BLOG REPORT #3

Welcome to the 3rd Blog Report of my daily J G STEVENSON series.

I drastically changed the line-up for my daily blogs during this period and provided more personal insights into my world and how I see things through these rather parochial eyes of mine.

The results were incredible, somehow there seems to be a big interest in my dull little escapades and the stats have gone through the roof. 

The increase overall in terms of views of my blogs is a whopping 34%

So how is my audience shaping up these days? Well it's pretty much unchanged except for a few interesting trends but here is a recap of my previous views since making the change to the current format 18 weeks ago.

Before I changed the format here was the top 10 audiences.

 %

81.4 Australia

12.9 USA          

 1.9  UK              

 1.0  Ireland             

 1.0  South Korea    

 0.8  Germany          

 0.4  Malaysia          

 0.2  Qatar                

 0.2  Sweden           

 0.2  Canada

After 6 weeks of the new format this became....

73.0 Australia       

14.7 USA                  

 5.3  Germany         

 2.5  Russia              

 1.5  UK                    

 1.1  South Korea    

 0.5  Ireland              

 0.5  Romania          

 0.3  Malaysia           

 0.3  France 

Then after 12 weeks, the figures became the following...

65.6 Australia 

20.4 USA

 5.0  Germany

 4.1  Russia

 2.1  UK 

 1.2  South Korea

 0.5  France

 0.4  Ireland

 0.3  Romania

 0.2  Canada

So after changing the daily topics of this new format the figures have now become...

63.7 AUSTRALIA

22.3 USA

 4.8  RUSSIA

 3.9  GERMANY

 2.2  UK

 1.0  South Korea

 0.7  Ukraine

 0.5  France

 0.5  Japan

 0.4  Ireland

The local audience is still dropping in favour of an international audience which is slowly becoming much broader yet the USA market is still increasing to almost a quarter of my overall audience.

In the last 18 weeks over 35 countries have figured in the weekly Top 10 figures as well.

So what are the most popular pages now? Well here's the list.

22.3 FRI    - JGS HABITAT

14.4 SUN  - WAAPA YEARBOOK

13.8 WED - GRIPE NIGHT

13.6 THU  - COMICAL CORNER

13.1 TUE  - SYDNEY INSIGHTS

12.0 SAT   - BOOK UPDATE

 9.9  MON  - NRL REVIEW

I'm thrilled with these results and will continue to keep these topics into the next 6 week series. 

I have been quite erratic with the postings of late, thank you for still following the blogs as they are posted and I can now say it is all up to date.

I hope you enjoy the next 6 weeks of adventures which will certainly see a lot of changes and stories in the J G S HABITAT series and greater updates with the BOOK REPORT. The NRL REVIEW still has another couple of series to go and the Bulldogs look like they will head into the finals series. I will also be commencing the publishing of some interviews for the WAAPA YEARBOOK. There's still heaps of funnies to share for the COMICAL CORNER, more secrets of SYDNEY INSIGHTS to share and I will always have something to bitch about for the GRIPE NIGHTS.

Lots to look forward to.

Till then
