Hey, guys! Whew, January went by fast. I can’t believe it’s February already! … but can you believe it? I’m already pining away for summer. That’s not supposed to happen until at least March! 😉 I was definitely happy with January’s “WordPress statistics.” I haven’t really looked at them in a while (mostly because they sometimes disappoint me, and I don’t like comparing numbers to numbers. Pssh, so what if I only have some 15 subscribers? That just means my awesome blog is still undiscovered…) but I thought it would be neat to share some of them with you.
The two days For the Bookish got the most views was January 23rd and 26th, when I posted “Why I Write” (the second ‘Friday Ramblings’) on the 23rd and my first recipe post for “Chocolate Cereal Cupcakes” on the 26th. I’m pretty happy about that, since I was very excited to publish both posts. However, the post with the most views in January was “My Top Three Favorite Styles.” (!!!)
The top referrer to my blog (meaning, the place which directs most visitors to my blog), is search engines! 102 clicks from Google, 9 from Google Images, and 1 from Ask. What are these visitors searching for, you might be wondering? Much to my bewilderment, the top search was “wendy mass theme of leap day.” (?) I’m curious as to how my blog popped up for this search, since I’ve never posted a book review by Wendy Mass, nor have I read Leap Day. I picked it up from the library once, but never read it, so maybe it was featured in a Stacking the Shelves…? The second search was “gifts for the bookish,” which I would assume links back to Audrey’s (from The Measure of a Book), wonderful guest post back in December.
What can you look forward to this month? Two guest posts from some awesome bloggers, Valentine’s day themed posts, more book reviews, and possibly more recipes. (You seemed to like those, right?) Stick around for more, okay? And leave a comment below! What are you looking forward to this month?
xx, Emily
Oh, yay! More recipes! Looking at search engine searches that led to your blog is the best, and often very funny. Surprisingly, most of mine from this month have actually made sense.
You like them? Good! 🙂 Haha, they really are!
I can’t wait for some guest posts and valentines themed posts. Also book reviews. I love lookingb at food so I’m sure I’ll like the recepies too.
I can’t wait for those posts, either, lol. I love looking at food, too… except when I’m hungry. Then it’s just too much torture. 😉
Awesome more guest posts! I’m looking forward to that! I wouldn’t recommended leap day by Wendy mass. From the reviews I’ve read, it’s not a clean book. The main character focuses on adult topics. (If you catch my drift) Anyway, I haven’t personally read it but all the reviews I’ve read mention it so, just a warning. 🙂
Great! Yeah, I know… I read the first chapter. And then returned it to the library. Lol.
Ha, those search engines are hilarious. I really wish blogger had that capability, because it’d be really interesting to see how people come across your blog. 😀
Ooh, guest posts are always fun, too. I have been really wanting to get myself into those, but am not quite sure how… xP I’ll make it happen someday.
The search engines really are, though! It’s funny to think, though, that bloggers might be laughing at MY searches that lead me to their blog. 😉
Oh, guest posts are super easy to fun to do. Sometimes you can exchange posts with bloggers for more traffic to your blog, or if you can’t post one day, you can ask someone to guest post. I don’t know who made them up, but I’m glad they did! 🙂
Ooh! I found a way to see blogger’s search results.
… I don’t have any exciting ones. :p
Exchanging guest posts… That’s a great idea. I should seriously do that!
Haha. Keep checking it. It’s really funny. 😀
You really should! It’s super cool.
Hilarious! 😆 I wish Weebly had stats like that! I hope you post some reviews this month…I’m running low on books… 😉
Haha! I’ll definitely be posting some more reviews, don’t worry. 😉
I didn’t like the first chapter of Leap Day either (so I didn’t get it). I do love many of her books.
Same here. 🙂
Oh, I love this! It sounds like you had a great month, Emily. 🙂 The weirdest search results have led people to Bookish Serendipity, I’m glad I’m not alone! I LOVE guest posts. They’re so much fun to do, and to exchange. I remember liking Audrey’s post too! Here’s to an even better February!
Keep up the positive attitude about your blog stats – the followers will come as you continue with your amazing site! 🙂 February has been off to a good start for me, and I hope your month is going well too. {On the subject of Leap Day, I hope it didn’t scare you away from Wendy Mass’ other books; many of them are well-written and entertaining!}
