Site Meter Data Geek

I’m a data geek, I can’t help it! Sitemeter is terrible for me. I go on there two or three times a day and flip through all this weird stuff. (located at the bottom of my blog, click on where it has visitors) I want to know how they found me or what country they live or at least from where they read.

Sitemeter tells you all this stuff like all my readers read in English. Good thing, eh? Nothing like trying to read English when you only read Latvian or vice versa, right Harvey?

They have cool pie charts and graphics. We numbers geeks like those things!

And for those of you non-bloggers, big brother is NOT watching. I have no clue where you live, what State you are from or who you are. I know what timezone you’re located, whether you read me in English, and sometimes I know from where you were referred. For instance, if you came to me from a link over at Harvey’s from my Boobie Post, then it will tell me Bad Example. That is all. Don’t know what color your hair is, how much you make a year, or if you’re married. I know nothing.

This time zone thing… I think it’s really cool. I can click on it and find out where most of my readers reside when reading. Most are CST or EST, which isn’t surprising. CST wins the race typically. Man, I just don’t know many people in the square states. Not many people from there connect to me. PST even beats them. Of course, I have a bro who lives in PST, so that is part of it! I think I got some hits from military people, which is why I got something listed as Bagdad/Moscow time. That is very cool to me. Everyone is always welcome, but military people hold a special place in my heart so if I write anything that makes them laugh or jars a fond memory, that makes me feel worthwhile.

I have a few in the European time zones… my English blog siblings (Sally and Alex) help account for that! I don’t know why, but to think that anyone across a vast ocean would want to read me just feels cool to me.

So what were my top search engine links this week? Boudicca of course! But other than that, Elmo’s underwear is still getting me some hits, Married Whore obviously from my whore neighbor story, and the joke Paint the Ceiling Beige got me a hit. That was my favorite joke in college.

Anyway, I just think the whole thing is fun… seeing how people get to me and from where they originate… as in time zone… not as in address. I swear, I don’t know where you live!
