog is now hosted via Surpass Hosting (as is the rest of my site) and managed directly by ... Myself :D. No more limits! I can do whatever I want with it now.

Two whole months have elapsed, and I finally got around to checking my site meter. Here are the fancy-pants statistics.

  • There have been over 2,500 unique page visits to AlexLaird.net/blog. Even more have read from the Feed, so that would be all you faithful Facebookers and Google Readers out there who read it the lame way without actually visiting my site.
  • Surprisingly, over 6% of these visit last longer than an hour!
  • Over 400 of these hits come from Cedarville University's campus. There also appears to be a large cluster of readers in Virginia State, San Fransisco, Germany, Australia, Canada (sorry about that one post, guys ...), and Amsterdam. I don't know how I acquired such a reader group, but thanks for showing interest.
  • I'm proud to report that 40% of my visitors view this site with a Mac. Only 38% use Windows, and, sadly, only 0.2% have viewed while on Linux.
  • Still, and going to show that Safari is not the most popular browser on Mac, only 27.4% of you Mac users are using Safari. 31.8% of visitors use Internet Explorer.
  • The largest amount of Search Engine references for me comes from, you guessed it, Google!
  • From other sites, Jenna is my biggest supporter :). I get the most referrals from her blog. I also get quite a few viewers from Ben Berberich's blog, Facebook (both Notes and on my Profile), and Ashley's blog.

That's all for now. Thanks to all the viewers of the site and readers of the blog in just these two short months! Hopefully I'll be able to post more when school's out and beautiful Summer has set in!

On a final note, if you use Google Reader or some such subscription service to view this blog, the name of the blog may still appear as "Define 'Cool'" when, in actuality, I have changed the name to "Alex's Musings." You may have to rename it manually since some RSS readers update only post feeds and not the name of the feed.
