Aristostats for 2011

Written by , Posted in Site News

I have noticed that there are some in the blogosphere who are looking back over the last year and reporting on various stats generated by their blogs, such as Josiah Concept Ministries and others. They talk about page view totals for the year, which pages were the most popular, who their top referrers were, the most popular browsers used to view their site and so forth. So I thought I would likewise take a look back over the last year and see what some of our totals were. The following information was pulled from the data collected by the company that hosts the Aristophrenium.

Total number of page views for 2011 were in excess of 201,200, which actually topped our 2010 total of 197,700.

For those who prefer visit counts, last year’s total pushed upwards of 65,400, beating the previous year’s total of 48,900.

And the amount of bandwidth we have used over the last two years is 22.3 GB.

The most active month surprisingly was December (24,131 page views).

The most popular operating systems are not a surprise: Windows (74%), Macintosh (16%), and Linux (7%), with the remaining three percent comprised of Other (which I suspect are things like smartphones and mobile devices).

And the top web browsers used are likewise not much of a surprise: Explorer (29%), Firefox (28%), Chrome (21%), Safari (16%), Opera (3%), and Other (3%).

And the top five most viewed articles for 2011 were:

  1. Adam Morgan, “We don’t hate sin so we don’t understand what happened to the Canaanites.”
  2. Luis Dizon, “The Trinity in the Torah.”
  3. Adam Morgan, “Do homosexuals have equal rights?
  4. Mathew Hamilton, “Abortion images: Ignorance isn’t bliss, it’s just ignorance (or worse).”
  5. David Smart, “Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011).”

And finally, the top ten referrers for 2011 were:

  1. atheistforums.org
  2. 4simpsons.wordpress.com
  3. www.facebook.com
  4. hereiblog.com
  5. www.choosinghats.com
  6. urbanphilosophy.net
  7. www.reclaimingthemind.org
  8. apologetics315.blogspot.com
  9. sydneyanglicanheretics.blogspot.com
  10. www.newcovenantforum.org

    A nicely rounded, “just the facts, ma’am” summary, Ryft, from which a few conclusions could be drawn: Adam seems to continue his knack of generating link-bait content, having produced two out of the five most viewed articles; your willingness to step into atheist “home-turf” does a most admirable job of attracting further hits, and the bulk of that from atheistforums.org no less; Luis adds great value with his dismantling of Islam’s claims against Christianity; and Duane has made The Aristophrenium a staple diet for the Sydney Anglican Heretics.

    To borrow from Hannibal’s (of The A-Team fame) oft quoted phrase, “I love it when a [good team] comes together.”

    Here’s to an even better year for 2012, with God’s blessing and to His glory.

    I’m very surprised that my post on the Canaanites topped the list for views for the year. Especially since it was only up for the last month of the year.

    Funny how things work out. I posted this during a time in my life where I had taken a pretty severe beating from the devil and was struggling for motivation and inspiration. A depressing time for me. I guess it is possible for something good to come out of a bad situation/calamity/disaster. Praise be to God.
