stats for 2011

The end of the year has come and as is my habit I trotted over to Site 5 to see what happened at Crochet Cabana this year. I love statistics. :-)

Here are the general stats which I put at Crochet Cabana (on the bottom of the page) every year.

Here's what happened at the Cabana in 2011

The top 25 countries to visit (in order of how many page visits) were

I always wonder when I look at the stats - who were those people in Zimbabwe who looked at 2 pages. There were 61 hits on those 2 pages. Was it the same person visiting 61 times or 61 people visiting once? What pages did they find interesting? Curious.


The smallest number of hits was 14 and it was in Mauritania.

I was crawled thousands of times by spiders. Doesn't that just make your skin crawl. :-)

426 people spent more than an hour on the site at a time. I am blessed by each visit, no matter the duration, but wow. 

For the curious here's how it laid out.
0s-30s    72,003    82.9 %
30s-2mn    4,589    5.2 %
2mn-5mn    3,300    3.8 %
5mn-15mn    3,415    3.9 %
15mn-30mn    1,723    1.9 %
30mn-1h    1,357    1.5 %
1h+    426    0.4 %




Most people accessed the site through various versions of Windows, Mac or Linus operating systems, but there were a few people who use the Wii, Sony Playstation (didn't even know that was possible!), WebTV or their Blackberry. There were others that I am not familiar with too.


The top browsers used to access the site were
MS Internet Explorer   
    Firefox   
    Safari
    Google Chrome   
    Android browser
    Opera   
    Mozilla
    IPhone
    BlackBerry



I personally use Firefox.


Those using a search engine most often used Google, Yahoo, or Bing with the granny square topping the list of what you were looking for.

I clicked on a few of the links that had only one visit and some of them were pages I didn't even know existed - like a listing of all the images on the site. Who knew? LOL Someone obviously did since they accessed it.

There were a number of errors (the 404 thing you get when you hit a page that doesn't work). That makes me sad. I would love it if you receive that kind of error you would let me know so I can fix it.

Well, that's probably a lot more information than you wanted to know unless you're a statistics fanatic like me. LOL


Happy crocheting!

  1. That is really interesting. But then I am a computer geek who also crochets. I am one of those who check your site daily to see if there is anything new and to check a few old posts. Good luck for next year.

  2. I am also a computer geek who also crochets. LOL Nice to meet you, Linda, and thanks for keeping up with the blog. (P.S. I loved the picture of the dishwasher with the suds - had to pin it)
