Domain Name expired

So my web site went off-line today from around 8am to 5pm. At first I figured it was something I had done because I was adding a few more passwords late last night. But it turns out that my Domain Name had expired.

Now the strange thing is that one of the first things I checked when I could not get my Hosting company to answer their phone. Whois indicated it would expire next year; however I did find an e-mail from last year from my hosting company that it would expire this year ~ So I'm not sure what is up.

What I'm not happy about is that it took about 8 hours for my hosting guy to answer my trouble ticket, their phone was never answered over the entire 8 hours either. I never even received a warning e-mail I was about to have an issue either, which turned out to be an old credit card on file with them.

Their home page indicates that because of all the great stuff they offer and their low price, they do not offer support. What? I've been with these guys for years and nothing is new, except for their lack of support. So it's time to start getting ready to get a new hosting company.

Disallow access to server stat files

So after 10 years on the web the spiders have found my server stat files, in this case AWSTATS. This is the program output I use to see data regarding site visitors; number of visits, page views, visit duration, key words and on and on. The program stores the data in large text [txt] files, but outputs the data to me in the form of charts and graphs. In fact the txt files are very large, multi-Mega Byte files, the graphs are some what smaller and more readable.

I would recommend that every web master add a 'Disallow' line to the robots.txt file to stop the web spiders from reading your stat files. In my case the line looks like this; Disallow: /awstats/.

The bottom curve is server bandwidth ~ the increase occurs as my stat files started showing up in my search results. Because the graph is set up to show number of visitors, the bandwidth is normalized. So the 100,000 horizontal bar which indicates 100,000 visits or page views... indicates 10GB of server bandwidth for the bottom curve. The 200,000 line indicates 20GB for bandwidth

I only noticed the server text files showing up in search result about a month ago, because normally I don't need to search my own engineering site ~ right, I wrote it. So I only added a 'block' to the robots file a few weeks ago; however I recommend that you block access now even if you don't have an issue. It only takes a few minutes to add and if you pay for bandwidth or blocked if you exceed bandwidth it may well be worth the time.

If you look back to 2006/2007 you can see that bandwidth tracked unique visits, but by 2008 the gap stated to widen. Two years before Google started to rank pages on down-load speed I had already started to make the web site more efficient.

Unfortunately now the bandwidth data is meaningless, because it only shows these large txt statistic files being downloaded. For example one 2.52MB txt file was downloaded 230 times last month, a 4.11MB file was downloaded 98 times. That's 328 visitors that used the search bar and received bogus results, are they going to come back for a second visit? Really its much worse, before I stopped counting, there were 1,206 people last month who thought that one of those text files was a valid search return.

Comparing Site Vists

I figured I would take another look at how the site is doing compared to last year. As of last week the site is still getting 10% more site visits than the same week last year.

Over all the web site is still getting more than 17% more web visits year-to-date, down 1% from 3 weeks ago. The first week of June had the lowest increase with only 6% more visits to the site. The largest increase in visits occurred on the last week in Jan with a 26% increase.

Over all the site is showing a 15% increase over 2008 visits, and about a 14% increase over 2007.

The graph compares web visits for 2010 and 2009 ~ by week.


Page-views [not shown] are down 4%, year to date over last year.

Site views and page ranking

So the numbers are in for last month. Site visits are down over the last month, but over-all page views have increased a bit. Now if the numbers follow the same yearly trend there should be an even bigger reduction in site visits next month. I think I'll wait until next month before I re-post the page visits graph, there's really no need to post the same graph every month.

After I noticed yesterday that a few more of my pages have been included into the Google Index, I figured I would try and find a few pages that are yet to be added. It didn't take to long to find a year old page with out a page rank. The links are Component page followed by the mention of the component in the 'whats new blog'.
How to Derate 2N4239 Transistor. [posted on 6/4/2009 When to Derate a Transistor]
How to Derate a 2N3743. [posted on 1/30/2009 Derate a BJT by Temperature]
How to Derate a 2N3485 Transistor. [posted on 2/12/2009 Recommendation on how to Derate a Transistor]
How to Derate a 2N4931 Transistor. [never posted in the blog].

I found these pages by looking at the report from Google Analytics, and clicking on a few pages that were getting almost no page views. None of these four pages have a Google page rank, and have only received a few page views this year. Of course re-posting their links here may not help these pages at all, but it may help them get re-spidered ~ as they were just up-dated.

Visitor Demographics, Web Site

Here is what Google Analytics has for the Engineering Site visitor demographics [year to date]. The graphic indicates visitors from the United States [US] only. Data is available for many other countries as well, but not all countries display this chart. There are also a number of additional tables of data that go along with graph, but there not as interesting.

Now I did get this chart from the Google Analytics, but it appears that the data was generated by Doubleclick [which Google purchased a year ago]. So I might assume that the data is not as good as if it really came from Google, because they track my visitors. However there are other sites that produce more or less the same data; but they use different methods of producing their data.

For example, Alexa produces some of the same graphs, but you would have to be using an Alexa tool-bar to be counted in their data. They indicate a small amount of Female visitors, while Doubleclick indicates none. Alexa also indicates many more visitors in the age range of 18-24, again doubleclick indicates zero visitors. I just looked at the Alexa data, but I do have a posting from 7/1/09 which shows what their charts look like [Alexa Demographics].

Quantcast also has some of the same data, but I'm not really sure how they get their information [see note below]. Here is another previous posting from 10/2/07 showing one of their charts [Quantcast data]. Their data is also different. I think it's so different I'll post their data to the right.  The time ranges between the two sets of the charts are different, but I'm just working with what I have. Either way, the two graphs show how or what different companies collect and how they display the data.

The point is who do you believe, and why doesn't Google use their own data. I guess Google is using the data from doubleclick because they already had the program. Then why doesn't Google send over the right data, they know every thing about my web site. Then again how would Google know if a visitor was a man or woman ~ there most have been some kind of sigh-up with doubleclick? 

Note: One method to generate information for Quantcast data is to add a small amount of code to your web page(s). For several months I had that code on my home page and a few other high traffic pages [out of 1,300 pages]. However I removed the code to increase page loading time. The real point is before I had added the code Quantcast had my monthly traffic at 9800 visitors, while after I added the code to those few pages the traffic went up to 39000 visitors. Currently it appears to be running around 22000, but that's not the point. How accurate is the data these sites provide.

Of course I don't care what my site's visitor demographics is, unless some company emailed and said they would only advertise if I had a particular kind of visitor ~ which has never happened.

I need to promote a few web pages that are getting no page views [less than 10 this year], sorry;

Incoming Visitor Patterns by Month

At first when I saw my stats drop a bit last month I started to think my pages got re-shuffled in Google. Just because they do that ever month. I was also thinking about a few previous post relating to what Google thinks of my page loading times.

But now that I see the data for a full month, the trend appears normal. For the last five years the hits per month have been about the same for Feb and Apr [for the same year]. No they are not identical, but within a few thousand visits, the two months track each other.

Now it could be that more Engineering tasks start in March. Or maybe the jobs start in Jan but March is the month people start looking for parts and start designing the gear ~ I'm not really sure how I would ever know.

But if these trend lines continue I assume I'll see lower page visits for the next four months; although still higher than in previous years.

Taking note of a few pages added in Jan of this year
Power Line Filtering; Visits double each month [but it started at 13 visits]
Panel Mount LEDs; Visits dropped each month
Capacitor Networks; Visits going up a few hits a month
Resistor Networks; Visits are holding steady.
New page never do well the first few months any way.

Web Visits vs NATO Member Countries

I wanted to show the relative increase in site visitors this year. So I picked year to date numbers compared to the same time interval last year. I also wanted to show a few random countries, so I used NATO Member Countries.

Currently March numbers are the highest ever of any other month, and there are still two days left. The first day of next month I'll show the standard bar graph of visitor status, or what ever I put up. But I wanted to detail something different before hand, another view of some of the data.


The over-all site is up about 20% over last year; however some of the countries listed below may show a higher or lower increase. None of the countries listed had a decrease in visitors to the web site [Engineering Data].


Now none of the [22] new pages generated this year are getting any web visits [yet]. So the increase in site visitors must be due to new pages added last year, or additions made to existing pages already residing on the web site. Maybe a few posts back I detailed how poorly the new page additions were doing.

NATO member states:
Albania;  27% increase
Belgium; 16% increase
Bulgaria; 35% increase
Canada;  22% increase
Croatia;  57% increase
Czech Rep;  32% increase
Denmark;  11% increase
Estonia;  52% increase
France;  24% increase
Germany;  24% increase
Greece;  25% increase
Hungary;  15% increase
Iceland;  6% increase
Italy;  19% increase
Latvia;  47% increase
Lithuania;  45% increase
Luxembourg;  3% increase
Netherlands;  7% increase
Norway;  27% increase
Poland;  17% increase
Portugal;  31% increase
Romania;  27% increase
Slovakia;  55% increase
Slovenia;  42% increase
Spain;  13% increase
Turkey;  17% increase
United Kingdom;  17% increase
United States;  11% increase

Now to be fair there have been some countries that show a decrease in site visits; for example, the 1 hit from the Vatican City did not return again this year. ~ this may appear to be a long posting, but it's just the list. I guess I forgot NATO started letting the eastern-block countries in for membership.

Just for the record, I just posted a comment to a blog post regarding Alexa data. Alexa indicates 11.1% of my site traffic is from Iran, while Google Analytics [site counter] indicates 0.43%. The data above is from Google Analytics, not some third party site.

Picasa Web Albums

So it would appear that Google's Picasa Web Albums is off-line, and I'm not really sure how long they've been down. The web site [Engineering Portal]  uses a lot of grapics and pic files, but not all of them are local to my server. I off-load some of them to Picasa to keep the server bandwidth down, which runs around 13G Bytes a month. Right, if someone else is serving the picture files then my bandwidth is not effected.

It's hard to say how many pic files reside on my server, as they could still reside in one of my directories but not used any more. So the count is an estimate but it would appear there are 687 picture files local to my server [give or a take]. Picasa on the other hand is serving another 919 graphic files [or not]. Because it appears that currently there are over 900 pic files not showing up on the web site.

So is it a good idea to up-load your files to another server? Well if your doing it to shows friends, sure. But what about if your trying to run a business? I guess I don't have an answer, but I am saving on my bandwidth. It's not saving me any money because my bandwidth limit is much higher than 13GB. What I am saving, or enhancing, is page load-time [I hope]. If the page is downloaded from my server and a pic file is downloaded from Picaca the visitor should see the page render faster. Or what if the files were on my server, what would be the bandwidth then?
Maybe a standard graphic file is 10 to 20K, and there are over 360,000 page views a month [over 380,000 page views this month]. That seems like a lot of down-loading [saved]......

So I see that the graphics are down in blogger as well [this blog]. I guess that makes sense because Google stores the blog graphics in Picasa too. I was going to attach a graphic showing server bandwidth vs page views, so that will have to wait. I'll add a link to this posing as a comment a bit later [SEO Techniques]. And it seems like just a few days ago the web site was off-line for a few hours too.

Oh, SEO stuff; the website link 'Engineering Portal' points to the normal site, I'm just using a different term to describe it ~ for the search engines. To try and insure the words are assigned to my home page , or related to...

Why are my earnings low

I figured it's been more than a week so it's time for a posting. I only wish I had a topic.
But when in doubt post how the page views are doing.

What I find interesting is that page views are up over the last six months, both unique visitors and total visitors. In fact not only are page views higher on a per month basis, but over the last several months they are the highest numbers ever for any month. However the problem is that earnings for the site are stable, flat, or altogether boring..... Sure I've seen revenue increases for a day or a week, but nothing long term. I have not seen a steady increase in earnings which would track with the increase in visits.

Yea I could move ads or change ad formats, which I do. But I'm really always working on new content, and when I do move an ad it's to make the page look better and not to make more money.

The attached graph shows total visitors per month, which accounts for unique visitors and re-counts them if they return. So if a person visits the site they become a unique visitor. If that person returns during the same month that visit gets counted again as another visit [per the graph]. Each time a person visits the site and views a page, that gets counted as a page view. Normally people will view more than one page when they visit. So the number of visitors will be less because that would account for less pages that might be seen. So you visit the site [unique visitor], you come back and your a re-counted visitor, and every page is counted as a page view. Then the chart shows a number higher than unique visits, but lower total page views.

err, I was watching Donnie Darko while typing, so forgive the typo's.

SEO Techniques that work

I must be doing something right, as last month had the highest numbers of both Unique Visitors and Visits [same person with more than one visit].

In addition to adding content and a few dozen new pages over the last few months, I have also been doing Search Engine Optimization [SEO].

As I've indicated in previous posts the SEO techniques primarily include adding 'alt' tags to pic files and 'title' tags to internal links. Many pages already had the html tags, but many pages did not have the enhancement, with some pages only having part of them. I've been making these enhancements over the last six months.

So my advice is to insure that every pic file has an 'alt' tag that describes what the picture is. In many cases a pic file also has a 'title' tag which describes the picture in greater detail. At the same time any page-to-page link also gets a 'title' tag, if it didn't already have one.

Now you could say that the increase in visits is due to content additions, or from adding new pages. However I would disagree, because although I have been adding a lot of new content, the per page content added is small. Or, much of the content added over the last six months is spread out over several hundred pages.

Secondly, the amount of new pages added over that time frame is also small, say around 61 pages in six months. Now you could say that was a great many additions to the site, but I'll try to indicate why it's not.

First off , any new page added last month [and December too] are still in the Google sand box and is irrelevant [Trimmer Resistor; random example]. Also any page added last month may not have even been completely spider-ed. So we'll forget about the 22 most recent page additions. November saw a lot of Component Package additions, pages holding gif files with little or no text ~ another 17 pages. October had a few 'How-To' additions which receive no hits to speak of ~ 8 pages. Same thing with September, just a few BJT Outline drawings which will receive zero visits ~ 4 pages. Now we're back to August, which is about the time frame that should start to matter, but again a few 'How-To' additions ~ 3 pages.

So I would discount 54 of the last 61 new pages as not adding anything to the site yet [really all of them]. I always assume 15 to 30 days before Google spiders a page. Than another 30 days before Google reads the page completely, still another 3 months after that before a page gets a Page Rank [if at all]. I'm not saying these pages aren't getting any page views just that the few dozen page views they are getting wouldn't show up as a change on the graph.

I contend that the increase in visits is due almost entirely from optimizing the pages for the search engines. Really, I've been adding pages to the site for years and I don't see any sustained increase in visits ~ but I do now. Search Engine Optimization has been the biggest change I've been making to the greatest number of pages over the last few months. The last few months are the highest for the site ever, not counting December [always a low month].

Now these 'alt' or 'title' tags also help site visitors, either by showing text if the gif doesn't come in or by providing detail if they hover over a link ~ it's win-win.

Now there is always one more point some would could make about the increase in page visits. That is the Google computer pushed this site up near the top of the search listing while another site moved to the second page. That argument could work for one month, but not for the last four months. As Google re-orders their listing every month. More importantly, we're talking about 1,600 individual pages, Google didn't push all of them to the first page!

Finally my page on Google Sites [Thermal Impedance ~ random page] is bringing in about 60 people/month, 73% of which are new to the site, word of mouth traffic? Googl Knol is bringing in yet another 60 visits per month at 57% new visitors [Component Derating ~ just a random page]. However neither of those referrals would seem to add up to the 10,000 additional visits which occurred last month, but it doesn't hurt either.

Right, we're trying to explain 20,000 new visitors, and the only thing I can say other then it is due to the SEO changes is that some how the few hundred visitors due to page additions or referrals adds into the thousands ~ I don't think so. Add the html TAGs.....

Web Statistics Increasing

I really don't want to keep blogging about the same topic over and over again, but. The web site just received more than 10,000 visits in a single day. Yesterday the interface bus web site received 10,126 visits. That's up from maybe 9,500 visits last week and 8,500 visits last month.
That's the first time the site ever received over 10,000 visits in a single day. So this year should see two to 400,000 more visits than last year, and last year was the highest ever......

As normal, here are a few pages that are not recieving many pageviews and were never listed in the 'What's new blog'. All related to equipment cases.
This would be one of the few times I list a page with up-dating it. Each of these links looked ok, so no updates for now. The topics should be the main reason for low page views, but I do expect many more page views for the Transit case page. How many people would look up Captive screws?
Manufacturers of Transit Cases. Equipment cases used for transport.
Manufacturers of ATCA Chassis. Telcom equipment chassis.
Chassis Card Guide Manufacturers. PWB Card Guides.
Captive Screw Manufacturers. Captive screws for equipment.
Equipment Chassis Specifications. Spec document numbers and titles.

Oh the highest number of page views in Jan 2009 was 8,415 pageviews. Or an increase of 1,700 page views this year over last.

Comparing Visitors

Just a short posting showing visitors for the first week in January for this year and last year. The site has not made it back to 9,500 visits/day yet but I would think that will happen this week. Visits are up several hundred on the week ends and about 1000 on the week days. There are still more Electrical Interfaces going obsolete than being generated [as in yesterdays posting]. So any increase in page visits are good. Over 120 pages have already been up-dated so far this year, including these obsolete interfaces;
STD32 Interface.
SpringBoard Expansion.
STEBus.

Webalizer Stats

It may be over a year now, but I finally pulled up the report by Webalizer today. Webalizer is a server side stats counter that just gathers data about how many times a web page is viewed. It's ok for a counter but I like AWSTATS better. AWSTATS is also a server side counter, but I have both set up and running.

Some of the visit data shown in these posts is from AWSTATS, but most of the graphics are from Google Analytics [which does not reside on the server]. Oh non of the three counters agree, they all differ by a few percentage.

What I wanted to do is post the visits per hour for the web page [from Webalizer]. The site is an 'engineering portal' type site for electrical engineers.
The odd thing I see in the data is that most of the visits occur around 8am, while I would think that most of the visits should occur later in the day when the entire country is awake. Most of the page visits to the website are from the US, so why wouldn't most of the traffic occur after 1pm?

Increasing Page Visits


Yesterday had 8,513 visits or about what October had for page visits. So they are starting to make a come back over the last few weeks. November saw around 9,000/day while December had around 9,500/day [before the holidays]. I'm hoping to get back to normal by next week.

This December was the highest Dec. ever, as high-lighted by the red lines on the chart. Even better, December was higher than many other months last year which is not the norm.

I'm still looking at sections of the site that did not receive a minimum of 365 page views. I'm not sure when these following pages were added, maybe this year. Note that I'm taking the first definition on each page.

SEO Hint; Sometimes you want to link to a page using the same term [resistor Definitions] while other times you may want to link to a page with a relevant but less common term [used here].
Network Resistor Definition. 155 page views
Ohm Definition. 177 page views
Phenolic Molded Resistor. 274 page views
Quick Connect Resistor. 298 page views
Damping Resistor. 334 page views
Semiconductor Resistor. 337 page views
If you continue to use the same term or phrase to link to a page, Google sees the phase as important to that page. However; if you pick different terms than Google sees each of those terms as relevant [but less important] to the page. Ever see a page returned from a Google search that indicates [in the Google frame], the term was only found in links pointing to this page.... I'm still using terms found on the pages.

2009 Web Stats


As reported by Google Analytics interfacebus received 2,245,193 visits with 4,082,072 page views.

Greatest amount of visitors outside the US; India: 154,048 visits.

End of Year up-date


I first posted this chart on the 16th, but I wanted to post it again with the new data. It's one day short of the data for the year, but I don't except to see that many visitors today. The important point is that 2009 brings in the most web visits at around 2,436,499 visits [graph], and 4,077,367 page views.

The what's new blog [new Engineering Pages] has 67 entries which indicate at a minimum 67 new pages were added to the web site this year. But because in many cases more than one page is mentioned there could be as many as 80 new pages this year.

Although most of the time I only make some small formatting change to a web page, it still counts as an update; there have been 366 different pages updated this month, and 464 pages updated in November. The point is that the website [interfacebus] is always being updated.

I'm still troubled by the number of pages only receiving a minimum number of page visits per year. Here are just a few;
Companies making electronic equipment.
Definition of Interference.
Industrial  Board Formats.
MIL-39009 Resistor Derating.
GPIB Connector -55138 CID.

Interest in Personal Computer Buses

I figured I would post a few pages that have seen a reduction in page views from this year to last.

The page covering the USB interface had a reduction of 0.12%, which is nothing.

Now the PCIe page had a reduction of 17.20%, which is not good. The PCI express interface is still the fastest interface on the PC so I'm surprised to see a drop in visits that high. However it looks like much of the drop occurred in the first six months of this year, it started to make a come back after that.

The SATA interface also had a 3.23% drop from last year. Again this is a new interface which should still have some interest, so I would expect more page views.

The older Hard drive interface [IDE] also had a drop of 30.98%. The Parallel IDE interface [PATA] is obsolete so I would expect a drop in page views here, but maybe not that high. There should still be many computer users that run this older bus style. You would thing this would be the time people start looking up data on the bus as they begin to suffer hard drive problems.

Also had a 19.86% reduction in page views for the FireWire Bus. However I think I can under stand this reduction. I think I wrote something about some Apple computers not even shipping with the Firewire interface any longer. I've never even had a Firewire product.

Yet another obsolete PC bus, the RS232 interface also had a 6.48% drop from last year. I don't think I have any RS232 gear any longer, for a few years now. I still see RS232 ports on new PCs, which continues to surprise me.

Last one, for now, the PCI bus showed a 27.86% reduction in page views. I would like to say this interface is obsolete too, but I can't because there are many PC cards produced in the PCI format. Many card functions can't be purchased in the PCIe format. I think the PCI slot will be on motherboards for years to come.

So interest in topics comes and goes over time. Remember that the search engines are always re-ordering their results too. So some of these drops could be due to sliding down lower in the search results. The chart shows around a 20% increase in page-views over the last few months.

Graphic; PageViews [per week] so far this year.
There are 30,442 pages in the list I'm reading off Google Analytics, but there are only around 1,600 pages on the web site. The rest of those pages are search pages or mis-spelled [404] pages. This site does not have 30,000 different web pages. I should have cleaned that up a bit and re-typed that text.

Low page views


With the end of the year just a few days away I figured I would get in one more posting showing pages that received less than 365 pages views, or less than one hit a-day. There are many more than just the three or four I'll post today. I think I'll post pages that received less than 100 page views;

Chassis Panel Meters. 99 page views
Chassis Terms. 88 page views
ESD Terms. 77 page views
Radar Terms. 66 page views
Compliance Testing. 55 page views
OEM Manufactures. 43 page views
iSCSI Protocol. 33 page views
2N6546 Temp Derating. 22 page views
CableCard. 10 page views
And the list could go on, many of the pages [under 10 pageviews] in my list are just mis-spelled web addresses. Of course many new pages also have a low page view. There were about 138 pages that received between 50 and 100 page views. Maybe another 200 pages that received less than 50 hits.
Pageviews so far this year 4,054,604.

Comparing Pageviews


Back in October I blogged about the number of pages receiving some amount of page views. Here's the update compared to that last post.
140,000 to 149,999: 1 page
110,000 to 139,999: 0 page
100,000 to 109,000: 1 page
90,000 to 99,999: 0 pages
80,000 to 89,999: 1 page
70,000 to 79,999: 0 pages
60,000 to 69,999: 1 page
50,000 to 59,999: 0 pages
40,000 to 49,999: 4 pages
30,000 to 39,999: 3 pages
20,000 to 29,999: 14 pages
10,000 to 19,999: 59 pages
1,000 to 9,999: 509 pages
100 to 999: 849 pages
1 to 99: 400 pages [estimate]


I don't see any thing that pops off the page. The increase in pageviews below 100 increased, but that would be due to new page additions. I don't recall adding 50 new pages, but that is the only section that is hard to count [so it's an estimate]. 


Still 350 pages that only received less than 100 hits for a year is a lot; more than 50 will top the 100 mark by the end of the year. Another 50 or so of the new pages should top 100 by next year end, so that still leaves 300 pages that will never see more than 100 page views a year?


Sections that come to mind; [that will never see more than 100 hits]

Index of Manufacturers [this particular page received 49 page views]. Number of effected pages; 30+

FET Derating Curve [this particular page received 46 page views]. Number of effected pages;15+
Interface Buses Index  [this particular page received 46 page views]. Number of effected pages;12
MIL-STD-100  [this particular page received 45 page views]. Number of effected pages;7
Transistor Derating Curves  [this particular page received 31 page views]. Number of effected pages;20+


So that was another 100 or so, maybe another 100 that are single page additions ~ which leaves 100 pages unaccounted for. So no matter what I do some number of pages will never see any hits, but I don't know that when I generate them.
