Site Stats
Today I checked out the statistics on my sites for the first time since moving to GoDaddy ten months ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my Overcoming Necrotizing Fasciitis site had over 1.5 million server requests and 213,000 page hits in less than a year. When the flesh-eating bacteria is in the news, traffic picks up and we average a couple prayer requests a week for someone in the hospital suffering from the disease. Students of all ages contact me for interviews or permission to use the materials on the site for assignments, papers and other class projects at least a couple of times a month.
PietyHill Design had 150,000 page hits, but I wasn’t really able to tell how many unique visitors I had. I host a number of sites on that domain, including this blog, and the top site is The Quotable Christian, with about half as many people visiting the Richard Baxter biography. The Quotable Christian was fun to put together, because it is almost pure CSS. The Baxter site was the final project for my HTML class, so it has a little of everything — frames, tables, CSS, JavaScript, image maps, sliced images, rollovers… you name it.
All the sites I’ve created are now listed in the sidebar. I added some more quotes to The Quotable Christian and I’m in the middle of a redesign of the Necrotizing Fasciitis site. It should load faster, navigate easier, be more readable and much richer in content. I’ll let you know when it’s finished.
