This will be my last batch of stats, I prosime (I think). :-) But I have so many numbers from yesterday, that it's hard to stop making things out of them. There were 70 pages of site name where requests came from, around 1,400 sites. Seems like everybody in the world checked in. For those who are interested, here's the Top 30 accesses of my Web pages. There were a couple ties, at 11 and 30 (that's why you see those numbers twice). 88888888888 .d88888b. 888888b. .d8888b. .d8888b. 888 d88P" "Y88b 888 Y8b d88P Y88b d88P Y88b 888 888 888 888ood88P <888X 888 888 888 888o o888 888 888o o888 888o o888 888 "Y88888P" 888 "Y8888P" "Y8888P" __________________________________________________________ % of Total % of Total Rank Web Page Requests Bytes Sent __________________________________________________________ 1 My Home Page 13.39 6.56 2 The Spider's Web 9.53 6.16 3 Hot Links Sorted 6.75 3.16 4 Scarecrow's WWW Link 2.93 1.17 5 Cool Places 2.42 5.08 6 Imagebases 1.86 1.99 7 ASCII Art Archives 1.44 0.71 8 Menubar (text based) 1.45 0.48 9 Hot Links Unsorted 1.36 16.30 10 What's New 1.19 0.46 11 World Wide Web 1.03 0.29 11 Hot Lists 1.03 1.68 13 Goodies 0.97 3.48 14 Home Pages 0.85 1.00 15 Quick Look 0.76 0.42 16 The Spider Speaks 0.52 0.42 17 ASCII Art Goodies 0.51 0.14 18 ASCII FAQ Web Version 0.42 5.97 19 Newsgroups 0.39 12.82 20 InterNet Stuff 0.38 0.70 21 References 0.37 0.65 22 Menubar Cool Places 0.36 0.11 23 Menubar What New 0.35 0.10 24 Web Stuff 0.30 0.37 25 Menubar Hot Lists 0.29 0.10 26 How-To write HTML 0.28 0.05 27 Menubar Goodies 0.26 0.08 28 Searchers 0.24 0.11 29 ASCII art sites 0.23 0.08 30 E-Text 0.21 0.21 30 Universities 0.21 0.13 __________________________________________________________ It's obviously no surprise that the main page is #1.

I thought that the ASCII art sites should've been higher on the list. I was surprised at the drop from 3 to 4 in the % of total requests. -- EMAIL, FINGER, REQUESTS: bob...@wwa.com HOME PAGE: http://gagme.wwa.com/~boba/ FINGER ASCII ART FAQ: asc...@wwa.com ASCII ART FTP: ftp.wwa.com/pub/Scarecrow ASCII ART GOPHER: gopher.wwa.com (item 3) NET GROUPS: rec.arts.ascii, alt.fan.scarecrow
There was such a tremendous response to being the Cool Site of the Day
on November 11th (last Friday), that it seemed only logical (Mr Spock
told me to do it) to create the Spider's Pick of the Day.
The Spider's Pick of the Day may be a site, a sub-page of a site, a
file, or darn near anything (you know that crazy spider). You can access
it from the Spider's Web main page, or: http://gagme.wwa.com/~boba/pick.html
Here's the anchor:
<a href=http://gagme.wwa.com/~boba/pick.html>- Spider's Pick of the Day -</a>
Thanks to Glenn Davis for the inspiration. Enjoy!
