Where on earth did the month go?

June seems to have flown past, especially given I was on holiday for a good chunk of it, but that doesn’t mean we can’t look back and see how the site coped.

Visits were generally on a par with May - there were 7,398 visits by 4,152 people, just over 48% of them new, and a total of 27,067 page views.  Looking at the demographics, we give a big “HI THERE” this month to the visitors from Ghana, Luxembourg, Israel, Switzerland, China and Mexico.  On the UK front, still no closer to my home townL, while in that big country across the pond only South Dakota and Alaska failed to look in.

One thing I’ve not looked at in the past has been the languages that people visiting the site use.  My tacking software tells me (if you count American and UK English as separate languages) that there were 56 in total - fascinating...

Anyway, referrals were as always eclectic and varied, with the one that got me thinking “Huh” been from Proteanstrategy.com.  As for the search terms - well, see for yourselves...
