Blogsite Analytics

I recently did an analytic review of the blog. It is amazing what can be found easily by a quick review of a website.

First, no one ever come directly to case comments on the blog. No one. Never. Ever. There may be readers (I hope so) who read the case comments but if there are they come to the main page and simply scroll down.

Second, lots of readers come directly to photographs and articles other than case comments. They seem to come driven by key words. So people do searches for, say, Winston Churchill and come to my site for references to him. How they come directly to photographs is not clear but I will figure it out.

Third, readers come from far more places than I had expected. While the bulk of the readers come through Canadian internet providers and a significant number from America at least a third are from all over the world -- South America, Asia, Europe.

Finally, comments come from unlikely places. For instance, one comment today came from Brazil -- and it was a comment that suggested an ongoing reading of the blog.

What does all this mean? I'm not too sure but it certainly suggests a different audience than I anticipated.
