A Good Start
Looking back the last year, I can say, that I am proud launching this blog and writing, more or less, regularly. I was never good at writing and still lack the skills of being a good writer at all. As with every new skill it is about practice, practice, practice and losing the fear of doing mistakes in front of others.
Everything started with my first blog post over at blogspot beginning of this year. Unfortunately, when moving the blog to Heroku, I have also lost the statistics from that time.
All in all, I have written a total of 17 posts (this one excluded) resulting in the following statistics that I have pulled from my Google Analytics account.
- Visits: 2245
- Unique visitors: 1728
- Page hits: 3585
Now, let’s look at the traffic.
There are three observations from this, two spikes and an overall increase in traffic.
The first was generated after I have posted “The Java Leap Second Bug” and put a “Thank you!"-comment on the blog where I have found the solution.
The second spike happened when @portertech, the author of Sensu, retweeted my announcement of “The Book of Sensu”.
The third observation is an overall increase of unique pagehits.
Here are the top three posts:
- Creating Virtual Images with Veewee (489 hits)
- The Java Leap Second Bug (484 hits)
- Installing Graphite on CentOS 6.2 (332 hits)
My top three referrers are:
- blog.wpkg.org (The blog where I have found the solution of the Java Leap Second Bug)
I want to conclude this post with some resolutions for the new year:
- Finish “The Book of Sensu”
- Contribute to Sensu
- Write lots of useful blog-posts.
Wish you all the best for the next year.
Done for this year!
