The number of visitors is starting to grow on this blog. One of the counters has reached 500. Another counter has reached 51, and they once went parallel. So the numbers can't always be trusted...

ClustrMap on 6-10-2007
The first results are measured and shown here. When the listing is active longer the ball will get larger in the places where more visitors come from (or return).
Keywords - StatCounter: List
StatCounter gives you a list of keywords people looked for and then found your site. Here you can see how people came to this actual Statistical Data site. It shows the interest of you visitors.
Keywords - StatCounter
How can the Recent Keyword Activity help me?
This a great way to see up to the second how the latest visitors to your website are using the search engines to find your website, and then magnify them to see how they used your website.
Why does the same search term appear again and again with the same ip address?
This is how your visitors are using your website! They are clicking onto your website from a search engine result, then a little later they are doing it again and sometimes again and again. We track exactly what your visitors are doing don't be suprised by some of their very strange behaviour. Learn from it!
Choosing the Best Keywords
Effective search engine optimization depends on choosing the best keywords and I recommend using a combination of the Google Keyword Analysis and Overture Keyword Selector Tool.

Statcounter - Results per day on 3-10-2007
StatCounter has a nice tool to personalize the graphics you need. I have choosen a recent periode here and it shows the piek in the hits (a few days ago) quite nicely. If you need to show someone the results of a special posting of PR-campaing on your website, this is a great tool. If e.g. someone would write about this blog and would link to this site that would show up in such a gragh immediately. With the other tools installed you could find out the references of these extra hits and you could trace where the extra visistors come from. That is in fact how I discover if and how someone has written about this blog.If something like I mentioned above happens, I will write you a report on how I use the installed startistical programs to find out the details. With the right tools one can find out quite interesting details about a site.
Motigo - Overview Continents 3-10-2007
On the map that Motigo shows thare are obvious hisr from abroad. The ClustrMap has a delay of one day, so eventually there will show up some more red dots on the small map.
Believing Counters
On this blog I have two counters running. Both went allong quite bicely, but the last days there is a difference of 16 between the two. It meena one of them had a failure in counting. That porooves that a counter doesn't register all that you would like it too.

Explenation Clustrmap
This chart is given by Clustrmap to explain what you can see on the image. To get this image you have to click on the small image in the sidebar. An administrator can log in and get all the details. It will get interesting when this site gets a lot of foreign visitors....
Clustrmaps
On the site http://clustrmaps.com/ you can get a nice gadget that can be implemented on your site. It is a worldmap that shws you where your visitors come from. In the beginning it will be empty, but after a while (and with foreign visitors) the image will build up. I have placed it on top of the sidebar on this blog for this moment. You can now see immediately what countries the visitors come from.
Other statistical programms have this option too. But Clustrmap shows the image straight away on the site for all to see.

Search Queries - 1 October 2007
This is also an interesting feature in eXTReMe Tracker: You can see which queries were asked through search-engines. That explains how people are finding this Statistical Data Blog. Only the last 20 quesries are saved, so that isn't that helpfull for the search of why visitors come to your site.eXTReMe Tracker - Countries on 1-10-2007
eXTReMe Tracker gives this overview of unique visitors to this blog. Seems like visitors come from very different countries indeed. This is a very clear presentation.Sunday, September 30, 2007
Sitemeter - Results Worldmap 30-9-2007
This is one of the better worldmaps that I have seen. Sitemeter produces them and this sample is of this actual site. Yes, more foeign visitos come in. Seems the texts als attract visitors. Statistical data is always interesting as it seems.
Note the dots and their meaning.
Technorati Blog Info update 30-9-2007
The many postings and links on this blog must have helped. The Authority just went up to 2, and now indicates how this blog is seen by the Technorati programm. We will see how it increases further as the blog grows and the interlinking gets more scuccesfull.
Motigo - Overview Countries 30-9-2007
On the Motigo counter I can see where the visitors of the last daya came from. Seems like the Yahoo group is visited mainly by USA-inhabitants from East to West. One could zoom in on this map and find out where their computer lives....
Statcounter - Results per day on 30-9-2007
The statistical data that is registered at StatCounter is growing. I have asked people on a Yahoo Group om mail-art (seee: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iuoma/) to start visiting this blog and that has caused some hits yeterday. That is clearly visible here.

Poll
On 29-9-2007 I have addded this poll besides this blog. This way I will get some information about how visitors think about the statistical programms.
Technorati Blog Info update 29-9-2007
A new list of the authority as generated by the Technorati website. Some more improvements. It is interesting to find out how this works.
New Blog
On a new blog: http://countingnumbers.blogspot.com/ I am only placing numbers. I have added a statistical programm too. I want to see how it starts to attracht visitors. The number of postings will be an indication. I will make no special links to this posting, so a special test indeed.
Statcounter - Information
On the site www.statcounter.com they give lots of information about the meaning of special information they generate. An example with some keywords:
Returning Visitors - Based purely on a cookie, if this person is returning to your website for another visit an hour or more later
First Time Visitors - Based purely on a cookie, if this person has no cookie then this is considered their first time at your website.
Unique Visitor - Based purely on a cookie, this is the total of the returning visitors and first time visitors - all your visitors.
Page Load - The number of times your page has been visited.
What can the Summary Stats tell me?
There are two dimensions to the stats for a 'Standard StatCounter project'. There are the 'Summary Stats', and the 'Detailed Log Analysis'. The 'Summary Stats' provide a lifetime daily count of the totals of visitors to your website each day. And allows you to run reports since the day you started the project! After a few months of tracking, it is absolutely superb to look back and to see the daily, weekly and monthly trends of your visitors. Does your website have a weekday rush and a weekend slump? Did your traffic take a surge leading up to a holiday season? Is your website in general growing or stagnating? It is a wonderful tool to quickly assess the current success of your website.
How do the Summary Stats work?
The 'Summary Stats' determines whether a visitor has been to your website before by using a cookie. So if a user has cookies disabled we have no way of knowing if they are unique or not, and will by default be considered unique. However the majority of visitors have cookies enabled.
To make up for relying on cookies in the summary stats, the rest of the stats are based on your detailed log analysis of the last xxx number of pageloads. The uniqueness in this case is based on your visitors' IP addresses. This method works very well for the majority, but yet again there is an exception. AOL users, and visitors who use what is known as a 'dynamic web proxy' that changes each time they access a webpage. So if a single AOL user visits 7 webpages on your website it will likely come up as 7 different IP addresses!
Both cookies and IP addresses have their strengths and weaknesses for determining the uniqueness of a visitor. It is impossible to be 100% accurate the entire time, but with the Standard StatCounter Project you get the best of both worlds. Cookies for the 'Summary Stats' and IP addresses for the 'Detailed Log Analysis'!
The Advanced StatCounter Project combines the best of both worlds to use an almost fool-proof system (the only problem is AOL visitors who have cookies disabled! Not many!) but it is very server intensive, and won't be possible to provide as a free service until the cost of hardware and dedicated servers come down in price.

StatCounter gives a clear overview of the hits over the week. The programm only runs a few weeks now but he results are visible nicely....
Number - Definition
A number is an abstract idea used in counting and measuring. A symbol which represents a number is called a numeral, but in common usage the word number is used for both the idea and the symbol. In addition to their use in counting and measuring, numerals are often used for labels (telephone numbers), for ordering (serial numbers), and for codes (ISBNs). In mathematics, the definition of number has been extended over the years to include such numbers as zero, negative numbers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, and complex numbers.
Certain procedures which input one or more numbers and output a number are called numerical operations. Unary operations input a single number and output a single number. For example, the successor operation adds one to an integer: the successor of 4 is 5. More common are binary operations which input two numbers and output a single number. Examples of binary operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation. The study of numerical operations is called arithmetic.
The branch of mathematics that studies abstract number systems such as groups, rings and fields is called abstract algebra.
