One year later

My blog is officially one year old now and I thought I would share some interesting facts, some gleaned from metrics generated by this blog engine and others from Google Analytics:

  • 61 blog posts (not including this one)
  • Over 1300 unique visitors from 71 different countries
  • Average visitor spent 3 ½ minutes on the site and visited more than four pages
  • Most popular blog post and still the most frequented these past few months is: Extracting SharePoint data using SSRS. This post represented 19.47% of all page views on my site for the past year
  • 61.09% of traffic came from search engines, 31.08% from direct traffic and 7.83% from referring sites
  • Given that this blog covers Microsoft technologies and methods, it is no surprise to me that Internet Explorer is 78.61% of browsers used against this site, though Google's Chrome is coming on strong given it's very recent release

I would like to thank everyone who has e-mailed me thanks, suggestions, questions and random comments this past year. Please keep them coming!

I will be starting a pet project this month that will cover aggregations over public economic data – data feeds that the Treasury, Federal Reserve, Labor Stats Dept., etc. put out on a regular basis. It is pretty ambitious, will be long running, but done in many small phases. I will post updates here, as well as talk about all that I learn along the way. The site, once the shell is posted later this month, will be located at: http://www.datapublicus.com.

Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions or suggestions, and for anyone going to the Microsoft BI conference next month, hope to see you there!
