June traffic was 10% down on May, which was by far and away the best month for traffic on the blog since I started it. However, year on year, absolute uniques were up 32% to 64,396.

Iain, next time you do this can you also publish a list of the most amusing phrases people type into google to get to your webpage? That's always good for a laugh.
ReplyDeleteJune Statporn?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't she present that show on MTV?
yawn..........
ReplyDeleteErm... am I missing something or are the top two messed up?
ReplyDeleteOr is it just that those coming from Conservative Home are a better sort of reader than those from Guido?
1. +1 ConservativeHome 19,702 (28,696)
ReplyDelete2. -1 Guido Fawkes 28,999 (28,999)
Does not compute.
How do you manage to make ConservativeHome first when you have more hits via Guido?
ReplyDeleteSorry - I mistyped Guido's figure. Now corrected.
ReplyDeleteIain, you would have much more traffic if you could find the time to update the comments more frequently.
ReplyDeleteGuido's traffic has shot up since he switched off comment moderation a few weeks ago. Yours would if you were to do the same, though I realise that it is a bit of a chore deleting 'unsuitable' comments.
iain, why not outsource OK-ing your comments? say, to an indian or chinese student? i'm not kidding. read 4-hour working week!

I do not care for the obscene picture that pops up on my screen every time my curser strays over your total politics heading.
