Here is the traffic summary of this blog in July. The numbers give a pretty interesting picture:<\/p>\n

Total number of visits:
\nApache – 2048<\/strong>
\nThis number means there are 2048 pages have been shown to the visitors.<\/p>\n

Google Analytics – 1464 (72% of 2048)<\/strong>
\nThis number means out of 2048 actual visits, Google Analytics can only detect 72% of them, which means some visitors has use tools to block the detection from Google Analytics.<\/p>\n

Google Adsense Impression – 1526 (74.5% of 2048)<\/strong>
\nThis number means out of 2048 actual page loads, only 1526 ads have been displayed. Note that multiple ads can be detected in one single page. <\/p>\n

Number of pages load with Ad – 508 (25% of 2048)<\/strong>
\nThis number means that out of 2048 pages, only 25% of them will contain the ads. In the other words, 75% of the ads were blocked.<\/p>\n

Google Adsense Click – 24 (1.57% of 1526)<\/strong>
\nThis number after showing 1526 ads, 24 of them were clicked by the visitors.<\/p>\n

Conclusions:
\n– The ads that are shown here are not interesting at all. I will blame this to Google because they always display content-irrelevant ads.
\n(By the way, Google is showing an ad related to blood pressure now. Can you see it?)<\/p>\n

– There is a huge market for crashing the ad-blocking tools. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
