Even our biggest two days ever at the end of the month as Canberrans sought out coverage of the storm (and thereby overloaded our server at the peak of demand) wasn’t enough to save us from a pretty ordinary month. Fortunately our advertisers only pay for the eyeballs we reach. It is worth noting that February is 10% shorter than January which explains some (but not all) of the drop:

So here’s the comparison:
Absolute unique visitors: 18,710 down from 20,221
Visits: 57,059 down from 60,680
Pageviews: 180,623 down from 214,863
Very loyal visitors: 11,058 down from 11,155

And now for the fun stuff.

The 25 most popular pages (excluding the eternally triumphant front page):

1. Storm cell zeros in on Canberra
2. 2007 Multicultural Food and Dance Spectacular, impressions and pictures.
3. Raiderettes trials
4. Macing of smackhead at Erindale
5. One way around the water restictions
6. Crash at Griffith Shops
7. Best gym in Canberra?

22. Rape crisis?
23. Where should Maelinar go if he’s a winner?
24. TransACT wireless hotspots?

And on the most visited pages list –
11. State of the Riot – January 2007

Us? Self-absorbed??

I’m curious how some of those search terms actually led to RA. Got to clean up our posts…

bighead – nah no scandal.

At least I’m only 110 and only once on the list.

It seems my stalker has lost interest 🙂

JB are you at all concerned by the number of people googling your name each month?

If people were looking for as much info on me (and my supposed sexual preferences) as they seem to be on you, I’d be… you know… not putting so many photos of my front yard up on RA.

Who’s front yard?

I observe the curiousity with interest but it’s not like I’ve ever kept my identity a secret or done anything I feel the need to hide.

who’s looking for me and chains ??

65. bonfire jew – something we don’t know?
110. vicki dunne – nyssa76 – ohhh…scandal.
136. johnboy, the homosexual riot-act horseman – saw it coming
188. kerces birth
229. “self masturbation ” – slightly worrying
380. gravel rash
453. aliens exist – there is still believers

And it keeps me amused for hours every day!

Evil, I’m just happy that it’s there at all.

Whatever happened on the 26th January though ?

Every month when I read that list I wonder anew at what sort of people must wind up here…

And then you meet them in the comments.

And “front bottom” coming in at 19 is not high enough for my liking!

Every month when I read that list I wonder anew at what sort of people must wind up here…

105. rofl!
65. bonfire jew ?
169. “alys graham” hmm I know her

lol@ Hasdrubahl’s comment re Kerces
though, maybe she would :p

Hooray! I’m loved… twice!

and I could only muster 41. Bugger.

24! Who ARE you people?!

I’m not even on there this month! Where my stalkers at?

…and I bet bonfire looks fetching in a Yarmulke.

barking toad12:56 pm 02 Mar 07

193 – the stalkers are losing interest?

I’m sure Kerces won’t appreciate being sandwiched between 255 & 257…

Do I win a prize?
Probably would have nuked your stats the other day if everyone had been able to get through…

hahaha 136 – before I even read LG’s comment !

Indeed LG – additionally 88 and 125 are curious

My Secrets! Exposed!

Number 136 is a worry.
