1) For example, the program gives
total blog views since inception - I understand that - then for the month and last
the day. When does the day start? That’s my first question. I think it must be
at the International Date Line. Is
it?
2) Is the month total really last
month, i.e. 31 days of August, for example? Or is it
the last 30 days or what?
3) Page views are listed for each
post. What is the time frame for
those numbers? Is it views today or
since the beginning? Or what? Does
it reflect a particular click from a search engine list or a view from within the
blog? It must be clicks from search engines
4) A last question - The statistics
list the page views by country.
These are very amusing. For
a while there I was more popular in Latvia than in the United States. Go Latvia! Anyway what is the time frame that the country page views are
reflecting? It isn’t just today
because the numbers seem different from the total day views. What is it?
Statistics are great, but one
really needs to know more about what is being measured and how. Otherwise they have little
meaning. Remember that when you
read that this or that percentage of people believe this or that. To make sense of it you need more
information - sample size, sampling technique, questions asked. Help me out here and let me know about
the Google blog statistic reports and exactly how they are measuring each
category. Maybe Google has it on a
website somewhere. Do you know? Thanks.
Next blog will be about the damage
caused by light. Stay tuned.
