Half A Million Visitors. Or More?

Since March of 2005, WILLisms.com has accumulated 500,000 visitors, according to Site Meter.

But my server, mediatemple.net, shows different stats, going back to January 18, 2005, when I made my first real post here:

So, yeah, that's obviously a lot more sessions and pageviews and hits than Site Meter is indicating.

Just for reference, some highlights of the top 100 referrals:

~60% of WILLisms.com sessions have had no referral. People have just typed in the address or used a bookmark on their web browser and gone to the site. Roughly 9.5% have come from google image searches. Nearly 3% have come from regular google searches. If you add up all the separate foreign google referrals, it would add up to a few percent or so. Same with the various yahoo searches.

Roughly 1.5% have come from Instapundit. Roughly .75% have come from Michelle Malkin. Neal Boortz is responsible for .32% of WILLisms.com sessions, and Wizbang isn't that far behind, at .26%.

File It Under has contributed .04% of the sessions, just under the .05% both Gateway Pundit and Wunderkraut have contributed, and well behind the .10% Viking Pundit has sent my way.

File It Under is, however, ahead of GOPinion, PoliPundit, Patrick Ruffini, Outside The Beltway, and Little Green Footballs.

Beyond that, we're outside the top 100 referrals.

And speaking of referrals, just a skim of the list of countries indicates that North Korea may very well be the only country on the entire planet not represented. The top countries after the United States:

1. Mexico
2. Canada
3. Malaysia
4. Germany
5. Saudi Arabia
6. Netherlands
7. Italy
8. United Kingdom
9. France
10. Australia

I am not entirely sure how meaningful the country stats are, though. It seems as if only a relatively small number are actually registered.

Oh, and here's some interesting and weird search terms:

Beyond those, it's a lot of combinations of the same. Oprah and Tom Cruise. Kanye and Bush. Etc. But there's also lots of encouraging search terms, like, "why+taxes+are+bad" and "social+security+ponzi" and "reggie+bush+overrated" and so on.

The most requested individual posts (by other computers), beyond the main index and monthly archives, are:

1. June 7, 2005: Carnival Of Classiness.
2. June 9, 2005: Social Security Reform Thursday.
3. June 8, 2005: Make Or Break Moment For John McCain.
4. January 20, 2005: 62,041,268.
5. March 29, 2005: Johnny Cochran Has Passed Away.
6. April 25, 2005: Carnival Of The Capitalists.
7. January 22, 2005: Roe v. Wade Turns 32.
8. March 21, 2005: More On The Babe Theory of Political Movements.
9. June 25, 2005: Rabid Donkeys On The Loose.
10. June 2, 2005: Jacques Chirac, Fin.

Not necessarily my best 10 posts there throughout the top 10, but definitely some good ones in there.

Anyway, yeah, half a million. Up a hundred grand from February 21.
