I posted a few weeks back about my one-year blogiversary. Since then, August 2005 has been the best ricoblog month ever, by far. I just checked out the ol' sitemeter and grabbed this screen capture detailing traffic by visits and page-views, per month for the past year:

In August, according to sitemeter's calculations, there were over 3800 "visitors". These aren't 3800 unique IP addresses, but 3800 unique visits (where a visit consists of one or more pages consecutively viewed by the same IP). There were just over 7000 page views, or actual pages served. This does not include aggregators, which I don't really have a good way of accounting for. I have ideas, but nothing solid enough to broadcast.

I'm continually amazed when I look at the stats. Thanks for stopping by my outpost, thanks for coming back, and thanks for searching for "balsamic vinaigrette" (and, sadly, "broken toe pics").

Ok, navel-gazing is over.

Update (2005-09-01): OK, not quite over. I've decided to open up the Site Meter stats. You can go to the page from here, or use the icon thingie in the sidebar. The Recent Visitors "By World Map" is pretty cool, check it out.
