The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 170,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 3 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than a small country in Europe!
Good stats, Iain – I must look at mine – I particularly like this bit:
Lara & Richard are keeping you going.
And this:
I didn’t rate a mention!
Happy New year.
Yes Ray you do deserve a commenting gong IMHO
Interesting that of that list of top commentators two have been banned!
Ah well it just goes to prove that those who get too excited about stats are often quite mistaken.
Maybe WordPress doesn’t include authors in those stats, Iain. That’d be why you, GD & I aren’t on that list.
According to your stats page, Iain, these are your ‘most recent’ top commenters:
Commenter Comments
Iain Hall 310
Ray Dixon 113
deknarf 89
Brian 89
paulwello 78
Richard Ryan 70
GD 57
That’s based on the last 1,000 comments – which sort of proves that the year’s results advised by WP don’t include authors.
Yes Ray I think that you are right about the way that they treat authors in those stats, essentially You and I have easily made as many comments as those cited by WP
