Early fourth quarter score
This incarnation of the Inner Worlds site was thrown up in late March 2009 just before ImagiCon to give us a better web presence than the old Angelfire site. Really ought to take the head off that zombie. That site's been up since November 2001 and has had only 403 hits, many of those coming from me verifying the infrequent updates look. The current site got nearly that many in September, as evidenced by the charts below.

I track the page requests and not the middle column which tracks all requests involved in loading a page - images, etc. March and April '09's stats are best ignored as the site took a lot of hits as I worked on it. You can see some of that on the weekly chart.

See the huge spike on the right side? Confusion and mayhem that is. But as with the monthly chart, the uptrend in traffic especially after the first of 2010 is evident. The blog sides yearly chart shows the same:


| Month | Number of requests | Number of page requests | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | March 2009 | 107 | 67 |
| 2. | April 2009 | 351 | 85 |
| 3. | May 2009 | 162 | 54 |

Unfortunately it shows only the last twelve months. Before last October, the blog was largely flat. Which is no surprise as there were only six entries and none later than August. October '09's bump in traffic is another outlier. As it stands, the main page averaged about 5.7 hits a day and the blog 3.8 over the last year. Not great, but if growth continues next year at anything like this year's pace, it might get to 10 or even 15!
Whoa, made myself dizzy. Quarterly might be too frequent, but once every six months to a year, I'll throw these stats up so y'all can see where things stand in terms of the site's activity. There's much more info available in the stats, referring sites, bandwidth use, etc. so if anyone's curious about something specific, let me know and I'll see if I can dig it up.
