Return of the Statzi!

Tuesday, September 19, 2006

First.
I very much enjoyed Dr. Murk's post from yesterday and it made me think of a few other things. Not only do people come here to read some good articles, they also come here for the interaction of the members. In addition, they come here cause they hate some of us. I get quite consistently messages like "Why is XXXXX over at WoW a jerk?". They like/hate some of the personalities.

I do have one request. We have 28 contributers, some who have never posted an article, one who has never even commented. Could everyone here try and post at least one article per month? Why? I love to hear from those of you we don't hear from often.

The Stats
One thing I like about stats, it shows you how popular you are, and what people who come here (Or stumble upon this like). First the big ones. The Wand of Wonder, and it's mother site, Third Option Media have been online since March of '05. Since that time it has had 342,446 hits, 31,901 unique visitors (ave of about 133 a day, again this has increased since June and aeveraged 299 per day). The most popular page is of course this blog, followed by the podcast page. Some meat and potato stats?

What is the common thread among these posts? Most of them pertain to timely searched events, and common internet searches, or have extensive incoming links. Also most of these are at least a month old so they are going to get hit more or you would think so. For example since Aug the most popular articles are very similar to the top ten above, with the addition of stuff about Steve Irwin, My NFL preview, and some of the Wrestling articles.
