Data Explained
|
|
Page Requests
|
The total number of requests for web pages (aspx files in particular). Note: RSS
requests are not included in this number.
|
|
Sessions
|
The number of unique sessions. A session is created when a browser firsts connects
to a site. A single session can contain any number of requests.
|
|
RSS Requests
|
The total number of requests for all RSS feeds. RSS is an XML-based feed for syndicating
site content. Note: this is not the total number of subscribers, only the total
number of times the RSS feed was pinged.
|
|
Activity
|
Activity is an aggregate of the total number of blog posts plus the total number
of trackbacks and comments. This number is multiplied by 200 so it scales with the
other numbers on the graph. This is used for trend analysis; in particular, inferring
if blog activity influences traffic.

How the Data is Collected
|
The data is collected via a .NET HTTP Module; the cool part is the scrubbing:
first, no hits to images or other files are included, and do not factor into the
number of sessions.
Second, all user agents are scrubbed and bots are removed from the data collection.
This ensures a substantially less inflated view of sessions and requests, often
accounting for a huge number of false sessions and page requests.
Third, all of my IPs and related data is scrubbed; since I'm my biggest visitor,
it's important that I don't contribute to my own stats.
Finally, all bogus referrer, comment spammers, and other "noise" is scrubbed. The
result is an extremely clean dataset.
