While Alex usually does our "Fun with Google Analytics" posts, I thought I'd put up some of the interesting little tidbits you find out from looking at Bilerico's backend information from Aug 27 - Sept 26. There is so much data collected by the software that there's always something fascinating in the statistics when I go in and poke around. I'll try to highlight info that Alex doesn't usually post.

For example, while we know what states are usually in our top ten, what about cities? What does that map look like? The top US Cities/Metro areas sending us traffic last month were: (Clickety all graphics to embiggen)USCitiesMap.jpg

  1. New York City*
  2. San Francisco**
  3. Indianapolis
  4. Washington DC
  5. Chicago
  6. West Hollywood
  7. Seattle
  8. Baltimore
  9. Eugene
  10. Denver


* Manhattan and Brooklyn combined
** San Francisco and Mountain View combined

But some of the strangest ones I noticed?
#822 - do gay guys use condoms? (Isn't that a question we've all asked too?)
#1,627 - "shit on his dick" raped me (Yuck. I don't know what they were looking for, but I doubt our post was it.)
#3,383 - free ipod animal sex (Okay, what!?)
#7,795 - the art of war in non military situations (I'd like to know what post this one went to! I could learn something!)

So what are the top ten posts on Bilerico Project of all time? These are the pages that have had the most views since we re-launched nationally over a year ago. They're an odd mix of pop culture and sex versus politics.
