Online Library Statistics: What Gets Viewed Most?
Sometimes I just don't feel I can say what I want to say. Usually that's when you get a video. Back in my MySpace blogging days, you'd get a goofy quiz or some list of oddities. Today I'll opt for lists.
One thing I like about blogging with GoDaddy's QuickBlogcast is it gives the blogger/webmaster access to all sorts of detailed statistics. For example, here's a list of the ten most viewed items in the Crisis Chronicles Online Library during the past seven days:
1. Silent Answer (by Christina M. Brooks)
2. Heaven is so far of the Mind (by Emily Dickinson)
3. The Red Wheelbarrow (by William Carlos Williams)
4. Small Miracles (by John Dorsey)
5. Cleveland: The Rectal Eye Visions [#3] (by d.a. levy)
6. Gods (by Walt Whitman)
7. Macho Sex (by Cheryl A. Townsend)
8. I Sing The Blues For You Today (by Joy Leftow)
9. The Muse Lottery (by John Dorsey)
10. Bhagavad-Gita (Chapter 5)
Here are the ten most viewed in the past 30 days (27 November thru 27 December):
1. Keyed Up (by Mister Eeee)
2. Macho Sex (by Cheryl A. Townsend)
3. 4'33" (by John Cage)
4. Hot Date (by Dorothy Porter)
5. The Muse Lottery (by John Dorsey)
6. Songs of Innocence (by William Blake)
7. A Word Is Dead (by Emily Dickinson)
8. Love Song (by William Carlos Williams)
9. Silent Answer (by Christina M. Brooks)
10. Remember (by Christina Rossetti)
Here are the ten most viewed entries since 19 August, when GoDaddy started using their fancy new statistics tool:
1. Sensation (by Arthur Rimbaud)
2. Hymen (by H.D.)
3. Macho Sex (by Cheryl A. Townsend)
4. Sarcophagi (by Kevin Eberhardt)
5. to jim lowells goldfish (by d.a. levy)
6. The Ash Tree (by Philip Metres)
7. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (by T.S. Eliot)
8. Neon (by Michael Salinger)
9. Cleveland Undercovers (by d.a. levy)
10. Every Truth Has Its Neuter (by Kathy Ireland Smith)
The new statistics tool does not include views before 19 August. So here are the top twelve most viewed entries of all time (since I created the blog-based Online Library on 18 June 2008), according to the old statistics tool (which is still available to me, though GoDaddy seems to suggest it is less reliable):
1. Hymen (by H.D.)
2. Macho Sex (by Cheryl A. Townsend)
3. Sensation (by Arthur Rimbaud)
4. A White Heron (by Sarah Orne Jewett)
5. Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Preface and Canto I (by Lord Byron)
6. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (by T.S. Eliot)
7. Songs of Innocence (by William Blake)
8. Song of Myself (by Walt Whitman)
9. Le Bâteau Ivre [The Drunken Boat] (by Arthur Rimbaud)
10. Prayer (by H.D.)
11. The Ash Tree (by Philip Metres)
12. Muse (by Dianne Borsenik)
Click any title to go to that entry. A lot of great work appears on these lists - but a lot of great work does not. At some point, I'll post a list of what I believe are the most undeservedly overlooked pieces in the Crisis Chronicles Online Library. It may be controversial.

I do love stats... in a way. But am not good at remembering them.. maybe that's why I said men seem so fascinated by them... they're more right brained so remember things like that better.
Anyway.. so how many hits a day do you get? And which gets more... the Library of your Blog Page?
And which blogs get the most hits??? This has been mostly on the Library... but you also post poets on your blog page and personal blogs... So it would be interesting.. since you've taken off in this direction of stats to see what's most popular...
See I am interested in stats after all...Ha!

Generally the blog gets twice as many hits as the online library. But that varies widely. For one thing the blog has been in existence longer and has always had more subscribers. It still has eight times as many e-mail subscribers as the Library, though if I count feed subscribers and Facebook "blog networks" subscribers, the numbers are much closer.
Yesterday, my blog was viewed 362 times and the Online Library was viewed 218 times. But that was a Saturday, and Saturdays are always my lowest traffic days. Plus I didn't post a blog till 2:32 p.m. (also hadn't posted a new blog the day before) - and I hadn't added anything new to the library til 5:40 p.m. If there had been a new blog Friday, or if I had posted Saturday's entries earlier in the day, I would have gotten a lot more views.
My most viewed Online Library entry ("Hymen" by H.D.) has been hit 1,637 times.
My most viewed blog ever has been hit 11,471 times. (Since I've done the Online Library stats in this blog, I'll do the Crisis Blog stats in another, if folks are interested).

I would curious to know the blog stats. And to know what blog got the +11K hits. That's f-ing incredible!
WOW! That really is something. I am really very impressed with your numbers.
Way to go!
But can understand the sentiment about not feeling able to always express yourself fully. I suppose we all practice self-censorship... only some of us call it denial

Thanks, Pinky! You'll have to stay tuned for a future blog to find out what was number 1.
Gotta give people a reason to look... mwahaha!

On Sunday 29 December, my blog got 421 and the library got 342.
Not bad considering I posted no new blog on Sunday - and waited til almost 10 p.m. to add something to the Online Library.
This is a great way to get out of writing an actual blog

In spite of all the additions to the library you seem to comment more these days on Facebook. I'm getting really bored with My Space and all of these internet friendly profiles that have turned into nothing but internet chat rooms. Kudos to you for the library. At least there is some substance here.
