One Thousand Pages Viewed

Posted by ngreene on Apr 7, 2010 in Projects

This site has been running for just over a month and this week marks the one thousandth page viewed!

In the grand scheme of things that number is really nothing, but it’s the first milestone and I am pretty excited about it.

A few stats from my first thousand page views:

- Most visitors to this site are visiting on apple products
- The most popular post to date was about how Lindsay Lohan is NOT the Etrade Baby
- 2/3 of visitors have come back more than once
- Only 10% of visitors are using any version of Internet Explorer
- The top referring sites for links coming into this site are: 1) Facebook, 2) Google, and 3) Twitter
- This is the 29th post, not including the static site pages

Overall, I’m pretty happy with how things are going so far.

I’m really looking forward to the next release of WordPress (3.0), which will include a feature that allows users to manage multiple blogs with one installation.

I would like to have a little more focus. When I think about blogs that I really like, the one thing that they have in common is some central theme that defines a reason for people to visit. I realize that this blog is really more of an assortment of my thoughts and random musings.

The problem is that my attention wanders too much to maintain a single point of interest for more than a few posts. I love having the ability to add tags to posts because, after just 29 posts, I can start to see the topics that I like to write about the most.

So far, according to my tag cloud, my favorite topics are Advertising, Google, and the iPhone.

Advertising is an obvious area of interest for me, given that I’m in the business. The iPhone is a tool that I never leave home without so it’s got to come up pretty frequently. The surprise for me is how often I write about Google.

Going forward, I can definitely see the iPad popping up in popularity of my tags. I’ve had one for two days and I am absolutely loving it. I will write a proper review shortly, but I want enough man hours on it to be able to have a valid opinion to share.

I’m not sure that I’ll ever be able to settle on a single theme for a blog so, until I do, I will continue with what I’ve been doing for another month and see how things progress.

In any case, thanks for reading and, for most of you, thanks for coming back after having read the first time!
