(I'll do a Top Ten ever if folks want it, but this gets skewed because being in the top 10 for 2007 results in even more hits, so it becomes circular.)</I><BR/><BR/>Perhaps an interesting exercise would be to record the number of hits that you receive in a year. Call this number <B>num_hits(year)</B>.<BR/><BR/>Record the top ten posts of that year with their number of hits. Call this <B>nhits(year_post)</B>.<BR/><BR/>Divide <B>nhits(year_post)</B> by <B>num_hits(year)</B>.<BR/><BR/>Example: Say in 2008 you had 200,000 hits to Shrink Rap. (I've made up this number) <B>num_hits(2008)=200,000</B><BR/>Your number #2 post (Street Value of Psychiatric Medications) received 1886 pageviews. Therefore <B>nhits(2008_streetvalue...)=1886</B> (This number is from your post).<BR/><BR/>Divide <B>1886/200,000 =<BR/>0.00943 = 0.943 %</B><BR/><BR/>i.e. almost 1% of the hits to this blog in 2008 were due to that one post (in the case of my fictitious figure being accurate).<BR/><BR/>This is interesting in its own right, but also allows you to keep track of popular posts year-to-year. <BR/>Say next year your most popular post had 2000 hits, but you had 300,000 hits to your blog overall, this post is therefore less popular (relative to your audience). Top-ten lists converted to percentges in this way probably represent the least-amount-of-statistics way of year-to-year comparison.<BR/><BR/>You can also easily quantify how much traffic is due to your most popular posts (i.e. if 99% of visitors are interested in sex with fish, then you've done your job and can go home now...)<BR/><BR/>Norm.

Something like "Oh, my friend's shrink recommended (he/she/they) do this, but this other (psychiatrist/psychologist/counselor) said that's (misdiagnosis/silly/unethical/pseudo-science)."<BR/><BR/>My question is..do you encounter these kind of sentiments often? <BR/><BR/>And secondly, with the tinges of anti-psychiatry, and mistrust of the profession/field/science in our society, do you worry about poor shrinks/counselors/psychologists?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-88205666919518055092009-01-05T23:33:00.000-05:002009-01-05T23:33:00.000-05:00I'm so please Sex With Fish made the cut.I'm so please Sex With Fish made the cut.Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227988351623862689noreply@blogger.com
