Checkin' The Stats – August 2007

Wow, I totally spaced doing my monthly stats post. I don't know if it was the unrelenting heat this past week or the fact that I just plain forgot, but here it is…

Let's take a look at the stats for August.

The top 10 referring blogs (other than Technorati, StumbleUpon, and BlogExplosion) for August were:

The Soda Stand
Musing Minds
Sugar Ray Dodge
ISPN Media
Right Wing News
Flopping Aces
Tinseltown Trash
Electric VenomCharlotte Wyatt
Blogs For Fred Thompson

The top 10 search terms that brought people here in August were:

hope for miners (may they rest in peace)
hamachi service (highly recommended)
warren savage (anchor turned junkie)
merv griffin (may he rest in peace)

free passwords (haha gotcha again!)
john couey sentencing (may he rot in hell)
mary winkler (she's been released you know)

The top three search engines sending traffic my way were Google, Yahoo! and MSN.

The busiest day of the week was Thursday. The busiest time of day was 10:00pm EDT, and the busiest day of the month was the 16th.

Internet Explorer usage rose from 58% to 60.7%. The record low is still 52% set in August of 2006. I still recommend Firefox over Internet Explorer.

The top ten countries (after .com, .net, and .edu domains) for July were:
