Blogger Stats

I am loving the new feature in blogger that let's me see where traffic is coming from to my blog. Yeah, I know I could have installed things that would have let me do the same thing but let's face it I'm kinda lazy. Anyway, Leigh vs. Landry is the biggest referral site. Thanks to Leigh for the Happiness Project. My blogger profile was next for referrals. The third site was Simply Modern Mom. I participate in her Project 52.

I also love seeing what people search to find my blog. The number 1 search is blogger. Next is Secret Mom. The third was Caillou sucks. Kinda funny. Boys underpants was searched 4 times to get to my site. Holy moly! How super creepy is that search!

My number one post of all time (well they started tracking in May) is Not Me Monday-Potty Training Edition. That surprised me a bit. I wrote it back in June 2009 but it still gets views each week. My next most viewed post was Ticked Off Tuesday-Say Farewell Caillou. I wrote this one back in October2009. It also still gets weekly views. Apparently I'm not alone in my hatred of that whiny little boy.

I got to find out what country my audience is from. The number one country is the USA. Not surprised since that is where I live. Next was Canada. I know I have some Canadian peeps. Third was Netherlands. That surprised me. I didn't know any of you were from the Netherlands. I do get people from all over the world which is super cool. Leave comments and let me know you have read a post and I'll return a visit.

I love seeing which posts people viewed the most. Some posts didn't get many comments but did get viewed/read. It is nice to know that people have seen what I wrote.

That's cool. I didn't know that they had been doing that. I have a rudimentary stat counter, but yours sounds more detailed. I'll have to check that feature out.

BTW... I loved your Caillou post. Really, what a whiner he is!

I just started kind of peeking in at that, but I don't want to become addicted. :) That is very cool that you found some fun searches, but the last one, uh, yeah, people are really weird and creepy out there. Ick-O.

Thanks for sharing!

I'm finally back to blogging after a six-month break and trip over the ocean :) What is this blogging feature you speak of? I'm going to look into that. I like reading your posts because they're real. The first one I read was about pretty simple...you were happy about the weather. It made me smile. Instant follower ! !!

It is rather interesting to know what people search for to have landed in your blog. :)

I've seen that tab up there but I have never even clicked on it. Guess I should!

I do not reside in the netherlands, so you can rule me out on that...I recall your caillou post and am in complete agreement.

Now, I must check this out!

And, I never could tolerate Caillou!
