It’s been a while since I’ve done a ‘month in review’ post, but since I’ve missed out on a lot of months to review, I thought I’d start again. So, onto the actual post.
Site View Count:

Articulated Sky has had a bit of a sporadic view count over the last month. Ranging between a high (although not an all-time high) of 161 views and a low of 27. That said, I had an average view count of 40-50 per day. I didn’t think was much of an improvement on last month, but it seems that I was wrong as this month saw me achieve the second highest view count out of the 11 months this blog has been active with the highest being December 2007.
Patch Day:

As expected, the big Empyrean Age release gave me quite a large increase in page views for a good few days, increasing my pageview to 161 views the first day, then decreasing by about 30-40 on average for a couple days until it got back to my average.
While it always means that I can’t play EVE, I love extended downtimes as it means that people will be searching for EVE Online blogs to satisfy their EVE addictions.
Rest of the month:

Later on in the month, I had three medium to large spikes in amount of views but I can’t seem to spot what caused these. It’s possible that during these days there was a small un-scheduled downtime and people were trying to find out why, but I’m unsure.
Now onto my general statistics.

I think we all got some traffic increase during Patch Day – that’s typical.
As for the spikes after the 16, well that’s the day I made the post about the EVE Blog Pack, so without giving myself all the credit, there’s a good chance it could be a result of that post.

Ah yeah, I hadn’t thought about that. I’ve noticed, I’ve been getting slightly more views after a few of the EVE Blog Pack members have posted the list, so I may return the favour.

Cool stats. I got a spike on Empyrean patch day too. Better than my stats overall, heh heh
