As 2010 has drawn to a close, it is an appropriate time to revisit the statistics for the year gone.
First up we'll have a look at the Total Hits by month for the last 3 years - currently running at around the 58 million a month mark and totalling just over 619 million for the year - or about 4.2% more than in 2009. The second chart depicts the server responses on a daily average basis.
Next are the total number of pages served - running around the 17 million mark per month and totalling a little over 202 million for the year or about 2.4% less than in 2009 mostly due to the change we made to the number of search results returned. The second chart shows this on an average daily basis.
Next are the total number of unique visits - running around the 1.6 million mark per month and totalling a little over 23.5 million for the year or about 27.7% more than in 2009 although there is a noticeable drop since July after we changed how visiting bots and guests were treated. The second chart shows this on a daily average basis for the last 3 years by month.
Finally, for this series, a look at the New User registrations for the last 6 years - substantially up in 2010 despite the changes we have made (the impact of which can be seen in weeks 21-24).
Cheers
