Site Statistics for Deceber 2010

Returning visitors is up.

December is up in the statistic I most appreciate, returning visitors. The increase is substantial and encouraging, even though the other stats are down. I interpret the increase to reflect two things: better communication about what Ralph Carlson Blog is all about for readers who just stumble in and content with enough value to encourage readers to return. I did make a commitment to leave more comments on other blogs. Nothing like John’s big goal, but I did probably get 40 in the month.

What’s with Google Page Rank?

On other stats, Google still doesn’t know I exist but my Alexa score has plummeted from 722.905 to 459,887. Even though Alexa scores are meaningless, I get satisfaction from the improvement.

More realistic goals for 2011

I am being more realistic with my goals this month. I will be happy if returning visitors increase another 10% and I would like to reverse the decline in the other stats. Keep up the writing and try to match John with commenting. Maybe add some more pints as well.

    Ralph…Congratulations with your stats. You got me hooked as a returning visitor. Your posts are always interesting, thought provoking, something I can relate to, and what I especially appreciate…Well Written.

    “Maybe add some more pints as well.”

    Err…Ralph…adding more pints will make the writing quality decline in inverse proportion to the number of pints added…LOL

      Bob,
      I know. It was an poor attempt at humor.
