The monthly report – July 2003
In: Personal
30 Jul 2003redemption in a blog has seen a total of 18,000 16,000 odd hits in this month of July 2003. Not much – a petty amount in fact, but I’m glad to see that I am getting some readership at all.
Now onto more interesting facts, first being the most visited entries:
- Rounded tables with CSS had the highest number of hits, despite it being a no-show in terms of delivering what is expected from the title
- Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1 released – Mozilla-related entries seem to get good viewership for some reason
- I got my Google tan wasn’t really anything serious, but the word ‘Google’ seems to draw some attention
Top search strings:
- thunderbird email – currently ranked no. 5 on Google
- firebird google toolbar – 1st on Google
- mambo 4.5 – 6th on Google
Other interesting stuff:
- ranked 3rd and 4th for rounded tables – who would have thought?
- ranked 1st and 2nd for jade weblogic – now that would have my old colleagues at the company I was interning at visiting my blog and finding nothing of use
- NetNewsWire, a news reader for Mac OS X, is one of the top user agents – I wonder who you people are, or maybe someone got here from an aggregator.
- Java1.3.1 is another top user agent – I wonder what exactly this is
Until next month, and thanks for popping by!

The problem when using hits to gauge traffic is that every request for a file gets counted. Therefore, requests for images, stylesheets, external javascript files, and so forth all count as separate hits. Redemtion in a Blog probably gets about 10 hits per pageview. Image-heavy pages like those inside MovableType typically get 20-30 hits per pageview, I would think.
But 6,000 visits on a one-man blog isn’t bad.

So 18,000 hits is something like 900 visits?

There were 6,023 visits. Hmm… You’re right visits are more significant I guess.

I think Java 1.3.1 is probably a robot or other user agent who’s owner forgot to change the user agent string.
Oh, and I’m one of the NetNewsWire people. ;)

Hey anode!
I’ll never get the chance to try NetNewsWire, so tell me: you add a RSS feed URI to it and it alerts you on new news right?

Chu,
In a nutshell, yes. There’s a bit more to it than that, but you’d have to try for yourself.
Why don’t you try AmphetaDesk or SharpReader?

Perhaps the Java 1.3.1 user agent is some kind of reincarnation of the HotJava browser?
Most likely, though, anode is right–it’s probably just someone who forgot to change their user agent string on their robot. Perhaps it’s a Java-based bot reading your RSS feed?
