Who looks at this blog anyways?

I have been collecting data on visits to the blog since the start of the school year using a free program called Google Analytics. This software generates a report each day, which includes many things such as: the number of hits the blog gets per day, where the hits are coming from and how long each visit lasts.

Here's the data for September 27th-October 27th.

This graph represents the number of hits per day. Remember what was due on October 28th? Your lab report.


As students, you're not the only ones who have visited the blog over the past month. 39 countries have visited and 43 states!

How do people find the blog?

Referring sites include things like blogger.com which has a ticker with blogs that are updated minute by minute. And even search engines! People looking for information on google have stumbled across our class blog. Personally, I think that's pretty cool.
