Google Analytics

I must confess, I set up Google Analytics a few weeks ago (or whenever it was required), and I forgot about it. It took me a few minutes to find it through Gmail, but reading it was interesting.

So far, the bulk of visitors have been using Firefox, with 31 visits (70%). Next up is IE, with 12 visits (27%). Finally, we have one lone visit via Safari (2%). Glad to know I'm not the only one in the class with a Mac :)

Not surprisingly, 30 visits have been via a cable internet connection. 7 have been on DSL, 3 have been using T1, and 2 on dialup (really?). There were 2 visits from an "unknown" connection. GA didn't give any further information on the unknown connection.

I also learned about the network locations from whence these visitors came. The bulk were on Comcast, which is what I use at home - I think I'm unintentionally driving up my own stats.

Some of the information seemed a little random, like the screen resolution of my visitors (68% had 1024x768), all of my visitors have been from NJ (good to know, no out-of-state stalkers), and 6 visits have been via Bloglines. I can see how that information would be valuable to a more serious blogger, but it really doesn't serve me a purpose.
