I'm Viral

I collect statistics on visitors to SchneeWorld.com. I know, for example, that I average 236 requests for pages per day, I've served 4000 distinct hosts and that I serve up about 10 MB of data each day. At this rate, I'm not taking over the world. Which is too bad, really. I'd make an excellent benign dictator.

I also get to see who links to me. So, for example, if Cool Site of the Day said "Hey, go check out SchneeWorld.com", I'd see that Cool Site of the Day referred many people to SchneeWorld. SchneeWorld consists of two main sections - this Blog, and the Farktography Statistics Manager. The FSM gets about 65% of the hits, but these words pull in their share. Most (in not all) of the referrers come to see the FSM. Here's a list (# = number of referrers):

• 2131http://www.farktography.net/index.php
  

Most of my hits come from my sister site.

• 661http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl

Many hits come from Fark.com, which is nice, but since I'm listed each week during a Farktography contest, expected.

Lord knows how that happened.

Apparently, enough people search for stuff and come to SchneeWorld.

These are the fun ones. Steve Collis ('swampa2' on Fark, and a Farktographer) is an Aussie with a Blog. I have no idea what 'ottosuch' is, nor 'saufark'. Peachy92 has a Flickr stream and links back to the FSM. The 'tetongravity' link really threw me - someone was asking for photographic examples and someone else pointed back to the FSM. That's cool. That's viral.
