Over the past couple of months, I&#8217;ve learned that this site gets 1000+ visitors each month (not necessarily unique) plus about 5000 visits from spiders (!).  On April 22, there were 474 visitors in a single day.  Slow world news day, perhaps?<\/p>\n<p>Who are these visitors, and what do they come to see?<\/p>\n<p>In aggregate, visitors to this site use:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Operating system:<\/b> Windows XP dominates the list, at about 50% of visits.  It is followed by Mac OS X (17%), Windows Vista (15%), and Debian (9%).  I&#8217;ve also had 3 visits from a BlackBerry, 1 from WebTV, and 1 from something called <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Symbian_OS\">Symbian<\/a>.\n<li><b>Browser:<\/b> Firefox 3 handily tops the list (36%), followed by IE 6 (20%) and IE 7 (19%).

Interestingly, although referrals from google dominate all other search engines, I see many more spider visits from yahoo.  Could it be that google has a more efficient spidering strategy, requiring fewer visits?  Or yahoo is more fond of my site?  We may never know.  I also learned about search engines I&#8217;d never heard of, including Moreover, Naver (South Korea), Searchme (a &#8220;visual search engine&#8221; that just <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/sanjose\/stories\/2009\/07\/20\/daily107.html?jst=b_ln_hl\">went offline today<\/a> due to lack of venture capital), and Radian6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>StatPress is a WordPress plugin that tracks site visitors and which pages they visit.
