August blog round-up

September 1, 2009 Neil Leave a comment Go to comments

Up, down, and level – that sums up August 2009 in my blogging world.

UP – English/ESL

According to Sitemeter there were 9,417 visitors reading 14,586 pages in August. Last month it was 6,962/10,812. Not the best ever though. That was last year’s HSC month with 12,075/15,236. I wonder what this year’s HSC will do! I should add – to my shame – that there were no new posts on English/ESL in August, but quite a few comments.

WordPress stats, on the other hand, say August was the best month ever with 14,887 views compared with October 2008’s 14,857.

Sitemeter shows the initial excitement after I joined City Daily Photo has waned. In July there were 679 visits and 841 page views, but in August 340/478. Some good comments though.

The Floating Life blogs finished on 8,992 visits reading 11,430 pages according to Sitemeter. In July that was 8,939/11,505.
