2007 Statistics for BENBEST.COM

There may have been some growth in visitors to my website in 2007:
1,548,099 unique sessions in 2007 as opposed to 1,491,845
unique sessions in 2006 and 1,252,175 in 2005. Pageviews
were 2,137,172 in 2007 as opposed to 2,197,133 pageviews
in 2006 and 1,668,890 in 2005. According
to the traffic rankings at

ALEXA.COM
on December 31, 2007 the
3-month average world-wide ranking for

BENBEST.COM

was 240,723, which was more than twice as high as

Alcor Life Extension Foundation
(498,520) and about
four times as high as the

Cryonics Institute
(962,108). That is far below

Wikipedia
(rank 8 on the same date), but still pretty
impressive. I actually think that Wikipedia is responsible
for much of the erosion of my popularity growth. To a lesser
extent, the lack of professional looking quality (due to my
handwritten HTML) is another factor cutting into my popularity.
My ranking on the "History of Christmas" search in Google
has dropped from near the top of the first
page to near the bottom of the first page. Nonetheless,
I got a plug on December 21 from WhatReallyHappened.com
that gave my Christmas page 2,398 hits, probably the
most hits any page on my website has ever experienced
in a single day. My highest country ranking by Alexis.com
was in Jamaica, for some reason: 13,911 followed by the
Philippines: 31,344. My rankngs in the United States and
Canada and Germany were 112,124 and 180,113 and 480,891,
respectively.



Below are some tables that summarize comparative
statistics for my website in the last couple of years.
I have just discontinued my use of Superstats in favor
of Urchin as a source of data because Superstats is so
expensive and does not really give me much additional
information other than comparison of past months and
years -- and I have reason to believe the data is suspect.
All of the data may be understated because I have heard
that some ISPs like AOL do caching of websites, so I would
not record many AOL hits (actually I never see AOL as a
source in my statistics).



Here are my comparisons of the PageViews I got in December
2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 for some of my favorite pages (you have
to look WAY DOWN in this silly Blogger):
