It is three years to the day since I started this blog. When I started it, interested in the medium because of the use I was making of it to run a current awareness service for medical educators, it was hosted on my site at http://www.roper.org.uk, and I used iBlog. In April 2004 I moved over to TypePad, where it has resided ever since.
Some statistics:
Average page views per day: 51.10
Total page views since April 2004: 48,899
Posts: 853
Comments: 188
Trackbacks: 6
Technorati ranking: 126, 268 with 51 links from 27 blogs
There is also the running blog, not started till December 2004
Average page views per day; 15.72
Total page views since 28 December 2004: 11096

TrackBacks: 1
Technorati ranking: 850,618 with 7 links from 4 blogs
My first ever posts were on the sad death of Alan Davidson and on Reed Elsevier's share price.
I use TypePad's own statistical tools to analyse traffic, but have supplemented these with Google Analytics
Future plans: I should like to integrate it more with http://www.roper.org.uk, which is not much used, to do which I need to enable domain mapping
It would be nice to increase traffic though it grows, but slowly. The more I comment on events I've been to, the more people seem to com here. I should probably make more use of it for projects I'm involved in
Why are trackbacks so low? It seems to me a useful way of linking conversations.
These statistics are a way of avoiding the more important question, why the hell do I do it and why does anyone bother to read it? To those questions I have no cogent answers.
