How many of your visitors asked Google what a "curve ball" was? I naively assumed that all balls were by nature curved, they are down here ;-) On the screen resolution thing, why not work with a design that uses % rather than pixels, then it will work at almost any screen resolution. Same with fonts, whatever you do do NOT specify them in pixels unless you HAVE to... Thanks for the entertainment. How many of your visitors asked Google what a “curve ball” was?

Wilson Mon, 15 Jan 2007 23:41:31 +0000 http://bluecord.org/biblioblog/2007/01/google-analytics/#comment-9448 The statistic of how many are visiting the blog via RSS is not reported on Google Analytics. But I am told how many people come directly to my site. That means they must either type the address into the browser, access it from a bookmark, or pull it from RSS. Few people are going to type it in directly. More will visit from bookmarks, but most returning visitors are likely to receive via RSS feed. While the number Google Analytics is not entirely made up of RSS visitors, I was treating it as such. The actual percent is probably only slightly lower. To get the Gilligan's Island statistics, you have to subscribe to Google Analytic Premium. It is well worth the price, in my opinion.

I cannot seem to find things such as which ones are viewing the blog via rss (and how many prefer Mary Ann). So Kevin, how are you getting these stats out of Google Analytica?
