At first I figured I was going to just insert a reminder post about some of the reasons a web master should also run a blog. But, as I was reviewing posts looking for the last relevant posting I found some disturbing data as it relates to the rest of this blog post. I'll address that data at the end of the post, with a comment plus a few related early blog posts.
The numbers below represent visits to the Engineering Site from this blog over the last thirty days.
The date represent when the blog posts were written with the number of visits from those posts.
The number of visits from blogger represent 84 visits from 15 different pages off blogger [although they are just shown by year of post].
The point of this post is to show that even after years of writing a blog posting, it still gets visits and provides referring hits to interfacebus.com. [Why Blog; Sep 12 2007]
Referral visits from Blogger [blogspot]
by page generation date:
42 referrals from 2010 posts
0 referrals from 2009 posts
3 referrals from 2008 posts
15 referrals from 2007 posts
10 referrals from 2006 posts
14 referrals from 2005 posts
The other blog site which only shows new pages included on the engineering site brings in even more traffic.
But in the last thirty days that blog sent over 82 referring visits from 26 different blog posts.
I did notice a spike in visits yesterday which has me wondering why.
I should note that this blog had 771 page views over the last thirty days, while the 'what's new blog' only received 354 page views.
That's page views in these blogs not sending traffic to the main site which is discussed about in this blog posting.
However you can read these blogs from a newsfeed, but these numbers don't reflect that.
The graphic shows incoming visits to the Engineering Site from these blogs over the last four years. Looks like there's been a steady decline in visits from mid last year. The middle of last year I stared a newsfeed, then near the end of last year I removed some permanent links from this blog that pointed to the web site. Now the newsfeed carries all these same posts, but if some one clicks over to the web site it doesn't appear to come from this blog.
