Blog Stats - 13/05/13

    I'm rather busy at the moment, so a breakdown of the blog stats will have to do for now.  Hopefully I'll have more content up soon, but until then you can read over the stats.  Yes, I do like reading stats like this, guess my psychology and social science background is a big part of who I am.

Changes over time:
    Currently there are 52,834 total views of this blog, an average of 3,302 per month (as I write this).  So far this month has remained consistent, with the last few three months, as such I expect approximately 10,000 views over May.  It was odd to have such a large jump in February (8,227 views) and March (10,158 views), I have no explanation at all for such a large jump in traffic.

    It will be interesting to watch the blog traffic as content slows down, I have often wondered about how the frequency of posting could influence views.  My university classwork and thesis continue to take more and more of my time, meaning I will have less time to write for this blog.  It's an inevitable shame, but an interesting excuse to play learn more about how the blog traffic works.
