The November stat porn for my little blog

Continuing my now regular monthly stat porn figures for anyone who is remotely interested in who reads my little blog, what they read and from where they read it, the monthly summary of my visitor stats according to google analytics is as below for November 2010.

The busiest day on my blog last month was Thursday 11th November and this was down to two stories, one was about the stupidity of a Conservative Councillor who called for the stoning of Yasmin Alibhai-Brown on twitter and the second was the Guardian's Julian Glover giving Liberal Democrats members and voters10 top tips.

16.45% of the visitors were through direct traffic, 44.14% from referring sites and 39.41% via search engines.

After reading across at Stephen's Linlithgow Journal where he mentions (again) about being the nearly blog - please don't encourage him. His blog is bloody awesome, hence why (a) so many of us link to it, (b) so many people visit it and (c) so many people read it and rate it.
