So, it looks as if most of the people who arrive at Monkey from Google aren’t actually searching for Monkey or forensic stuff! I have become a keyword spammer…kill me now.
The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:
The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.
Crunchy numbers
About 3 million people visit the Taj Mahal every year. This blog was viewed about 44,000 times in 2010. If it were the Taj Mahal, it would take about 5 days for that many people to see it.
In 2010, there were 44 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 59 posts. There were 57 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 4mb. That’s about 1 pictures per week.
The busiest day of the year was March 12th with 909 views. The most popular post that day was 10 signs that you work in computer forensics.
Where did they come from?
The top referring sites in 2010 were twitter.com, facebook.com, praetorianprefect.com, blogs.sans.org, and forensicsfromthesausagefactory.blogspot.com.
Some visitors came searching, mostly for leda and the swan, rumpelstiltskin, phil spector, cartman, and south park.

I am glad to see the Blog-Health-o-Meter recognises the greatness of Chairman Monkey. I presume you can now release its family 🙂

I bet they’re honest hits though – mine all seem to be looking for fine art (ha!) or Southpark.

It’s the swan pic I used in the Daily Mail piece. Seems like a popular Google term – who knew?

Nice to see that you were my top referrer!
The freeks that came to my site via keywords were looking for some wierd sh*t!
I only managed 3 jumbo’s, but not bad for a novice chicken I’d say. (Doesn’t say if they were the engine exploding Super Jumbo, or the old fashioned “not likely to make it over the Atlantic” style one.)
Keep up the excellent work – it’s like I always say “If you can’t destroy them, then corrupt them from within!” Here’s hoping that the mangement give me plenty of material to work with (it’s only January 11th, and I already have several ideas brewing….)

Probably super jumbos packed full of cool people.
I need to get my arse back in gear with this Monkey lark. I’ve got lazy.
