A site stat checkup

I used to check on my site’s statistics every week. It has been over three years since I peeked at them all so let’s see what changed in the three years…

Here is where things were in July of 2008:

1. 1,680 posts
2. Comments – the new WordPress UI doesn’t make this easy to find!
3. Technorati Authority: 32 Rank: 222,916
4. Google Page Rank: 3
5. Alexa: 386,664
6. Page Strength: 4
7. Feedburner subscribers: 17
8. BlogTopSites: 86
9. RealRank: 575

And today…

1. 2,852 (1,172 new posts)
2. 4,040 comments
3. Technorati Authority: 96 (down 64) Rank: 51,481 (Improved 171,485)
4. Google Page Rank: 4 (up 1)
5. Alexa: 866,671 (down 480,007)
6. Page Strength: No longer free
7. Feedburner subscribers: 51 (up 34)
8. BlogTopSites: Not listed
9. RealRank: Defunct

It’s a mixed return. Google rank up one is good. My Technorati authority went down but my rank went up. Alexa dropped considerably but feed readers went up quite a bit. So without trying to I have improved in some core areas – ranking and followers and dropped in some of the measures of authority. I’m happy.
