• Season 1 Stats and Stuff

    by
    I have received a few emails asking for stats and stuff for the site.  So here is a stat post!

    Above is the all time blogger stats.  It resets the slope every month, so May looks like a massive drop, but it's just building it.  You can at least see the increase from when the blog started (January) to now.

    On the side you will see pageviews.  When I took this, it was ~2:00 PM.  The Blogger daily stats roll over at 5:00pm.  I am not sure if it will break yesterday in 3 hours, but it might!

    Now blogger isn't 100% accurate, and I figured this out pretty late.  I added Google Analytics some time around the middle of February for a more in depth analysis, meaning it's missing about half a month of data.  You can find all of that After the Page Break
     
    So technically we already broke 5,000,000 on just straight up pageviews, but the ticker on the side uses blogger so we will stick with that for benchmarks. 

    The most important stat is Absolute Unique.  That's a lot of bronies! Though it doesn't factor in the rotating IP's, and the 37% of them that ran for the hills when they saw Ponies in Lingerie and Cupcakes! 

    And finally, absolute unique IP's daily.
    There was a huge spike when VGcats posted the blog, but it seems to have evened out now.  Actual pageviews have increased pretty substantially, but I guess the new crowd is just digging through the archive or something.

    Anyway hopefully that answers all your questions! I'm pretty sure this will be the peak of it until season 2. It was a good run though! I'm not going to make this a regular thing, just a one time deal.

      If you told me 4 months ago that i'd be eagerly browsing a My Little Pony news site everyday then I would have laughed you out of the building.

      Much <3 for my bronies

      If you told me 4 months ago that I would be watching MLP I would probably search it out ahead of time.

      It was a spike from VGcats. Not everyone stuck around.

      Season 2 will bring New fans. With how much content is being pumped out of the fanbase I think there will be a lull in activity but once October hits look out Loretta. Pony Train will be going faster.

      Thanks for the stats, Seth! This helps us get a better grasp on how big the fandom really is and how fast it has been growing. Hopefully we will be able to increase our momentum when the second season starts and get even more people into the fandom.

      Thanks for stats, Seth

      The summer may actually maintain the community, I believe. I just hope Hasbro doesn't @#$# everything up.

      So the huge drop was caused by lingerie ponies, AKA creepy furry shit.

      And then some cockdevourers come in claiming furries do no harm?

      Let me laugh even louder.

      That was a joke, lingerie ponies actually spiked the population back when they came out ;p

      The VG cats people probably just didn't see anything interesting, aside from the bronies.

      I wonder why scott took down the comic - was there again some kind of drama ? I didn't know dailyblink did also a cameo. Interesting to see how many unique hits there are - gives a good impression how many people there really are (despite the not very accurate site hits).
      I'm going to stick around too, even if I can't figure out how to register an account to be no longer an anon over here.

      @Anonymous From what I heard from some other forums Scott took the comic down because he wasn't pleased with it. Other than that I haven't heard of any drama.

      The page views and time spent on the site is probably actually more than the stats shows. I read most of the post using of Google Reader off of the RSS feed. I just pop onto the site to read/post comments or see newer posts that haven't gotten to Google Reader yet. Who knows how many more people do the same.

      More Pony Stats:

      I read someone's comment on Youtube saying that Rarity was 10% more awesome after A Dog and Pony Show. While this is hard to quantify it seems about right.
