Nine-Year Blog Visit Report

           StatCounter has now entered its tenth year of tracking visits to my blog, which it has been doing since April 2, 2009.  Since then, more than 7,100 strictly-defined visits have been tracked, not counting my own and counting only identifiable visits to specific pages at least one hour apart.  There were around 340 visits, which was nearly an equal number as last year.  There have been thousands of additional page-views. 

            The blog host, Blogger, tracks many more page-views than StatCounter, but its less specificity allows for less analysis than the latter.

            As has been the case in recent years, most visits have been to my blog’s homepage, instead of to individual posts.  The same posts as before remain the all-time most popular, but with a different distribution of visits over the last year.  Useless Cabinet Departments, http://williamcinfici.blogspot.com/2011/03/useless-cabinet-departments.html; The Reverend Monsignor Felix A Losito, Rest in Peace, http://williamcinfici.blogspot.com/2011/11/reverend-monsignor-felix-losito-rest-in.html; Chester Alan Arthur, the Most Underrated President, http://williamcinfici.blogspot.com/2012/04/chester-arthur-most-underrated-us.html; and Commentary on the Roman Influence on America Exhibit at the Constitution Center, http://williamcinfici.blogspot.com/2010/07/commentary-on-roman-influence-on.html were the most popular since the last report.

            As usual, in addition to Pennsylvania, the American States with the larger populations tend to be the source of most visits.  There were no changes to the all-time leaders in countries that were sources of visits, although there have been fewer from predominately Islamic countries in recent years like Malaysia and Algeria, which were the two leading sources of visits outside the States.  There was a significant increase from Germany this last year.
