More Raw Free Statporn, More than a Million Page Views

Look away if this stuff bores you.   The site broke the million page-views barrier for the first time in March.  The numbers broke down thus:

  • 1,191,456 page views plus another 251,952 via RSS feed.
  • 767,473 unique visits
  • 147,689 absolute visitors

The big jump is partly due to the Dan Hannan effect, his story was twice as popular as any other.  Top referrers were (excluding search engines) in order:

1. iaindale.blogspot.com / 56,888
2. spectator.co.uk / 20,363
3. politicshome.com / 16,082
4. politicalbetting.com /13,542
5. twitter.com /9,059

Twitter has come from nowhere in the last month.

The new server set-up also allows Guido to analyse the comments.  Notice how a few window-lickers have  already disappeared?  Multiple personalities have dissolved away as well.  Hopefully this has not been too heavy-handed.  The comments system’s automatic algorithm is still in beta and will be refined further, nevertheless it has already released Guido from moderation duties allowing 516 different individuals to make 17,080 comments last month.  It is a huge relief to no longer have to personally moderate them.

Many thanks to the readers and advertisers who have supported the blog.  You make it all possible.

    Well done Guido – now you’ll have Dolly Drooper trying to figure out how you do it so he can do the same for LabourLost. That’ll happen sometime after we watch the flying pigs go by!

    Interesting reading – your figures show how difficult it is to get people to comment – Must be so much harder for the lefties seeing how they censor anything they don’t like!

    There is a lesson there somewhere …!

      Yesterday the Hoon Humpty on the R4 Toady programme said, again, that sterling’s depreciation was good for our exports. No wonder the proportion of the country which gets its propaganda only from Al JaBeeba is totally, fuckingly, economically illiterate!

    Yes, I’ll bet it does. Time that you can devote to stuff that’s important.

    Once upon a time the grass was free to grow; the tallest blades caught the most sun, and the shortest blades were overshadowed, and died off. Eventually all the grass was tall and strong, but then came mankind, with his lawnmower, which cut the blades down to size, and made them equally stunted. I beileve that mankind will one day pass from the earth, and the grass will be free to grow again – assuming that the grass can hold on until then. The moral of my story is that nature breeds strength and vitality; mankind and mankind’s rules breed stuntedness.

    I like the way your automatic system turns c*nt into hoon, while still ensuring that Hoon remains a c*nt.

    I’ve been saying this would happen for a very long time. On my travels to see the leaders of other nations I have been arguing for the sort of stimulus that is evidenced here. There may have been only 20 of us together the other night but I feel that the rest of the world will now recognize that this is the global solution to the global problems we all face.

    Was that okay Guido?

    I’d also like to thank my wife and children, and my family and of course, my colleagues in Westminister. However, you must realsie that I would have succeeded anyway because I am that good.

    Thanky you

    What time for medication?

    Glad to see the window-lickers disappearing.

    They were actually an embarrassment – albeit mainly to themselves – as they pitched for ‘witty’and ‘cutting-edge’and fell such a long way short.

    Their me me me selfishness made the comments section unreadable.

    The Twitter is interesting.

    Your followers are not up very much (30%), so it must be a higher Click Rate.

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
