June 2018 Blog Statistics

The year is already half over, meaning this is the sixth blog statistics report with six more to go this year. I’m looking forward to December’s end-of-year report when I can graph these values, although I suppose six values are enough to graph.

A few meta status comments regarding this blog:

I revamped the tags section: instead of having a separate page for each tag, I have one page with a list of tags, and a list of what posts are under that tag

I also added a referral link page just for the fun of it - all referral links on that page are just redirects to the actual link

Finally, although I haven’t done it yet, I’ll be removing the StumbleUpon share/stumble social media button. StumbleUpon is closing down at the end of the month. It’s being effectively replaced by Mix. I do have a Mix profile and might add a Mix share button to replace the StumbleUpon button.

I was able to publish four blog posts in the past month:

• 4th of July Independence Day Themed Table Topics
• Will Making Twice-Monthly Half Mortgage Payments Save Money?
• 2004 Honda Civic Cabin Air Filter Replacement
• May 2018 Book Reading List

Onto the numbers:

Alexa

• Total Sites Linking In → 148

Google Analytics

Google Analytics Graph for June

AdSense

• Estimated earnings → $1.26
• Impressions → 863
• Clicks → 1

Ratios

• Earnings / 1,000 sessions = $1.26 / 1.251 = $1.01
• Earnings / 1,000 pageviews = $1.26 / 1.636 = $0.77
• Earnings / 1,000 impressions = $1.26 / 0.863 = $1.46
• Earnings / day = $1.26 / 31 = $0.04
• Sessions / day = 1,251 / 31 = 40.4
• Pageviews / day = 1,636 / 31= 52.8
• Impressions / day = 863 / 31 = 27.8

I’ve done better with earnings - which is probably the most important number! But my Alexa has slipped back over 1 million since April when it was under a million.

I think I’m doing fine - probably better than if I didn’t do these blog reports and keep track.
