Percentages
RANDOM MUSINGS
on the
fin-de-millénaire games scene . . .
3 August 2009
. . .
When
you run a website you also tend to
get a lot of statistics and percentages.
There are also third party sites such as
Alexa that attempt to estimate these numbers.
The latter turn out to be wildly at variance
with the actual ones.
For numbers fans, I thought some of these numbers
might be fun to share. The following are for the just
completed month of July 2009:
Visitors and Hits Ranked By Days of the Week:
- Monday

- Thursday

It appears many of you are reading the site at work. Naughty, naughty!

Seems some browsers like to be mysterious these days.
Internet Explorer "appears" to be still ruling the roost.
Oh well, I suppose many have no choice.
