This is my entry in the third and final installment of the Blog Statistics Project
Tibor over at photonovice.net has announced the final chapter of his project. So far he has asked What are the search terms used to reach your website? and What are your most popular articles? The last question is Where are you from?
So it’s back to Google Analytics for the answer – I have to say this has been a most useful tool for all three stages of the project.
Let me know in the comments where you are from and how you found Lilahpops :: Plunging into Photography – it will be interesting to compare this with the stats I’m about to list below.
Around the world
Here is the Map Overlay from Google Analytics showing my visitors for the last 12 months – yes, Lilahpops is now one year old. The darker the green the more visitors are from that country.
I was impressed to see that visits have come from 92 countries!

To break it down further I’ve listed the Top 5 countries and the percentage of traffic coming from each one:
- United States – 51.4%
- Australia – 14.2%
- United Kingdom – 8.9%
- Canada – 5.7%
- Germany – 1.8%
According to the stats 83.44% of total visitors are new to the site and the average length of each visit is 2min 34sec which isn’t too bad considering the ’surfing’ nature of the web.
How do you get here?
The pie chart below shows that most visitors have reached Lilahpops via referral sites and searches.

We can break it down a bit further:
- Google/Search – 41.8%
- Stumbleupon – 27%
- Direct – 10%
- Photography Voter – 3.3%
- Flickr – 2.5%
RSS subscribers are slowly growing too. This may be because it also includes my Flickr photos.
Do you fit the bill?
Does this sound like you? Are you from the United States or Australia? Did you do a Google search or or stumble across a post? Or perhaps you are a subscriber?
Let me know – I’d love to see if the stats translate into real life!

Hi, I found you through Flickr (my account – a memory forever). You have so much good and interesing information here. Now I think I need to grab myself a cup of tea and do some reading.
Thanks, Liss! I love your Great Ocean Road series of photos. They brought back some lovely memories from a holiday there many years ago.
