Happy birthday Left on 49!

I almost forgot, but this week marks the first anniversary of this blog.

I thought it might be a good occasion to look at some statistics for this website, brought to you by Google Analytics.

In the past year I had 3,839 Absolute Unique Visitors to this very spot. So i guess that means that 3,839 unique individuals were interested in whatever I write on here.
Combined they viewed 16,650 pages. If only I received a dollar for every page they view :-)

There's one person I need to thank for this relative success: My favorite County Commissioner, Coy Privette.
Before the Privette sex scandal broke I had an average of 5 unique visitors per day. When Mr. Privette's shenanigans were made public I all of a sudden had hundreds of visitors each day.
When the Privette scandal disappeared from the attention of the regular media, so did the visits to my website, but it always stayed way above what it was B.P. (Before Privette). For months now I have a pretty consistent average of 30 unique visitors per day.
So thanks Coy, but you can leave now.

I get my visitors from different sources:
40% through search engines (Google, Yahoo)
35% direct visits (people who just type www.lefton49.com in their browser)
25% from referrals (most of this through the blogger.com search, and some of it through statewide and local blogging colleagues)

So remember, you're not weird and you're not the only one reading this stuff :-)

This might also be a good time to remind you that you can get all new posts on here automatically delivered in your e-mail or to your RSS reader, by clicking on the appropriate link in the sidebar on the right side of this website and signing up!

I'm also always interested in hearing from you. Tell me what's on your mind and what you think I should write about. Leave a comment on here, or contact me by e-mail.
And yes, I already know that all liberals will go to hell, so no need to tell me that again ;-)

I'm looking forward to a very exciting and a very busy 2008 election year. Stay tuned!
