Self Indulgent Stats

I finally got around to registering the site with search engines a while back. Due to efforts at work to make their site more crawlable, I decided to look at my logs. Interesting stuff. Some tidbits for January:

Visitors from: Canada, UK, Poland, Netherlands, Japan, United States (.us), Finland, Luxembourg Australia, India, Brazil, USA Military (.mil), Italy, France, Sweden, International (.int), Israel, Turkey, Latvia, Greece

OS: 6% Mac, 2% Linux, 7 visits from Web TV.

Browsers: 3% Netscape, mostly v6 and above, although there’s a big bunch of v4.05… my site sucks under Netscapes that old. 6% Firebird, a lot of that is probably me, 4% Mozilla, 3% Safari, Some Opera, WebCollage (PDA/Phone Browser), WebTV again, and LibWWW? Maybe that was me verifying HTML or something.

34% direct type-ins. 41% from search engines, mostly Google. A smattering of hits from weird search engines too. Also links from weird places like this gifts page and someone who actually found something useful.

Top search phrase was “water st st johns nfld” and top search word was “pictures”. Lotsa hits on searching about VB, .Net, pictures, Canadians, CV, etc. Not all of them currently hit on Google, and they may actually come from other engines.
