Understanding Website Traffic with Clicky Web Analytics 2.0 July 18, 2007

Posted by atharkhan in : Personal, Tech , 1 comment so far

Until recently, I was using “Popularity Contest” to monitor traffic to this site. The plug-in was great because it provided detailed statistics. However, I found “Clicky Web Analytics 2.0” to be a lot more accessible and useful. I can now see what visitors are interested in. I was surprised to find that a majority of visitors are here to find out the name of the music playing in the iPhone Commercial (click here for that post) . I am also noticing an increasing number of international visitors to the NAFSA Handbook. I am guessing that this is because of the upcoming school year. It is really interesting to know what people are here for and how they move about within the site. Very cool!

A geeky, and completely useless JavaScript :-) July 18, 2007

Check it out:

1. Go to Google Images. (http://images.google.com)

2. Search for anything you like.

3. Paste the following code in the addressbar of your browser:

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI= document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i<DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position=’absolute’; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval(’A()’,5 ); void(0)

4. Hit Enter.

5. Feel entertained for about a second, then wonder why you wasted time doing this :-)

A few days ago, I received an email that Schmap (a city guide) was considering one of my photos of Harold’s Chicken Shack for their guide to Chicago. Well, I just found out that Schmap selected and published it.
