Dragonflies, Laundry and Ruski's OH MY!

So, I love the blogger in draft Stats tab. It gives me something to giggle about when I’m bored and there’s nothing to do/my brain needs a break from the needy characters in my head. That being said, I thought I’d lay some statistics on you. (These are all current as of last Wednesday because I’m crazy and write these things out in advance.)

 

My three most read posts:

1.  Yesterday Morning, my greatest fears were realized… (or, Dragonflies Have Super Powers) 7/30/10
2. Better Late Than Never, Rght? 9/20/10
3. Things you shouls save for online forums – A (short) List 7/15/10

 

Anyone want to venture a guess at the margin between the number one and two spots?

Yessir. Ladies and Genteelmen, my post on the super powers of dragonflies and the idea of a coconut crab that can fly cutting the top off our truck to kill me has received 274 pageviews according to blogger. Second place clocks in with only 18 views. Amazing. 3rd came in with 17 (not quite as big of a jump.)

 

My three highest traffic sources:

 

1. Google Reader (62)
2. Laundry Hurts My feelings (23)
3. Bye Bye Pie and the Blogger home page (16)

I can’t complain about spot #1… I read all of my blogs on Google reader and then click through to comment.

 

#2 is thanks to my dear critique partner Joann. She’s awesome with promotion

 
Bye Bye Pie’s attribution is due to Typad’s lovely little way of allowing you to link your blog to your name in the comments.

 

The three countries that visit me the most:

1. United states (1,120)
2. Canada (53)
3. Russia (45)

The US holding the top spot isn’t really a surprise. The people I force to read my blog are all from here, so it’s really not surprising.

 

I’m going to give all of the credit for Canada’s #2 spot to Randine. Mostly because she’s the only reader I know for a fact is from that strange and mysterious country to the north! (if you didn’t hear eerie music when you read that, please read the italicized portion again and imagine a dusty organ playing somewhere in the distance.)

 

I honestly have no idea why I’m getting so many Russian hits. Honestly. Does anyone out there want to clue me in on that one?
