I very nearly forgot to post the September site statistics, but not even forgetfulness, laziness and general indifference can stop the pointless review of meaningless statistics here at Hartnett HQ. Probably the only thing of even middling interest is the appearance of Google’s Chrome browser, which was introduced at the beginning of the month and accounted for 3 percent of visits. Overall, visits were up 94 percent over the same period last year, uniques up 110 percent, page views up 59 percent, average page views down 18 percent, time on site down 44 percent. On to the stats from Google Anlytics and Feedburner. Lifetime counts start Feb. 23, 2007.
