To provide you with these statistics I use the figures published by Blogger. Some of these figures are published in two different places. Take for instance the page views for each post. They are shown in a top 10 list and also against each individual post. They should be the same but they aren't. There is a possibility to indicate whether you want to include or exclude the page views you cause yourself. I always exclude those so that cannot be the reason. In any case, I publish what Blogger tells me...
As you can see in the stats below, my depart from Sepia Saturday and other circumstances caused a dramatic blog production drop. But I hope you will agree with me that apart from blogging there are also other things in life worth pursuing. With this profound remark I invite my dear readers, to have a look at the figures and see what y'all accomplished in 2013. Thank you very much for visiting my blog!

In the category First time visits per country it is worth mentioning that this year we passed the 10,000 visitors mark for The Netherlands as well as the 3,000 mark for the USA. From the start in 2008 Blogger recorded a total of 94,000 page views.
I wish you a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2014!
Last year I showed you a home made video of the New Year firework here in Castricum, The Netherlands. This year I'll display one of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen. It is made by the Hubble Space Telescope and shows the spiral galaxy Messier 106. Speaking of firework ...

ReplyDeleteDank je, Marleen. Eensgelijks!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Peter! That was an interesting collection of Stats. Maybe I'll take a look at mine now.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too Peter. I do miss reading your posts, as you always brought interesting topics and photos as well as humor to your posts. This was very interesting too, as I often wonder at times, who are all these folks that pop in, but yet you don't know who and they leave no comment. I just can't imagine stopping by, reading and not saying at least hello, and thanks!

ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your stats. Always nice to compare with a blogger with a similar interest.
@Karen
Your compliments make me blush! As far as making comments is concerned I think it is also a cultural thing. 98% of all comments I receive are made by English speakers. For one reason or another Dutch and others seem to be scared to do this. Why? Beats me.
@both ladies
Thanks for dropping in and a very Happy New Year to you too! Keep on blogging!
Reading all the SS posts takes a lot of time indeed...
ReplyDeleteThat is one magnificent galaxy!
