Blog Statistics

This is pretty interesting...the stats of our blog.  We are getting about 150 hits everyday and nearly
2,500 every month.  The page breaks it down to show how people access the blog.  The number one source is my colleagues who access it through the GCSAA website.  #2 is through the HCC website.  This is good because it shows many members are in fact reading it.  Third is by Google and search
the subject.  Finally the last avenue is entering the blog URL itself and going directly there.  All time views is rapidly approaching 100,000!  Pretty neat stuff!
Below, it even tells the page views by country and the operating system and browser usage.  It is amazing how technology can be tracked. It obviously won't let you see specifically who views the blog.  I read an article recently where someone predicted we are a few years from employers being able to use an applicant's Google search history in hiring decisions because that information will be available to anyone.  That is scary in so many ways.  It will be similar to doing a background check.
