Seems like most of the visitors go to my PHP pages and it appears the highest visited post about Stores Online has dropped considerably since the comments were turned off. The site still gets more than 200 page views (not sure about the unique visitors) and maxs out around 400 page views. Not sure about the feed statistics, but I still plan on writing a plugin which will hopefully let me know about that.
Really, this site will never get many people visiting it and if it does, I’ll probably have to move my more insane posts off, so I don’t offend people that can’t take a joke. However, 200 to 400 page views does not translate to that many visitors. I probably don’t get more than 50 visitors. That said the last time I had Google Analytics, most people would read one or two articles and then leave. The site also has several pages with extremely high bounce rates. For example, there is one about game raping, which didn’t discuss actual games about raping (I hope they don’t exist), but being raped in a game.
When people realize it doesn’t have anything to do with the former, they immediately leave and try the next link. I think mine is after Penny Arcade, so hopefully they understand the reference. There are several other posts like that where they immediately leave, one is about scam online sex-buddy web sites (where you hook up with a lady or man for sex, but not the pay for kind).
Although, I’ll say about 90% of my site isn’t visited by anyone. Also, the posts where I think a lot of people will be interested in turn out to not the case and posts I don’t expect people will care about end up getting a whole lot of traffic. I’m thinking more and more about the experimental blog site and I’m thinking more and more about going ahead with it.
I’m thinking of starting it in February and then launching it in August. I’m going to shoot for about 4 to 6 months of material. The Journal parts should be fairly easy with about 200 to 500 words per post. Those will be daily and will need to be around 150 posts before the blog is launched. I should also say that about a half of the Journal posts will need to be over 1000 and less than 3000. It will be formed in about chapters. The first chapter will establish the character “behind” the blog, the second chapter will introduce the new owner, which will fill in details that the first chapter couldn’t fill in with the lead character.
I suppose I’ll know more about the direction when I start writing content for the story.
