Interesting Statistics or Why Art Thou There

I recently installed the Wordpres StatPress-Plugin. This plugin can give you real-time information about your blog visitors. It also detects web-spiders and search-engine bots automagically, so you can seperate them from regular visitors.
However, the reason for this post was not to promote this plugin, rather than giving you some insight about what StatPress has to say about my blog visitors.

Summarized to an unordert list this leads to

  • 72 visits (52 pageviews) on a single day, with as yet actually not any interesting posts
  • 57,9% from Germany, 36,8% from US
  • 12 unique visitors, so most visits seem to be bots and spiders
  • 15 detected spider visits (53% Google Feedfetcher)
  • 15 RSS2 suscription (most probably the spiders?)
  • 93,1% Linux systems (hurray!)


Conclusions:
This is not one of the best visited sites on the net, most traffic comes from bot and probably even from myself. Enabling the StatPress-option “Do not collect spiders visits” fairly reasonable. Reading statistics and
babbling starry-eyed about statistics you didn’t falsify yourself, can be quite funny.

Questions: What did YOU lead to this page, why are you here, what are you interested in? Please let me know what things you like to see on this pages and what you are missing or where’d you come from. I’d be actually interested in writing about things, you would like to read – assumed i can at least babble around those things and it lies in my field of interest. So, please, if you’re following this blog, add a comment, tell me what you think, tell me what you’d like to read. Thanks!
