March was a good month for the Riot with our first paid advertisers taking advantage of a strong performance to reach a lot of Canberran eyeballs. Here’s the comparison from February:

Absolute unique visitors: 20,221, up from 18,710.
Visits: 61,686, up from 57,059
Pageviews: 176,945, down from 180,623
Very loyal visitors: 11,430, up from 11,058

Everything pointing north except the pageviews which in February had an abnormal bump from the supercell thunderstorm.

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. The Barbies of Canberra
3. Watch where you leave your car.
4. Macing of smackhead at Erindale
5. Limestone Liz
6. RiotACT goes viral
7. Fireys quit
8. Fight in Civic
9. Search page
10. Police bling
11. YouTube of YouTube as teeny drinking meets the mainstream
12. Chief Minister goes mental
13. Storm wash up — Canberra Centre
14. Revolve given the arse for Aussie Junk
15. What’s Tracie doing and should she stop it?
16. Stanhope weeps
17. Belco Maccas closed by AFP
18. Skyfire 2007
19. Canberra Schools and changing lightbulbs
20. Spread the rate card to save Kerces from Oak Flats
21. Hostage Negotiators attend troubled “Parkview” Development
22. Seedier Side of the City
23. Dirty tricks from Barr’s office
24. DPP appeals rape verdict
25. War Memorial open day air show

And finally the top 500 search terms which brought visitors to the site, a special “well done” to RandomGit who appears to have far too much time on his hands:

Good to see Llama’s are the 47th most popular search item! Once they appear you can’t get rid of them.

Absent Diane3:41 pm 03 Apr 07

well given that zooey is rather saucey.. it is hardly a suprise

It’s clearly a Freudian slip … Bonfire was thinking of Zooey Deschanel, but when he typed his thoughts it ended up as a white sauce.

RiotACT BBQ ! (with bonfire sauce)

Absent Diane12:57 pm 03 Apr 07

oh I assume beachedcamel must be some sauce I am ignorant of then.

Bonfire was just being saucy.

Absent Diane10:28 am 03 Apr 07

bonfire I think it is deschanel.

at least zooey bechamel naked has gone.

I can’t believe ‘front-bottom’ has made it on here *again*. WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE!?

113? Oh, so NOW all my stalkers come out..

hahaha..54….

Please allow me to assure you, I didn’t do that.

I may vaguely remember doing it the once, but it would have been only the one. I can’t even remember doing it at all.

Rank 54 eh? Good to see good news travels fast all the same.

Can’t help but note that JB has dodged the “Kerces birth” insinuation, which will only serve to give it legs…

we can only hope, you need to start spreading the word…

regularbrowse7:54 am 03 Apr 07

Do these web figures mean you can attract more advertisers and hire Kerces. I miss her stories. Especially the birth announcements list with funny expert comment.

Is cave clan some gay collective ?

Im getting more and less popular… I used to have 2 stalkers, but now I only have one. But the one I do have is researching my internet wanderings enough to make the top 50.

lol @ #54

Not for the first time, I believe, is my name closely allied with crazychester (86/87).

meconium: given what your name really means, my guess is that they were looking for ways to get stains out of nappies. I also notice that the first RA hit on Google for this search term includes the word “Labor”, so possibly they really are just folks with babies who can’t spell proper.

first time to my knowledge, I thought it was RG having his fun.

261. 24 hour coles canberra

Hehe. My search :D… I wanted food at 2am…and well…I couldnt be stuffed to drive to manuka.

Interesting….401. scouts + bi-polar

JB, is there a month where this doesn’t come up? 419. johnboy, the homosexual riot-act horseman

Okay, I didn’t get in there, yet again. Obviously I just don’t attract any stalkers.

Even stranger, someone I know is in the top twenty, and I’m sure she’s never been mentioned here…

That was JB’s admission that he finds the staff there disturbingly sexy.
Which reminds me to wander over and check it out…

I hope the searcher for “dymocks sexy staff” found what he or she was looking for.

#136 kerces birth
Is that why Kerces *really* went away??
Sounds like what used to happen to schoolgirls who got preggers…

a) It’s general internet searches that brought people to our pages.

b) the monthly map only picks up locations that have sent in a big chunk of traffic, you might need to click more.

And how come I’m not showing up on the map?

Is this people searching on Riot Act, or clicking in from a google search, because I’m a lttle worried by almost making the top ten.

Surely #13 at least deserves to be above me!

#126 – people still don’t know how the intertron works, guess.

Finally I feel like a member of the community. First time I’ve made it into this list, and above two mentions of Al Grassby and one of the Charny Carny to boot.

And I didn’t have to spam the site’s search function with declarations like randomgit’s, either…

Woohoo I’m not there!!!!

It must mean my stalker’s run away 🙂
