The blog is one year old today. Hurray!
You really take on a project like this for the archive page. You want to be able to open that sucker up every once in a while and see a huge list of links. I got the idea from Homestuck’s archive of comic pages spanning thousands of entries. There was nothing fancy about it, just a massive wall of blue text flowing downward for miles. My archive doesn’t even necessitate a scroll wheel to traverse, it’s that small. And it isn’t for a lack of publishable content on my part either. I’m writing all kinds of junk all the time, stuff that either gets submitted once or thrown away and never again sees the light of day. I have some work to do this year, that is for sure. I’m pretty busy writing this big stressful thesis on Minecraft at the moment, so I won’t make any concrete promises. I do, however, intend to push some kind of content at least once a month. I suppose a crappy pen sketch counts. We’ll see what I can muster.
Now the fun part… site analytics!
Last month, February 2021, aaaahh.net received 827 visits. Of that number, 443 of them were unique visits. I have no idea how any of that is calculated. On average, the site gets 8.58 hits per visit with 7,130 hits total in February. I don’t know if most of those are bots or if 400+ living humans actually visited my website. A good chunk of those have to be real people, right? I think the software is supposed to sift out robots and worms.
In 2020, the website received 4,981 total visits and 1,723 unique visitors. Over 33,000 hits AKA page views across all of that. The total bandwidth for 2020 reached 694.23 MB. Not even a gigabyte of content consumed! I suspect I am overpaying for hosting.
As one might expect, the view counts really seem to shoot up during months that I actually post content. Total views seems to be on an upward trend, so maybe people are actually bookmarking this thing. Or the bots are finding it valuable.
That is all for now. If I discover any other interesting stats, they will be posted. If you have enjoyed the site and would like to ask a question, feel free to contact me at aaron@aaaahh.net. I don’t have this email on my phone yet, so expect significant delays in response time. If you would be interested in being part of an infrequent email list with notable content updates, please let me know.
Happy holidays!
