The Kitchen in 2009

OK, it’s the time of year when we’re all more focused on holiday stuff than we are blogging. Well, I guess there are a few exceptions, but I’m not one of them. Still, I thought it would be interesting this week to look back at this first year with the new look blog.

According to Google Analytics, there have been 61,110 pageviews so far this year, with 1690 different pages being viewed. They do have more helpful stats, like the fact that those are only 27,345 unique pageviews (some people looked at the same page more than once).

8,929 unique visitors made 16,176 visits. 1,262 of those visits were people coming from Facebook, though I should also count the 635 visits that came via Networked Blogs, an app on Facebook. Over half of those who visited came from a referring site.

The main blogs that sent people my way were Jay Guin’s oneinjesus.info and Rex Butts’ kingdomseeking.wordpress.com. The site religiousaffectionsministries.org sends a number of people to the site, specifically to view the series on alcohol. Same goes for forum.preacherfiles.com, though they send people for a couple of different posts.

The visitors came from 117 different countries, though the U.S. dominated by far. Australia, Canada and the U.K. followed, which seems logical. Within the U.S., Texans dominated the list, with California, Oklahoma, Florida, Colorado, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, New York and Virginia rounding out the top 10.

Those are the boring numbers! Over the next few days I’ll look back at some of the top things that people have been looking at on the site. Meanwhile, go grab some eggnog.
