SCIY's Readership sets new record in April 2008

Originally posted on sciy.org by Ron Anastasia on Thu 01 May 2008 12:00 PM PDT  

[ SCIY's page views totaled 1,986,013 hits through the end of April 2008.

We reached a new high of 36,102 Distinct Hosts Served (Distinct Readers) during the month of April 2008, a substantial 22% increase from March's previous record.

We had 158,669 total Page Views during the month of April 2008, a decrease of 8% from the record number of Page Views in March.

Our Bandwidth during April was 12,213 Total Megabytes Transferred, a slight decrease of 4% from the record Megabytes transferred in March.

These numbers indicate that our average Distinct Reader viewed slightly fewer pages during April than they did in March, possibly due to the longer average length of the articles posted during April. ... ]

BlogHarbor's definitions of Terms Used:


• Distinct hosts served

This is a count of the individual computers that accessed at least one page of your blog during that day and month.

 

By "distinct", we mean that if the same computer accesses your blog more than once, it will still count as only one host.

 

Note that while you can use this number to estimate the number of readers you had on a particular day or month, it counts computers, not people. A computer that gets used by several people who all read your blog still counts as just one distinct host.


• Total Page Views


This is the number of pages from your blog viewed during that [day and] month.

• Bytes transferred


Whenever someone views a page on your blog, information is transferred from the system's servers to their computer. This statistic is a measure of the amount of transferred information for that day and month.

 

To give you a sense of perspective, both Tolstoy's novel 'War and Peace' and a typical medium-to-high quality picture taken on a 3-megapixel camera at 2016-by-1512 resolution are each said to represent 1 million bytes (or 1 megabyte) of data.
