WebWord Weblog Posting

WebWord Comment -- I don't have anything to hide regarding the traffic to WebWord. Take a look at my usage statistics (scroll to the bottom for links). For July 2002, it looks like I'm running at over 4,000 page views per day and over 1,700 visitors. Not too shabby. Share your web traffic statistics here so we can compare.

We use Webalizer as well, and its great.

One thing we did do, was strip some of the useless info out of the report. This is very easy to do via the config file, even in a hosted environment.

FYI, here's the changes we made:

* Removed "Total URLs by Kilobytes"

* Removed "Total entry pages"

* Removed "Total exit pages"

* Turned on the reverse DNS lookup, so the "Total Sites" table shows domain names, not IP addresses. This will also give useful information in the "Total Countries" table, which is always very interesting.

* Removed "Total sites by kilobytes"

* Removed our own site from "Total referrers", so only external sites are shown.

These are changes we do for our clients as well. (Less is more, etc)

Hiya John, For June, my last full month: total pages = 51766, total visits = 24614. That's 1905 pages per day, 820 visits per day. Worth nothing is that I have many more hits - 120364 - per month because many of my readers (650 daily, 250 weekly) read me by email only, receiving only graphics from the web server.

These aren't Yahoo! numbers or even close but I'm pleased considering they were generated by pure word of mouth only - no advertising, no promotions (no budget).
