It also keeps track of operating system and browser (more than half of the pageveiws are from firefox.)<br /><br />It does not connect that information in any way. So I can't, for example, see what page was most often viewed by people from Australia.<br /><br />It also does not, so far as I can tell, have any way of telling how many people are involved. I can tell how many pages have been viewed by people in the US, but I cannot tell how many people in the US have viewed pages. So I have no idea how many people are actually reading.<br /><br />What broke down was the thing that told me which posts were being viewed. So I could see from the non-broken things that I was getting a lot of views, and where they were coming from both in terms of what website sent them here and what part of the world they were in, but I had no info whatsoever on what they were actually looking at. I was hoping that it was still collecting the information and just failing to show it, but now that the problem has been fixed I know that the info was never gathered.<br /><br />So, that's the stat counting system I have. It came with the blog, I've considered getting an outside one but I know nothing of such things.chris the cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872875475212333027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-75633559671190990802011-10-31T22:41:53.368-04:002011-10-31T22:41:53.368-04:00Does your blog traffic count views from Google Rea...Does your blog traffic count views from Google Reader? Well, I guess when the Blogger thing is working.<br /><br />I'm mostly a lurker, and I like the drabbles and short stories I've seen you leave at the Slacktiverse and Ana's deconstruction posts, so when I paid enough attention to realize you are copying them to a blog, I started following you with Reader (after the link to the depression post, of course). But I'm not sure if that is something you can tell. Anyway, you got a lot of traffic to that post because it's a fantastic one, but at least some of us are now reading the other bits, too. :)kerihttp://keristars.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.com
