While I've never thought that "Climbing with Bob" would be a site folks would flock to read, I find its visitation statistics to be fascinating. Here are a few facts about the site as of August 2010.

How many people visit the site?

The site averages 10,250 page views per month with a peak month of almost 13,200 views. Since its August 2006 rebuild, the site has had over 300,000 page views and visitation has increased by 70% over the past year. Not a lot in comparison to many sites but probably not bad for a "homebuilt" personal site.

What do you look at?

Well over half of the pages on the site are viewed at least one time per day, however the most popular pages are the Home page, the Australia page, and I'm pleased to say . . . the Legal Disclaimer. As an attorney, the attention you pay to the Disclaimer warms my heart . . . or maybe you just like that picture of the bruised arm.

Where are you from?

The map above illustrates the distribution of visits by country; however for the statistically curious, U.S. visits generally account for 72% -74% of the total site visitation; however, once every 3 or 4 months, a new country will pop up, most recently Bhutan, 134 countries to date. From the start of the site, the #2 ranked country is Canada (4.9%), Sweden is #3 (3.1%), #4 is Australia (2.8%), and the United Kingdom closes out the top at #5 (2.5%). However, for the year to date, Russia is #2 (5.2%), followed by #3 Sweden (3.7%), Canada in the 4th spot (3.1%) and Australia rounding out the top 5 (3.0%).
