Summary for September
I don't know why I even keep that Site Meter link on my sidebar. If the statisitics provided by my hosting service are accurate, SiteMeter is way, way off base.
I mean, look at this:
I was hoping we would have 12,000 unique visitors in September and we had almost 13,500. We should have our 25,000th unique visitor sometime over the next few days. But according to SiteMeter, we've had fewer than 8,000 visits.
According to official SiteMeter rankings, The Speculist is ranked in the mid-400's out of a list of more than 1300 blogs. That's not bad. I'm in the upper third or at least comfortably in the upper half. Now, if SiteMeter is accurate for everybody else and only wrong for me (granted, that's unlikely) my daily average for September of 652 means I should be ranked somewhere right around 100, which would be pretty sweet. Does anybody have any idea what the deal is with SiteMeter? Do you have to have one of those paid accounts in order to get accurate stats?
Anyway, thanks to all of you who paid us a visit in September, and please come back often.
