Why do Web Stat Counters Differ

2009-07-04T10:15:00.004-04:00

So I was looking at the Manufacturers listing section again, just to see how that section was doing. Looks like there are 95 individual pages that make up the manufacturers section. There are 10 pages that make up the listing of companies that start with the letter 'A', as an example.

The graphic shows two examples of counters that might track incoming visitors, both counters represent page views.

The top counter is from Google Adsense and the bottom counts represents page views from Google Analytics. Both counters require JAVA Script to be enabled in the browser.

But why are the counters so different, there both from Google? The Adsense counter seems to be counting at a higher rate than the Analytics counter. Note the scales differ between each counter.

Pages with the least amount of visitors;
Component Vendors, 'Us'.
IC Vendors, 'Ap'.
Equipment Manufacturers, 'Go'.
IC Manufacturers, 'Gen'.
These are the bottom 4, but it could be these page were only generated last year and may not be as old as some of the other pages.....

Links from an External Page

2009-07-02T04:14:00.005-04:00

One of the data points AWSTATS provides is a listing of Links from External Pages.
AWSTATS is the server side counter used by interfacebus.com.
With the start of the new month the listing is small and still workable. Scrolling down the list the column indicating page visits goes blank, while still indicating hits to the site.

That normally means that another site is directly linking to graphic files on my server [site]. The site is using my graphics from my server. The graphic wasn't copied, it's being used directly from my server ~ using up my bandwidth. Not really sure if I like that better than just taking a copy of my picture file.

So I checked a few of the sites using the largest bandwidth [most hits] and visit the other web site. Once I find the graphic file their linking to, I go back to my server change the name of the pic file and up-date my pages so that they to point to the new file name. I save bandwidth and they end up with a broken link. Some times I'll leave the old file name valid but change the pic file to a graphic of my site address :)

Both sites I check were forums, which normally don't allow people to upload graphics. Web sites normally just take the graphics out-right.

The attached graphic is an example forum site that had copied one of my pic files. Some time last year I changed the file name and had a graphic of my site name up-loaded......

Alexa Demographics

2009-07-01T19:32:00.005-04:00

Alexa is one of many web sites that collects data on web site visits, but with Alexa you have to run their tool bar. With out the tool bar they don't collect any data.

So they only gather data from a certain group of people, and not from every one who might visits a site. Because of this I've never worried about the over all stats they display because I know it's only from a small segment of the population. However at the same time, many people also think the opposite.

Any way here is a partial data chart from Alexa for interfacebus.com.

The green represent above average visits from a group, while red represents below average visits. So the web site brings in older male visitors that are highly educated while they are at work.

Start a Blog to Gain Site Visitors

2009-06-26T17:52:00.003-04:00

I've been working this Blog for 3 and a half years now, starting in Nov 2005. Pretty much 3/4 web site topics with the rest being engineering topics.

I started a second blog in Oct 2007 to cover page additions to interfacebus.com. In most cases I list what ever new pages are added to the site, but I'm sure I miss a few now and again.

The attached graph shows the combined visits to both blogs. The large spike at the center of the chart shows when the second blog was started [spikes are per day].

Using Google Analytics [which was started mid 2006] shows this Blog referred 3,045 people to interfacebus [46.21% blog traffic]. While the 'What's new Blog' sent over 2,605 referrals [39.53% blog traffic]. And that's with the second blog starting a year later. In fact just looking at this year, the 'What's new blog' referred 812 visits, while this blog sent over another 531 visits.

Seems like a good reason to start a blog

SEO Tactics and Visits from Image Searches

2009-06-22T08:57:00.008-04:00

One sure way of getting new site visitor is from image searches. Just like receiving incoming visitors from a text based search, images can bring in new visitors. Plus images go along way to adding support to the text it's related to on the page.

The attached graphic shows weekly page visits from people using an image search, via a search engine. The data is from Google Analytics; Traffic Sources, Referring Sites, Filter 'image'.

So over the last three years there have been 43,437 visits to interfacebus.com via an image search. Now 43,000 site visits is not a very big number, and it's less than what the site gets in a single week.
More importantly the data indicates that 86.37% of the incoming hits were from new visitors. So 37,000 new people found my site who may not have otherwise ever found it, that's called free advertising.
Now the Bounce rate was only 67.77%, so 33% of the visitors jumped to more than one page on the site. I can't tell how many people book-marked the address or came back again, but it must be some percentage.

New pictures are being added to the site all the time. All images also always come with an html alt tag and title tag to help the search engine determine what the picture relates to. The picture file name is always descriptive, and most site graphics have a visible caption.

In fact the section on Definition of Resistor Terms was up-dated over the weekend with a few more graphics. At the same time any missing pic captions were added.

How to Increase Site Visits:
Just keep adding graphics to gain more visitors, but not so many that they slow down loading in the page. Keep in mind that there is a time lag between when a pic file is added and when the search engine finds it.

This blog brings in 100 visits a month, 61% new visits at a 61% Bounce Rate.

I Need More Visitors

2009-06-20T08:41:00.003-04:00

Visitors to interfacebus.com have been flat for years. I add new pages all the time, and of course I up-date and enhance existing pages at an even faster rate [Engineering Page Additions]. What ever I do to the web site, it seems to make no difference.

Of course some of the issues that effect the website are just out of my control. A third of the website is geared toward Computer Buses. Well as time moves on more and more of those PC Buses go obsolete. For example the PCI Express bus replaced both the PCI Bus and the AGP Bus, resulting in 5 pages replacing 8 pages [when pinout tables are counted].

Many new pages added are small in size and it takes time to work them while also doing routine maintenance to the website.

----- RoHS Definition [Added in 2006, no Page Rank, and only viewed 347 times]

Sometimes a page might seem like a good idea, but I never get around to working that particular issue.

----- PON Acronyms [Added in 2007, Page Rank 2, only viewed 263 times]

Maybe I start a page because I generate a new graphic and think it will support another page.

----- Compliant Pin Description [Added in 2008, Page Rank 2, only viewed 230 times]

Adding new pages does not guarantee visitors, as they still have to compete with preexisting pages on the web.

----- Manufacturers of Waveguide Gaskets [Added in 2009, no Page Rank, only viewed 71 times]

New pages also need three months before they receive a page rank from Google, if they ever get one at all. A Page Rank helps the page show up on page one of the search results.

Of course I have no control how my pages show up in the search results. The rise and fall based on an algorithm running on some computer. This page lost 50% of its visits in mid 2008 and stayed there.

----- Wire Insulation Color Codes [Added pre 2006, Page Rank 2]

FYI

The attached graphic is from Google Trends showing the Internet search history for the term AGP. Click the graphic for a larger image. The AGP interface [Accelerated Graphics Port] is the obsolete PC motherboard video bus which was replaced by the PCI Express [PCIe] bus.

Windows Vista Blows

2009-06-10T03:33:00.002-04:00

Ok it's 3 in the morning I can't sleep so I'm making a few page up-dates. I have around seven html pages open, which have just been updated. I'm checking pages based on Bounce rate, but pretty much I'm just making minor text changes.

The system slows down and gets my attention. Looking down I see a Windows up-date icon flashing in the task bar. I want to get this work down before the sun comes up so I ignore the flashing icon and continue making updates.

Well, I see a flash, all my windows close and my system re-boots. I lost what ever updates I had just made, and I don't even know what pages they were. Why did my system just shut down with out asking me?

MS Bing Search Engine

2009-06-05T10:21:00.005-04:00

So Microsoft came out with a new search engine; Bing. The pervious version was called live. Any way, Google Analytics is counting incoming visits from 'Bing' as a referring visit and not one from a search engine. So I have a 300 hit spike on the 2nd due to incoming hits from Bing, 600 hits as of yesterday. AWSTATS indicate 650 hits from Bing.

Guess what, AWSTATS shows hits this month from Windows Live as 169 visits. So I really like this Bing search engine, as it brings in 5 times the visitors from the older version.

I use Google Analytics as one of my Stats counter.

The server counter is called AWSTATS.

On a side note; Google's browser 'Chrome' is now bringing in 2.67% of the browser traffic. In coming visits from Chrome is slowly rising week by week.

Website Site Map

2009-06-01T19:56:00.004-04:00

I finally got around to up-loading the latest site map that I generated last month; Engineering Sitemap. I did notice that the previous version at the same location was never saved so I'm not really sure if it could have been found on the internet. The previous up-load date was 8/1/08 and the page address has no page rank even after 10 months on the internet...

Seems to be there now. But the pages out under Google Sites only bring in 10 visits/month to the main Engineering Site ~ which is not good.

Here are a few pages that are generating the least amount of pages views this year [in the single digits]:

BJT Multivibrator Definitions.

2N6758 Derating Graph.

2N6762 Derating Graph.

2N6766 T1 Package Derating Graph.

2N5002 Derating Graph.

Electrostatic Volatage Definition.

Cable Retractor Definition.

High Speed Serial Trace Specification.

Component Manufacturers, letter 'V'.

How To Design a Chassis, Index.

Broadband over Power Line.

Row C NuBus Pin out.

Rackmount Computer Vendors.

Computer Publications.

I'm sure there are dozens if not hundreds more that could be listed, but many of these are new pages.

Zenu Link Checking

2009-05-08T10:38:00.006-04:00

I ran Zenu on the web site today to check for bad links. To my surprise I found over a dozen bad links, and I have yet to finish checking all the links from the report.

The report from Zenu provides dozens of so call bad links, but many are just sites that just don't answer fast enough or sites that don't allow robots to check them. In either case I have to hand check all those links. The report indicated 6496 URL links that were ok, or 98% of the links. Some 27 links were reported as 'Bad', or 0.4%. However in some cases a bad link may reside on more than one page, so I've uploaded 18 pages to correct the bad links.

In addition to correcting a few bad links I also fixed a few re-directs, so the link points to the new page with out having the browser do the redirect. I did notice that many of my links that pointed to many internal Intel pages were no longer working; I ended up deleting those links.

Never really understand why a web master would cause a link to go bad. I just don't see how that helps a web site. In any case Intel just lost a few incoming links. The section of the web site with the largest number of bad links was Interface Bus Descriptions. Followed by the section covering Electronic Component Manufacturers.

Zenu also generates a sitemap so over the week end I'll be uploading a new site map to cover all the new pages that have been added to the web site over the last few months.

The correct name for Zenu is Zenu Link Sleuth and of 4/25/09 they have a new version of the program for download [version 1.3c].

The attached graphic is produced from Google Analytics and has nothing to do with Zenu. Click on the pic file for a larger image.

Web Site StatCounter

2009-05-07T18:36:00.006-04:00

Here is the latest webStats for interfacebus.com. You'll note that there has been a bit of an improvement over the last few months.

Visits are up over the last year, that includes Unique visits and Total Visits. Normally the first of the year shows an increase in site visits, or the increase could be due to work done to the web site during the end of last year.

The increase in Page Visits tells me that the site Bounce Rate is decreasing. Which means that people are checking out more pages per visits ~ which is always a good thing.

However; over the last 3 and a half years these lines are flat ~ after 3 years of work.........

Zero Google Page Rank for Component Vendors

2009-04-22T22:12:00.004-04:00

There are a number of distinct sections for topics on the web site. One section just lists manufacturers or vendors in alphabetic order. Because it's a section consisting of about 100 pages, I track it.

Back in June of 2008 I posted a listing of all the pages with in the section that had a zero Google Page Rank: Page Rank and Listing of Manufacturers. Guess I'm checking again.... I really see no improvement in the component pages yet.
Page hits have fallen by 50% from Jan. 2007. But the Bounce rate as decreased by 50% as well [which is a good think]. Of course the 'A' components page gets the most hits, followed by the page that covers 'D' vendors, and so on.

Component Manufacturers with no Page Rank:
Equipment Manufacturers, Ae [A2].
Equipment Manufacturers, Amd [A4].
Equipment Manufacturers, Ap [Ap].
Equipment Manufacturers, Ar [A6].
Equipment Manufacturers, Asq [A7].
Equipment Manufacturers, Av [A8].
Equipment Manufacturers, Be [Be].
Equipment Manufacturers, Bi [B1].
Equipment Manufacturers, Bl [Bl].
Equipment Manufacturers, Br [B2].
Equipment Manufacturers, Cm [C3].
Equipment Manufacturers, Con [C4].
Equipment Manufacturers, Cp [C5].
Equipment Manufacturers, Dem [D1].
Equipment Manufacturers, E.
Equipment Manufacturers, Ec [Ec].
Equipment Manufacturers, El [E1].
Equipment Manufacturers, Em [E2].
Equipment Manufacturers, Ev [E4].
Equipment Manufacturers, Em [F1].
Equipment Manufacturers, Ga [G].
Equipment Manufacturers, Ge [Gen].
Equipment Manufacturers, Gi [G1].

I stop checking all but the main page for each letter. But I don't see any rank for any of these pages listed below.

Equipment Manufacturers, H.
Equipment Manufacturers, J.
Equipment Manufacturers, K.
Equipment Manufacturers, L.
Equipment Manufacturers, N.
Equipment Manufacturers, O.
Equipment Manufacturers, P.
Equipment Manufacturers, Q.
Equipment Manufacturers, R.
Equipment Manufacturers, S.
Equipment Manufacturers, U.
Equipment Manufacturers, V.
Equipment Manufacturers, X.
Equipment Manufacturers, Y.
Equipment Manufacturers, Z.

So many of these pages were just updated. So any bad links have been removed and replaced with just a text listing. I've also been adding text to indicate the date a company was acquired by another manufacturer. Why are these pages lacking any page ranking.

So this listing will provide yet another link to the pages that require a ranking. More external links mean a page rank? Maybe the number of links on each page are bleeding page rank, but what would be the point with out the links.

Any way, the updates over the last few months have not been picked up by any search engine yet.

How to decrease Bounce Rate

2009-02-13T10:04:00.006-05:00

So how do you reduce Bounce Rate, or the rate at which a person only visits one page of a web site and then jumps away to another site. Seems like I've been looking at this awhile now, with some page updates devoted to reducing Bounce Rate. I even see a blog posting from last May concerning Bounce Rate.

Yet I don't see any improvement. However there has been a slight improvement in a few sections of the web site;
Dictionary of Resistor Terms.
Component Derating.
But no changes in other sections.

Of course it's a bit hard to track individual pages, because there are so many. I could improve one page yet the bounce rate on another page decreases for some random reason.
Bounce Rate is important, but only because I see a steady decrease in page views, but no decrease in site visits. Which means the same amount of people visits the site, but over the last few years click to less pages per visit.

New Pages and the result [Title, Date added, Bounce Rate]
Diode Terms, 11/3/07, Bounce rate GOOD [80% last year to 60%]
Minimum Annular Ring Definition, 11/4/07, Poor, [75% steady]
Dictionary of Capacitor Terms, 11/17/07, Average, [60% steady]
Multi-Colored LEDs, 11/20/07, Average [60% falling]
CEC Interface, 11/29/07, Poor [80% rising]
MicroUSB, 11/28/07, Poor, [80% rising]

More Page Views equals a low Bounce Rate. Web Site; Personal Computer Signal Assignments.

Number of Daily Visits

2009-02-07T10:06:00.003-05:00

Looks like there is an increase in Daily Visits to the site. January had on average about 8,000 total visits per day, with a few days having around 8,300 visits [as reported by AWSTATS].

This week the visits have grown to around 8,500 visits a-day, or up about 500 per day.

There is no way to tell why the site sees an increase, but it could be due to what ever work was added to the site back in December. Of course there is also no way to tell how long the increase will last.

The important points in the graphic are Number of Visits and Pages. Web Site; PC Bus Pinouts.

Hits for the 7th are no yet in the report. On average from Jan the highest hits come in on Tuesday and Wednesday. Monday is a close third after Tuesday. Visits start to fall off on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Slowing rebounding on Sunday, I assume from over-seas.

Total Unique Visits

2009-02-01T10:06:00.003-05:00

I haven't posted this chart in a while. The chart to the left contains the same data for Unique Visitors as the last posting. The difference here is that the data goes back to 2001, and the chart does not contain the other traffic information. Click the chart for a larger view.

It may appear that there are large fluctuations in the traffic over the last few years, but the graph is misleading. The 'Interface Bus' site receives around 8,000 unique visits a day so a short month or a holiday will reduce those peaks by several thousand hits. A holiday could reduce the number of hits from 8,000 to 2,000, while a short month could lower the graph by 16,000 visits. Most of fluctuations are down 10 to 15,000.

In 2006 the server went down for a few days and the site lost more than 20,000 visitors. In 2005 the counter was changed to one that appeared more strict in counting. But a few months later the graph still showed more visitors regardless.

So as far as I'm concerned unique visitors to the web site have been flat from 2006 on. Stable is fine, but I would rather see some increase in site visits. I still work the site, but it seems the best I can do is keep things stable.

One common reason for a lack of any increase is interface bus obsolescence. Pages written years ago see less and less visitors as the topic moves to obsolescence. For Example the page on the PCI interface bus has fallen from 1,000 hits a week in mid 2006 to about 500 hits last week. The page on the AGP bus has seen the same reduction over the same time period. Because of PCIe both those computer interfaces were already on their way out by 2006.

The chart covers January 2001 to January 2009. I do have data back to 1999, but it would not help the graph and just make the graphic larger than needed.

Internet visits for the month of Jan

2009-01-31T07:21:00.003-05:00

Web site visits for January came in at about what I expected. I still can't get the site's visits to increase, it may not look like it but these number are really flat.

The site receives around 8,000 visits a day, so on months with a holiday or with only 28 days the site hits could reduce by over 20,000 just because it's a short month.

Server Bandwidth:
The lowest curve is server bandwidth and does not relate to the other numbers on the chart. The bandwidth is hovering around 100,000 [on the chart] but really equates to 10GB as the numbers were changed to fit the graph.

Unique Visits:
Are visits from a computer within a month, but any one computer is only counted one time. If any one computer returns for a second visit it's counted by the Visits curve.

Visits:
A site visit is registered each time a person visits the site within a month and each time the person returns to the site. Site Visits should always be equal to or greater than Unique Visits.

Page Views:
Are the number of pages a person views per month, regardless of how many times the visitor returns to the web site. Page Views should always be equal to or greater than Site Visits. Page views are really the only data point that is falling. Page Views is related to Bounce Rate, which is the percentage a person visits one page and then leaves the site.

Bounce Rate:
The Bounce Rate for interfacebus is 71% for January. Or 71% of the people that visited the site viewed only one page during the month. Some individual pages have Bounce Rates of 20% while some may have rates as high as 98%. One page I just looked at [30-Pin SIMM] had a 77% Bounce Rate. When I looked at the data the Bounce Rate would cycle from 100% to 50% or 0%. So I went ahead and added links to simular memory modules; 72-Pin SIMM. Not really sure why I cared those 30 pin SIMMs have been obsolete for a decade now. But I know why the links were missing, key-word contamination, confussing the search engine as to what page the 72-pin SIMM was really on.

Google Knol Awards

2009-01-30T15:37:00.006-05:00

Seems two of the Knols I wrote have won some awards. The two Knols both won a top viewed award, and a Top Pick Knol award. I assume somebody at Google made the notation for the "award", because they don't indicate any thing other than a small medal. Or this could just be like a smiley face kind of award. If it makes the knols show up sooner in a Knol search, that would be good.

I really would like to have the knols bring in more traffic to my web site. I think I posted the first Knol back in August 2008, now I have nine Knols. The two Knols that have the traffic banner have seen thousands of page views, but have only resulted in a few hundred visits to interfacebus.com.

Incoming traffic from Google Knol is sitting at 0.03% tracked over the last several months. But the search engine brings in the most when tracking hits due to Google.

Of course writing a web page and hoping for page views or traffic is more luck than another thing else. I added a few pages on FET derating over the last month, but they are only generating a few page views a day. In fact the page views are so low for that section they could just be from me checking the page.

Page hits and visits are up for January over December and may end up higher than either October and November.

Internet Visits from Africa

2009-01-24T07:06:00.003-05:00

Here is a graphic showing web visits from the continent of Africa. The five sub-continent regions are shown indicating the amount of incoming traffic.

Northern Africa = 10,546 visits
Eastern Africa = 4,599 visits
Middle Africa = 269 visits
Western Africa = 3,241 visits
Southern Africa = 11,901 visits

In this map Southern Africa is made up of 3 countries; Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa. As you might guess South Africa produced all the visits with 11,379 hits. What's interesting is that when I zoom into South Africa to see the visits from the cities places like Cape Town don't place high. Johannesburg produced the largest visits followed by Pretoria and Auckland Park. I had to look up Auckland Park...

Eastern Africa is made up of 18 different countries, with Kenya producing the most visits; 1,460

Middle Africa only provided 269 visits from 8 different countries for an entire year. Cameroon had the most visits at 138.

Western Africa is divided into 16 different countries. Nigeria brought in the most traffic with 1,908 visits.

By far Egypt provided the most traffic from Northern Africa at 6,471.

Internet Visits from Asia

2009-01-23T15:23:00.003-05:00

Normally I'll post graphics showing internet visits from countries or states within the US, this time it's the continent of Asia.
Western Asia visits = 54,370 hits
Southern Asia visits = 155,262 hits
Central Asia visits = 568 hits
Eastern Asia visits = 127,655 hits
South-Eastern Asia = 98,395 hits

Because of all the traffic from India, Southern Asia shows the largest amount of traffic.

While at the same time frame Central Asia has only a few incoming visits. Central Asia is made up of five break-away provinces from the USSR [in the 90's ?]. Guess that's why they were permitted to break-away, they had no internet or technology.

Israel provided the most traffic from Western Asia, just slightly above the traffic from Turkey.

China which was closely followed by South Korea sent in the most traffic from Eastern Asia.

The Philippines in South-Eastern Asia sent in the most traffic from that location.

Generating traffic from any of these countries is really out of my control. As I could always just want more traffic from the U.S. and spend time trying to generate more interest in this country. It's still interesting to see the location of incoming traffic. Plus, judging from the locations or time-zones, this is all traffic during the middle of the night ~ which is great.

Resistor Manufacturers

2009-01-12T18:14:00.004-05:00

As part of interfacebus, I've had a page covering Manufacturers of Resistors on the web for about ten years now. The page covering Resistors is well established after 10 years on the internet

The Resistor vendors page grows in size or reduces as links are added or removed. The other day four 'redundant' manufacturers were removed from the listing as they all pointed to the company that acquired them. Normally I'll leave a reference to a company that was purchased so people can still find the new company, but after awhile the old link gets removed.

From the "What's New blog" I see a new page dealing with Current Sense Resistors was added in April 2008. Adding a related page to resistors means removing all references to Current Sense Resistors from the main Resistor listing, so that they only show up on the new page, other wise both pages would appear to cover the same topic. Of course removing any information relating to current sense resistors reduces the amount of text from on the main resistor page.

April 2008 also saw a number of new pages that related to Resistors but did not require information being drained off the main resistor page. The new pages provided more incoming links [external pages linking to] the Resistor Manufacturers page. Incoming links should help a page gain visits by providing additional ways to find a page topic. How ever at the same time similar topics on the same web site could end up dividing the traffic between all related topics.

The point is I see a reduction in visits to the Resistor Manufacturers page over the last few years. Page views in 2006 seemed flat, but appeared to start decreasing from 2007 on. Page visits look stable from July 2008 on but are down 60 percent.

Googlebot Crawl Stats

2009-01-11T13:36:00.003-05:00

Here is the latest graph on Googlebot crawl stats, or how often the Googlebot spider checks interfacebus.com. For reference, the previous Googlebot crawl rate.

The previous 90 days ending in October showed an average of 452 pages spidered each day, while this chart shows 523 pages a day.

The amount of data down-loaded has increased to over 6,405k bytes [6Meg], but the time spent downloading the information has decreased by 100mS. So the spider is reading more data faster, which is good.
July crawl rate.
Sep 07 crawl rate.
