Note (April 14, 2008) When I started my new website on April 12, 2006, it was as an experiment. I had no idea if it would be of use to anybody and if I had anything to offer the Internet community at large would find at all interesting. All I was sure of was that information about me and my books would not be sufficient. The pages would have to offer "content," and the search engines would have to dig it up before it could be reached by anyone. Only then the website stood any chance of attracting readers who did not know me beforehand and did not come for my sake. Exactly two years later the time has come to review a few statistics. In these past two years the website had 227419 visitors (not counting visitors returning within half an hour). Roughly half of them (114211) were search engine robots. That leaves up to 113208 real persons. These persons came from 75 countries, the majority from the German speaking ones (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and, for the English language pages, from the anglophone countries hidden in the top level domains com, net and edu, followed by France, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan, Poland, the Czech Republic and on to San Marino, Tuvalu and Uruguay. The search engine robots identified by the statistics function my ISP keeps running along were Yahoo with 64333 visits (56%), Google with 27358 (24%), msn with 19504 (17%) and Ask Jeeves with 4786 (4%). This is in stark contrast to the referrals by search engines: 69037 visitors (30%) came by way of Google, 3924 (0,02%) by way of Yahoo and 195 (0%) by way of msn. That is, 64333 visits by Yahoo robots netted only 3924 visits via Yahoo, while 27358 visits from Google achieved 69037 visits via Google. Of these, 3924 were in search of images. The two other locations that provided a sizable number of visits were the Wikipedia (13685) and Zembla (1665). These were the operating systems used by visitors: Windows 86%, Linux 8% and MacOS 6%. The browsers show an equal predilection for Microsoft: Internet Explorer 59%, Mozilla/Firefox 29%, Safari 4%; the rest is negligible. There are more than a thousand webpages of text and images on the present website, equalling a few thousand pages of printed text. Most of them have been clicked at some time or the other. However, there are a few clear favorites. In 2006, these were the ZEIT articles on "wild children" (wildekinder1989), published in 1989 (1522 visits), twins (zwillinge1989), also from 1989 (1040) and the excerpts from my book on battery chicken from 1983 (huehner1983), with 782 visits−much to my surprise, for the book had been my biggest flop. When the first LolitaUSA pages were launched in June 2006, the picture changed. From the outset they took the lead. The opening page alone (LoUSpre) achieved 5471 hits in 2007. Second on the list was the contents page (nfw_toc) of the Nabokov Family Web (2826); the German chicken page (huehner1983) was third (1036). From Jan 1 to Apr 12, 2008, LoUSpre was wanted 3979 times. With 1159 hits, a 1969 ZEIT article on what was going on at the publishing house Rowohlt (rowohlt1969) held second rank (1159), and huehner1983 found itself in third place. Over the past two years, these were the favorites: 1. LolitaUSA opening page: 9441 visits 2. "Wild children" (wildekinder1989): 4558 visits 3. Nabokov Family Web (nfw_toc): 3829 visits 4. Chicken (huehner1983): 3612 visits 5. Nabokov's Berlin (nabberlin2002): 3506 visits 6. Twins (zwillinge1989): 2981 visits 7. Language use on private Internet pages (unverbesserlichkeit2005): 2436 visits 8. Personal recollections of the end of WWII (kriegsende2005): 1661 visits 9. Theories of aggression (aggression1989): 1588 visits 10. On grief and mourning (trauer1981): 1582 visits The position of the chicken book excerpts has been reinforced by the addition, in 2007, of a 1983 ZEIT article on battery hens that had started my book. Including its 1148 hits takes the chicken theme up to rank 2. Both article and book are definitely out of date in 2008, but people still seem to be in search of information on the topic. The encryption of my e-mail address has been a thorough success. While my old address that had been on my previous homepage was receiving up to 110 spam mails a day (the number dropped to 35 after new legislature), the new address which appears nowhere on the new website has received only seven in two years. It pays to deter the robots that roam the Internet for addresses. |
