Happy New Year
Happy 2007 everyone!
I trust that everyone had a great New Year’s Eve celebration and long weekend. Heck…its even longer for all the federal employees. I just know I feel like I needed today off to recover from the long weekend.
In other news, that’s really all I have. Yes, I know, sad. I kept a low profile over the holiday since it was my last free weekend before school starts next Monday.
I will say that Kari looked at me after midnight on New Year’s and said, “We’re getting married this year!”
Yikes!
Anyways, instead of doing the popular thing and having a Top Something of 2006 list, I figured I would do a little State of the Website address. First, allow me to share where I get this data from. I use three different sources to compile this data:
- Yahoo! Site Logs. Yahoo! hosts my site and provides these logs. I’ve had these since day 1.
- ShinyStat. They provide the number hits and the counter you see at the bottom of the pages.
- Google Analytics. I’ve been using this service since I went to v4.0. Awesome stuff and totally free.
By those sources combined, I give you the following stats (and fight image hot-linking from MySpace butt heads):
Number of site hits from 1/4/2005 to 12/31/2006: 56,240
Recent phrases from search engines that brought people to my site:
- street fighter ii

Total number of comments on the site (excluding all the spam comments I’ve deleted): 1,560
Total number of unique names used for comments: 394
Total number of all posts: 483
Finally, this is probably my favorite feature of Google Analytics: A world map showing where people have visited my site since 10/2006.
That’s right…worldwide baby.

Worst Album Covers of All Time.

Fried-chicken restaurant owner settles long-running feud with dough nut shop next door by punching hole in the wall, spraying gasoline through it and lighting a match. Don’t mess with Fried Chicken Guy.

So you need to up your game… still missing at least 2 continents. Maybe you just need to market to the austrailians and africans better.
