Today I’m introducing a new monthly feature post for this blog. After each month comes to a close I’ll share some statistics about this blog with you. I intend for these posts to be brief but informative for readers and advertisers. Speaking of which, click here if you’d like to purchase a 125 x 125 advertisement on this site.
For the month of June this blog had:
- 329,576 hits
- 98,242 page-views
- 18,556 visits
- 13,707 unique visitors
The above list does not include 51,120 hits and 50,231 page-views from robots, crawlers, worms and other similar traffic sources. In other words, the above list is human only; that’s a lot of eyeballs! Here is the same information in a bar graph:

My highest trafficked day was June 18th with 43,827 page-views spread over 7,570 visits. Yup, that was the day I was listed on fark.com for this post about the similarity between John McCain and Colonel Tigh from Battlestar Galactica.
This blog is also syndicated via RSS to an average of twenty readers, with a high of 76 readers on June 18th. My facebook profile also pulls a short excerpt of each post and broadcasts it via RSS to my 397 friends.
The five most viewed posts on this blog for the month of June were:
- Battlestar Politica - 9308 page-views

- Centralization vs. Decentralization - 655 page-views
- Kevin Garnett a Celtic: We’re Baaaack! - 563 page-views

Finally, the five most used search keyphrases that brought visitors here were:
- pieniazek
- anova test
- photo
- ronald jenkees
- finite population correction factor
If there are any other statistics anyone would like to see let me know and I’ll add them (if possible). Thanks to everyone for making June my best month yet! You all rock!
So I was just scrolling through the search keyphrases that led to this here blog and found a few odd ones. Here’s six of them:
- small dog create
Huh? Was this person asking Google to make them a small dog?
- too much fun but not enough education
There is a fine balance. One which many strive for but few attain.
- sitting
Where they looking for a how to? Definition? History?
- managerial accounting for idiots
How much you wanna bet a Fortune 500 CEO is behind this search?
- i love nate and adam icons for aim
No idea why I’m the first result for this…
- do schools need textbooks
College kid trying to convince his/her professor to drop textbooks? Or a principal trying to cut costs? In my opinion, schools do not need textbooks but do need authoritative resources to learn from, whether they be people or e-books or experiences is up to the school or teacher.
OK, time to go Google “Large pile of cash create”.
It’s with great pride and honor that adampieniazek.com brings you its first ever contest. It’s been nearly six months since this blog’s first post and to celebrate I’ll be giving away a free copy of Ronald Jenkees’ self-titled debut album.

Through the months, all of this blog’s crucial statistics have improved (on pace to blow out my high mark for unique visitors tonight), except one: comments!
So, in an attempt to increase those numbers, this contest will be very simple; simply comment on this post and you’ll entered for a chance at Ronald’s awesome CD! For those who don’t want to wait a week, you can order Ronald’s debut album directly from his blog.
At the end of the contest, all comments will be reviewed and all valid comments (not spam) will be tossed into a pool and randomly chosen. You can comment on anything you want, but I’m interested in how you first heard about Ronald Jenkees and what do you think of his music?
This contest will end next Monday at midnight. Make sure you leave an e-mail address when commenting so I can get in contact with the winner. Good luck!
I just went and checked the grades section on my SPIRE account on the University of Massachusetts at Amherst web-site and my official grades for the Spring 2007 semester are posted.

A 4.0 GPA for the Spring ‘07 semester! I got an A in both courses, Fundamentals of Marketing and Quantitative Tools for Management (aka Statistics II) during this semester. Pretty awesome, eh?
This is in addition to the A I earned for the Principles of Management class during the Winter ‘07 semester:

So that’s three classes down, twelve more to go. Hopefully I can keep this up…
