Autarchy of the Private Cave

Here’s the ultimate proof :

One can clearly see that on weekends the number of unique visitors of my blog drops drastically to about 40-50% of the working week average.

And yes, that is an almost perfect 5+2 pattern, which I’m observing for many months, like a week-long circadian rhythm. “Almost perfect” must be due to the differences in time zones.

I wonder if the same pattern is characteristic for most web-sites… That is, if people mostly do the browsing at work, and not at home.

Anybody wants to share the secret cycles of one’s blog audience?

Just came across yet another geo-tracking visitors service. (For two more, see my previous posts on ClustrMaps.)

I decided to try the ClustrMaps service – they offer a mini-map of geographical locations of your site visitors (you can see a sample at the bottom of the right sidebar and of this post… currently no ‘dots’ there, as it is freshly installed). Registration is simple. If you have Sidebar Widgets plugin, you will only need to add ‘Text’ block somewhere, and paste in the code provided at ClustrMaps admin page.

Somewhat useless, especially when you already have Google Analytics running for your site (it has a very similar to ClustrMaps’ geo display… as if it might be different ). The good thing is that this geo-statistic is public.

Note, that free ClustrMaps is limited to 2500 visitors a day, and you are obliged to make the thumbnail map visible (no hidden counters). Of course, there are also paid versions – ClustrMaps+ and ClustrMaps Pro. Find more details yourself at ClustrMaps.
