Some pointless stats

So far this month:
  • Yahoo! Slurp has hit my Web server 3630 times. By comparison, Google has visited 5885 times, soundly trumping MSN Search's 832. My poor lonely robots.txt was only accessed 557 times.
  • I've served up 27831 images; mostly those little buttons in the bottom right.
  • I have 4 Bloglines subscribers; these guys took up 1310 accesses of my RSS feed, thanks to a double listing. Great. I had 6328 other RSS accesses; assuming 8 checks each day from each user, I have 37 readers.
  • The blog main page got hit 4367 times over 21 days. Small fry.
  • 1077 Firefox users saw my Google ads this month.
  • Special slightly-sarcastic thanks to Comet Systems, who thoughtfully left a minute between each hit when they were dumping every single page of the site. Twice.
  • Follow up thanks to EmeraldShield, who equally thoughtfully generally ignore robots.txt files because spammers will add them to sites to keep search engines from finding their content. Um, yeah. So, which of my readers is unfortunate enough to be behind an EmeraldShield product?
  • God bless the poor guy who got to my “answer” page with this query. I don't think I answered his question.
  • Sorry to James Anderson for taking up 6th place in Google for “perspex machine” for some lecture notes I was paid to take!
  • 431 people wanted to find out more about my music server; by comparison, only 261 for my iPhoto RDF plugin, and 52 for my SMS processor. I think the utility to the searchers is the exact inverse order!
Enough for one day. More interesting than I expected….
