Here is What with 32,000 Unique Visitors!

First, the news. Yes, I am back in the hospital and yes, it's because my lungs are bleeding again. We're dealing with it. Gripes: I was supposed to spend much of the weekend with famed author and hometown homie Kathleen Rooney. I did get to see her reading at Brookline Booksmithe, but then it was ruined as I walked to dinner and had to duck into my car to cough blood into a plastic bag. Quelle Horreurre! (fr sp?)

But, now in the big house.

I have been quite lax on updating the StatCounter stats for you folks. So here goes!
This image is less than ideal, but, to the right is 2010, and the left is 2009. So, overall, I have about 32,00o Unique IP Addresses tuning in. Only about half of them, 15,000, return regularly. Still, that's pretty great odds. The blog isn't for everyone!

I have between 200 and 300 readers each day:

Day	Date	Page Loads	Unique Visitors	First Time Visitors	Returning Visitors
Sunday	May 23rd 2010	273	200	137	63
Saturday	May 22nd 2010	357	185	95	90
Friday	May 21st 2010	453	212	89	123
Thursday	May 20th 2010	451	214	94	120
Wednesday	May 19th 2010	524	232	100	132
Tuesday	May 18th 2010	492	249	96	153
Monday	May 17th 2010	388	266	139	127

The high for daily readers is 400, but I hope to write a really great post and get a 500 Unique Readers Day soon! This amounts to about 1500 Unique Readers per week, and an ever-growing number of Unique Readers per month:

Month	Page Loads	Unique Visitors	First Time Visitors	Returning Visitors
May 2010	8,126	4,559	2,124	2,435
Apr 2010	10,341	5,859	2,811	3,048
Mar 2010	7,722	4,547	2,287	2,260
Feb 2010	5,520	2,859	1,351	1,508
Jan 2010	6,672	3,298	1,710	1,588

These are the most important keyword searches other than "cystic gal" that led readers to my blog. Oddly, Florence Nightingale Syndrome is still a big draw to the CG. Also, apparently, are people looking for Journey lyrics because of my addiction to naming post titles after 70s songs. I enjoy that this list also has the phrase "faux boyfriends." I did not realize how often I must type that phrase that it led readers to the blog.
