Blog Statistics for June

Okay, as of 8:00am today there have been 294 page loads at Virtual High School Meanderings from 198 unique visitors. This includes 115 first time visitors (i.e., came once and that was enough for them) and 83 returning visitors. On average the blog receives 4 first time visitors and 3 returning visitors a day. The busiest days were Wednesday, 08 June and Thursday, 09 June, both with 22 visitors.

In looking at how people find the blog, the two most consistent paths to me come from New Zealand this month:

• blog.core-ed.net/derek/
• www.virtuallearning.school.nz/spaces/space.php?space_key=2

In terms of search engines, Google and Technorati are still neck in neck.

Some of the more popular entries this past month include

• From the Business Section: Online Learning Scores High
• Why Teach Online?
• Do Today's Students Think Differently?
• Seven Principles for Good Online Teaching
• Is Online Learning the Future?
• Teaching in a Virtual High School

It is interesting to note that two of these are entries that I made back in May.

Well, the Geoloc map is starting to get a few spots on it (and will probably be removed today due to my inability to read French and figure out what they want me to do to credit my account). This month Virtual High School Meanderings received first-time visitors from Israel, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Switzerland, Hungary, Republic of Korea (i.e., South Korea), Uruguay, and Brazil.

This is added to the visitors that have already come from Canada, the United States, Venezuela, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Estonia, Turkey, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Ukraine, South Africa, Iran, India, the Philippines and Japan. This brings the total to visitors from thirty-two different countries to this blog.

Anyway, those are some of the statistics for this blog over the past month. I'll be back again at the end of July with another update.
