British Blogs Top Ten

A slow day at Bloggerheads amounts to about 1,200 individual visitors (to the main blog, i.e. not counting any of the other pages on the site)

A normal day runs at around 1,700-2,500

Busy days go to 3,500 and up.

PS - Make sure your submitters don't get page views (eg views of individual posts) or hits (ie no. of files downloaded) mixed up with unique visitors to the main weblog.

The figures I've provided here do not take views of individual posts into account (such as the 11k peeps who have read my Crazy Frog post, but have gone no further).

If I took these visitors into account, the figures would start at 3,500 per day and then go up on busy days.

  • Isn't the point to make the stats available to the public rather than people just reporting a number as they could just say anything? Not that I'm casting any doubts like! ;)

    Also if you have a frequently updated blog (like New Links) aren't page loads a valid count? We have visitors coming back repeatedly during the day to see if there are (and there there usually has been) any updates.

    Mind you I'm also happy to be counted by unique visitors as we do alright in that department too.

  • But there needs to be a standard. We've yet to settle on sitemeter by the looks of things, but the standard (in my opinion) should be unique visitors each day to the main page only. Not passing traffic, but regular readers.

    But (uh-oh) doesn't this discount people reading via feeds?

  • I agree there needs to be a standard - I'm just stating my personal preferences for that standard. :)

    Personally I think it should be any page counted - again coming back to frequently updated sites a post on our front page can fall off the front page after a few days. Is the post any less valid (and worthy of visiting and counting hits from) just because it's been superseded by a fresher post? Also from what I know of Sitemeter you get very little visitor detail - how could you say who was passing and who was regular without know IPs, returning count etc?

    Does it matter which stats site we use? I personally wouldn't use Sitemeter as it's nowhere near as good as the counter we use (Statcounter). At the end of the day it's the numbers we need and all stat sites produce those numbers.

    Re visitors reading feeds - I pass New Links feed through Feedburner which provides some limited stats on feed reading.

  • Hi britishblogs,
    I was just passing looking for Targeted Traffic links on the blogger site and found your this post blog. Your blog was not quite what I was looking for, but I enjoyed my visit all the same.

  • I enjoyed reading through your blog.

    I've searched and searched for the best hosts. It's tough to find the best ones. I finally found a couple reliable and inexpensive webhosts here. I have a couple unlimited domain accounts I've been using for some time with much success. Let me know what you think.
