It is just about the end of the month, and a quick perusal of my web stats show some interesting points. Mostly I’ve inspected the referral stings, entry pages, exit pages, and search strings. This information comes from a pre-installed copy of Webalizer provided by my web host.

• It looks like Manga Inc‘s reference to me as the primary mirror for School Rumble is still in use. When the first three chapters of Volume 4 were released in English, there was a noticable spike in daily traffic as the loyal fanbase scrambled to get their copies.
• The anime release of Tenjo Tenge has prompted an increase in its relevance for search strings leading to this site. Searches for “Tenjo Tenge” and its variants jumped up by a factor of ten or so. This probably had a synergistic effect with the realease of Tenjo Tenge Volume 11 in japan. However, the bulk of the searches were for “Tenjo Tenge Anime,” which is in a way disappointing. The manga is top-shelt, whereas the cartoon is merely good.
• The content I’m hosting for Anime-Fanservice.org continues to show its popularity, with no signs of slowing down. Unfortunately, it’ll probably be the first thing to go if I run into bandwidth quota problems or run low on diskspace.
• Google is still kicking the pants off of Yahoo as sources of traffic. As a user of Google, and as somebody that appreciates how they do things, I say “good.”
• The bulk of hits were created by clients that don’t return a REFERRER environment variable. As I seriously doubt that hundreds of people have this page bookmarked in their browsers, I find this to be a bit rude.
• People still apparently think they can find hentai content here. I laugh at your hentai habits and call them a silly thing.
• As any web guru would tell you to expect, Internet Explorer 6 variants were the overwhelming majority of user clients for this site. I still recommend Mozilla Firefox for everyone. It’s the bees knees.
• Saudi Arabians continue to make up an extremely small minority of visitors. Good for you. I wonder if this had anything to do with a link I put up a while back to Al Jazeera.
