(174) Statistics

Lately I noticed that a good percentage of my readers have different ways of accessing my blog which left no trace after they exit. It seemed that folks from former communist countries are more likely to be thus security conscious. But the other night I realized two of my real time readers from USA also seemed untraceable. Well, I do respect the individual need of privacy on the net.

A check from two sets of statistics showed me that two articles should have been included as top ten popular titles but did not because of my illusive self-effacing readers:
834 America by Stephen Fry
598 A walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks

There are a further 3 entries that are very close too:
491 Blood Sugar Level
517 A Reluctant Queen by John Wolf
841 Crocodile meat as Medicine

Otherwise what was recorded in 697 still holds true.

(940) An interesting development

Starting from this week, the number of cumulative pages viewed by Russian readers in this blog begin to exceed that of Malaysian readers.

Kenneth is home for his semester break. He searched on line and told me that not very long ago, Russians were passionate readers compared to other countries. Recently, however, the trend has changed. Only the well educated with higher income in the bigger cities still buy books regularly. Of course the availability of internet changes the reading habits of the youth and young working folks. The more mature readers who are IT savvy would definitely read blogs too.

There is a difference between American and Russian readers, the latter delete their foot prints as soon as they exit the blog. I have no idea where they live and what exactly they read. Hence there is an element of mystery to this discreet bunch. However, thank you my Russian readers for you support!

(763) Unexplained Statistics

This blog has been on since May 2009. To the minute we have 5513 page views, out of which, we have over a thousand page views each for both December 2011and January 2012. I am very thankful for the faithful support of Readers from USA, Malaysia, Germany,  Russia, Netherlands, Japan, United Kingdom, Canada, India and France.

What I haven't figured out is that there was one day in December last year when there was a surge of 300+ page views. Later I was more observant, on January 13, there was a record of 403 page views within a 5 hour period. To this minute, there is altogether 581 articles in Ramblingsofadyslexic. From statistics, less than 30 articles registered being read more than 15 times. All I know is that the sudden surge actually happened twice. How, I have absolutely no clue. Possibly from changing the old format to new, I lost my entire data store of detail analysis.

It was interesting that I have been praying and mooting about a Chinese blog. Three days before the first surge I made up my mind to open an account and announced it in a prayer meeting. With Michael's help I did that and posted my first Chinese blog right before January 13. When I saw the second sharp spike, I actually rubbed my eyes and went to wash my face. So far nothing as such happened after the second and third posting. Perhaps it is co-incidence. May be not! So from this point on, I have two blog sites to look after. This English blog is my free and easy site, I write anything that caught my fancy. As for the Chinese site, each blog has been instructed by higher power. Sometimes it came when I prayed for prolonged period in tongues. Others as soon as I hit publish, that very second I knew exactly what I was to write about next.

I know it will be difficult for anyone to accept this. I assure you I don't lie. I am merely good at telling a yarn. This is not one. But I suppose it is easier to share this here than telling it any where else, I don't really want to be labelled as a zealot. I am just a very ordinary person who work hard at using my talents for God.
