Helper-Monkeys Stats of 2012: Annual Adonis49 blog in review

If you care to peruse the annual report in its entirety https://adonis49.wordpress.com/2012/annual-report/

This blog was viewed about 91,000 times in 2012 and (an average of 280 hits per day, and 190,000 hits in total since Sept. 16, 2008).

Apparently, the concert hall at the Barclay’s Center can fit the 19,000 people who came to see Jay-Z perform, and it would take about 5 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

I would have preferred a comparison with the stadium of the Univ. of Oklahoma at Norman: It would have a better viewing comparison in my mind, since I have no idea where this Barclay’s Center is located and how it looks from the inside…

In 2012, there were 715 new posts (50 more than in 2011), and growing the total archive of this blog to 3,250 posts.

I have yet to tag the articles that I posted in the first two years: I am slow in catching up with the best techniques to “attract readers.

There were 16 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 3 MB. That’s about a picture per month.

(Mind you that my blog is about words and not pictures, so far)

The busiest day of the year was November 28th with 1,081 views. The most popular post that day was “Help enough people to get what they want…” Zig Ziglar.

I translate what I read in French and Arabic into English, and I appreciate links to well-developed articles.

The USA has the lion share of about 30%, followed by the English-speaking countries such as Canada, England, India… Lebanon is picking up of about a dozen a day (I was surprised of 100 hits two weeks ago)

This month, the USA registered 3,000 hits, India 650, England 550, and Lebanon 300 hits….

The blog is read my almost every recognized State, except a few such as China.

I noticed in the last 2 weeks that a third of my visitors read several of my posts every day.

The dedicated subcribers increased 10 folds this year.
