Andrew Reeves running blog stat porn for June 2010

So, continuing my monthly stat porn figures, the monthly summary of my visitor stats according to google analytics is as below for June 2010.

The busiest day on my blog last month was Thursday 17th June and the story was about Caroline Nokes MP, the MP who made a virtue of marriage during the campaign and then we discover she has been having an affair.

Last month I had 3,010 absolute unique visitors, massively down from 6,069 last month. They made 3,993 visits and 5,129 page views.

So, my top 10 referring sites for the last month (with previous position in brackets) were;

1. Facebook (2)
2. Twitter (1)
3. Lib Dem Voice (3)
4. Lib Dem Blogs (4)
5. Blogger.com (6)
6. SNP Tactical Voting (5)
7. Google.co.uk (=9)
8. Prestone.co.uk (New)
9. Google.com (18)
10. Liberal England Blogspot (69)

Last month I wrote just 22 blog posts.

The top 10 stories by direct page views that you've read most were;
 
1. Tory MP Caroline Nokes declares extra marital sex wrong while cheating on her husband with a toy boy

Scottish Round Up - Top blogs

Considering how short a time I have now lived in Scotland I am really quite honoured that my little blog came in as 4th best Lib Dem blog in the top 5 Lib Dem blogs and 64th best Scottish blog in the top 100 Scottish blogs in the Scotblog Awards from Scottish Round Up.

So, a huge thank you to those who voted and more importantly a massive thank you to those people who actually take time out of their day to visit my blog, read the stories and make comments as well.

Merry Christmas to all my readers

Thank you all for your continued readership and support of my little blog.

Due to various events this year Christmas cards have been a little thin, in fact they are all written but have yet to be posted so you may well get them after Christmas, although as they say it is the thought that counts.

For those that don't receive one this year, please don't be offended, those that know me well will realise why, but here is the picture we chose for this years card.

So, Merry Christmas to one and all.

The monthly statistics behind my blog

After reading across at Stephen's Linlithgow Journal where he mentions (again) about being the nearly blog - please don't encourage him. His blog is bloody awesome, hence why (a) so many of us link to it, (b) so many people visit it and (c) so many people read it and rate it.

I like how Stephen laid out the stats on his monthly stats, so, I thought I like that, why not me have a go. These stats are from google analytics for the last month.

So, my top 10 referring sites for the last month were;

1. Lib Dem blogs
2. Twitter
3. Networked blogs
4. Blogger
5. Lib Dem Voice
6. Caron's musings
7. Facebook
8. SNP Tactical Voting
9. Google
10. Total Politics

The top 10 stories by direct page views that you've read most were;

1. Le Grand Bleu Yacht Update
2. Le Grand Bleu leaves Leith
3. 8 inches is average - Glasgow is above average

5. Conservatives are complete hypocrites on LGBT issues as Section 28 raises its ugly head again
6. Le Grand Bleu Yacht
