I'm curious to see what kind of web-traffic boost that I get from the PBS show. Other TV/radio shows have generally been a small bump -- they don't compare to the huge traffic that I get from something like a Slashdot or Wired article. Google is still the search-engine-of-choice. However, hits from Wikipedia are also a steady presence -- they seem to come in more or less equally from multiple pages, but are only about 5% of my traffic. The majority comes from StumbleUpon, with my "Famous Unsolved Codes" page being the main draw. That's about 25% of traffic, followed by about 20% from search engines, a few percent from miscellaneous articles here and there (like Kim Zetter's "Wired" article sends me a steady stream of traffic). Also, not reflected in those numbers, are those visitors who aren't "referred" to my site, but just come in directly. Anyway, here's the current summary: VISITS Total 1,036,534 Average Per Day 412 Average Visit Length 3:52 Last Hour 25 Today 187 This Week 2,887 PAGE VIEWS Total 2,326,425 Average Per Day 809 Average Per Visit 2.0 Last Hour 49 Today 343 This Week 5,661 Referring domains 1,070 stumbleupon.com 26.8% 735 google.com 18.4% 226 en.wikipedia.org 5.7% 131 wired.com 3.3% 109 search.yahoo.com 2.7% 97 google.co.uk 2.4% 71 dailygalaxy.com 1.8% 50 images.google.com 1.3% 46 google.ca 1.2% 39 elonka.com 1.0% 38 google.co.in 1.0% 35 google.com.au 0.9% 19 npr.org 0.5% 18 google.de 0.5% 13 google.com.br 0.3% 12 search.live.com 0.3% 10 artdc.org 0.3% 10 google.com.ph 0.3% 10 google.fr 0.3% Referring webpages: 1,021 http://www.stumbleupon.com/ref...lonka.com%2FUnsolvedCodes.html 25.5% 76 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptos 1.9% 70 http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_...g/2007/07/angley-va----th.html 1.8% 69 http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/2005/01/66334 1.7% 37 http://www.wired.com/culture/l...ws/2005/01/66334?currentPage=3 0.9% 34 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beale_ciphers 0.9% 34 http://www.stumbleupon.com/ref....elonka.com/UnsolvedCodes.html 0.9% 23 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography 0.6% 18 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5356012 0.5% 15 http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=kryptos 0.4% 12 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famous_ciphertexts 0.3% 12 http://www.google.com/search?q...n-US:official&client=firefox-a 0.3% 10 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27Agapeyeff_cipher 0.3% 10 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithy_code 0.3% 9 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Sanborn 0.2% 9 http://search...
