Now that I'm winding down from new math research I'm focusing more on
side details like measuring the impact of posts on the newsgroups on
things like statistics of hit counts on my math blog, and I thought it
worth sharing some of the information.
For instance, in the past 6 months according to Google Analytics my
math blog has hits from 80 countries, though the bulk of the hits come
from Great Britain, with the city giving the most hits being London.
According to Google Analytics, the hits coming from what I'll call
hostile sources, being the
crank.net website and newsgroups through
groups.google.com are 10.12%% of the total, where
crank.net has 6.02%%
and
groups.google.com has 4.10%% which is invaluable information to me
because it has shown me that hostile posts here have nominal impact in
terms of actually driving people from links on negative sources to my
math blog.
Which is why I'm posting as I think it's a hoot.
Hostile posters who I've seen at times making it a point to link to
negative sites have had a nominal impact based on the evidence I have
available, and thankfully,
crank.net is a non-force in terms of hit
counts.
