Statto!

I’m not much of a geek but I do like a good stat now and again. So I took notice this year when the Annual Report from WordPress came along and here are the facts and figures for the Two Chances Veg Plot Blog.

This blog was viewed about 31,000 times in 2011 (compared to 13,000 in 2010). In 2011, there were 64 new posts (compared to 137 posts in 2010), growing the total archive of this blog to 211 posts. There were 206 pictures uploaded (compared to 561 the year before). So I’ve written less than half the posts I wrote in 2010 and had almost three times the number of visitors, obviously it’s not all about quantity!

The busiest day of the year was March 22nd with 205 views. In 2010 it was 137 views on December 19th.

Thanks to the top referring sites in 2011 who were:

twochancesvegplot.co.uk
ukveggardeners.com
vegpatchblog.blogspot.com
glallotments.blogspot.com
theidiotgardener.blogspot.com

Some visitors came searching, mostly for sweet peas, hunter thompson, two chances veg plot, celery, and snow. In 2010 sweet peas, big flower pots, flower, cauliflower, and gladioli were the most popular search words.

Visitors came from round the world including Trinidad & Tobago, Peru, Sudan and Northern Mariana (I had to look that one up they are a group of islands in Micronesia).

My posts may have longevity as 4 out of the 5 most viewed posts in 2011 were actually posted in 2010 (2 as far back as March 2010).

So there you go, does it mean anything? No of course not, it’s just a few stats.

That was 2011 and roll on 2012! Happy New Year everyone!
