stats party, everyone’s invited
Monday, February 25th, 2008I am planning to organize a stats party. Everyone can come and bring their web stats and share them. We can look at the graphs, tables, colorful spreadsheets and such. It will probably be a dress up party. I will be “the host” because I am the host. We will see how many unique visitors there will be and how many views each visitor will have, like when they are being checked out. It will be interesting to see how long the visitors will stay so let’s note that. I am sure that we will have a few visitors from other countries. Welcome! Then we can analyze everyone’s path to the party house (located at IP address in the invitation) and examine how and where they came from. Some will probably directly come to the party and some will have to search around to find the place. We can go over those search terms to learn which queries and phrases were most popular. “Stats party” should garner good results. Search engine and not only search engine efficiency is a hot topic, I mean with all of the environmental speak and all of that … I am sure that the party resolutions of each guest will make a difference in the overall statistical picture. In order to make it all more organized, I will send out daily, weekly and monthly stats notices for the party, before and after, in several languages. If you refer someone to my stats party I will refer someone to your future party. I might post some text ads on telephone poles around my address. If you come to the party after seeing this text ad let me know … and then … we can then automate the results gathering, write a nice script to export data to attractively formatted ASCII, compile into a nice report and post it on a social news network or something. It’s gonna be great !!!! CU There
