One Year of this Blog - How did it fare in the cyberspace ?

A little over a year ago, when I was learning Web Analytics , I needed some web metrics to analyze. But I did not have a website of my own, so I started writing this blog.
It is now exactly 1 year since I started tracking the performance of this blog through Google Analytics.
Here is how this blog performed over the last year (Mar 1 2009 - Feb 28 2010):
  • This blog had 2386 Unique Visitors (6-7 visitors per day).
  • Visitors came from 72 countries , the Top 6 countries being - India, USA, Canada, UAE, Singapore & Saudi Arabia.
  • Total of 6205 page views , approx. 2 pages per visitor.
  • Top 5 page views were for the following speeches:
    1. Ragging - A Learning Experience (1015 Page views): This was my CC  Project 5 Speech, where I spoke about how I was ragged as a first year engineering student at NITK, Surathkal (then KREC, Surathkal).
    2. The Blog Home Page700 Page views
    3. Cherished Childhood Moments: (348 Page views) This was my Icebreaker Speech from the CC Manual, where I relived my  good old carefree childhood days.
    4. Mobile Phones - Early Days: (314 page views) This was my CC Project 2 speech. At that time I was working for Freescale and our business unit was developing wireless software for mobile phones. So I had enough background to speak on the story of how mobile phones evolved. 
    5. Wisdom, Wisdom Everywhere: (285 page views): This was my CC Project 8 speech. A few days before I gave this speech I had read the book , "Like the Flowing River " by Paulo Coelho. It had several soul-stirring stories and articles, some of them formed the basis of my speech. I have posted my review of this book in "Bookworm Reads", the other blog I write.
 Not bad at all for the first year of blogging. Hope to better this statistics, in this year !
