Some interesting stats

Blogger provides an interesting range of tools to help the erstwhile blogger maximize the performance of his or her pages.  Among other things, there is a rolling compilation of visitor statistics, and I thought it might be interesting to see what this tells me about the people visiting here.

Since April there have been 1,184 hits on this blog.  About half of these came through in July.

The most popular page is A Curious Case of Organological Iconography, which has had 106 visitors, most of whom found it via google searches.  Other pages with good hit rates are the ones discussing choir training activities.  This is a strand of thought which has been a bit subsumed by other worries in the last couple of months, and one to which I do intend to return.

52% of visitors view this blog through Mozilla Firefox, 36% using Internet Explorer.  I have had visitors using iPhone and iPad.

People have found this page through searches to do with organ music, choir training, some of the pieces I've loaded up for your edification and some of my ruminations on the happenings at the VCA.  Google has wended people here from America, Ireland, Britain, and Canada.  Yahoo searches have even sent a few viewers in this direction.  It appears that some of my concert titles have had high value in search engine optimization.

And where are these people?  Over 800 hits have come from within Australia, over 200 from the US, with lesser figures from Canada, the UK, Ireland and Denmark.

So, thanks for reading -- and please keep reading!
