Ready for another look at the hum-drum routine of a practically unknown web site? Here are the monthly highlights for christian-sauve.com:
1. Mmm. Numbers…
My prickly "Urchin" web stats engine tells me that…
Report for: christian-sauve.com, August 2006 Total Visitors: 7,779 Total Pageviews: 16,018 (Corrected Total: 9,492) Total Hits:24,644 Total Bytes Transferred: 579.2MB Average Visitors Per Day: 250.93 Average Pageviews Per Day: 516.7 (Corrected Average: 316.4) Average Hits Per Day: 794.96
The "corrected" numbers take out the CSS, robots.txt, PDFs, mis-filed graphic files (ICO, GIF, JPG) and other non-public files mistakenly considered "pages" by the statistics pre-digestion engine. All results are lower than last month.
Our top ten most popular pages are:
/index.html 464 /texts/worldcon-2004-noreascon4.htm 463 /texts/free-movie-tickets.htm 310 /texts/solaris-explanation.htm 230 /reviews/2006/reviews-2006-03march.html 176 /about.html 168 /new-york/day_1.html 137 /reviews.html 129 /reviews/movies-2001.htm 118 /texts/westercon58-calgary.htm 115
Few changes this month. The unusually good showing of the March 2006 reviews will be explained in the "Search Queries" section.
If you care about such things, (and who would not?), here’s a look at browser statistics for the month (by visitors, last month’s results in parentheses):
Netscape|6 3446 (4784) Explorer|6 2815 (2622) msnbot|1 367 (278) Explorer|5 274 (214) Netscape|2 156 (72)
I’ll ask again: Where is that Netscape|2 coming from?
2. Where do these people come from?
Our top five sources of referrals (in visitors) were
google.com/search 1036 (891) google.com/imgres 252 (205) www.google.ca/search 225 (214) google.co.uk/search 179 (101) yahoo.com/search 64 (52)
No new noteworthy links this month.
3. Ohh! Visitor comments!
We feverishly open up the christian-sauve.com to find…
…a blank message.
Oooh.
4. Search Queries Oddities
(This being the section in which we take a look at the search engine queries used by various visitors to find christian-sauve.com)
Here are our top-ten queries:
samantha ivers nude 50 solaris explained 38 solaris explanation 28 free movie screenings 23 florina petcu nude 17 explain solaris 10 advance screenings 9 free movie screening 9 christian sauve 9 amazon isbn 8
Those of you stil obsessing about the unusually-strong showing of the March 2006 reviews can stop wondering. All the credit goes to the DVD release of INSIDE MAN, which features both Samantha Ivers and Florina Petcu. I claim no special knowledge of their state of undress, but the March reviews do contain the line "Grotesque monsters, nude actresses, gory violence and foul subject matter are where Troma films start: it may be best not to imagine where they end."
So, more people are still coming to my site looking for nude pictures of a second-tier actress than there are who explicitly search for my name? Good grief…
Until next time, my name is Christian Sauvé and I remain… obsessed by web statistics.
