I’ll try to draw a few conclusions from these stats. One, folks land here because they can’t find stuff elsewhere on the Internet or IBM’s pages. Two, people are hungry for information and they Google the heck out of stuff.
Over 70% of my visitors originated from Google searches. They search for a term, find it, maybe what they see suits them, check out who the heck this Doug guy is on the About page, then bail out to find other sources. Over 73% of visitors only came one time.
According to Feedburner, it looks like I averaged about 400 subscribers for the year. I’d suspect that the most loyal readers are using this method rather than landing on the blog or any certain post or page.
