I rarely use stats, but I do know that someone found my site by searching for, “graham old heretic”!

Hmm… say what you really think!

I use two things: StatCounter, which only looks at the details of the last 100 hits (but keeps a count of all the hits since you start using it). And in January, I started using Google Analytics as well. I like Google Analytics, but it’s complicated… I find it difficult to figure out how to look at what I want to look at.

So on a daily basis, I look at StatCounter and for charts and longer term things, I look to Google Analytics.

The most common ones for me are people in our Paul and the Law class looking me up with searches like “matt barnes fuller” and the like and things having to do with yokes (apparently may “impossible yoke” series gets hits when people look up “unequally yoked” “yokes in agriculture” etc).

Do you use sitemeter or some other service?

Oh man, I get all kinds of searches that find me. Lots of searches on Anabaptists, women in ministry issues, people I’ve mentioned (“Christopher Spinks” is one of the hot search items believe it or not!), books I’ve mentioned. Two recent ones that found me were “gpa to get into the princeton seminary phd” (I assume, like any other marquee school, it’s around 3.8-4.0) and “shakespeare hermeneutical method” (would that be Shakespeare’s hermeneutical method of the Bible or a hermeneutical approach to Shakespeare’s works?).

Another interesting question I got once: “Does the bible talk about feminism?” Yes, I believe Gloria Steinem is mentioned in Leviticus

It is fun to see how people get to your blog. I have gotten several people who were looking for Matt Barnes the basketball player. I bet they were surprised!

Well… I wouldn’t be surprised! But it appears that the googler was in Fairfield, Connecticut on the 18th of March at 6:30pm. I believe Jim West would have an alibi that would place him elsewhere at the time of the crime.

‘I hope that said googler found the answer to be “yes.”‘

It would be great to discover the answer to that, wouldn’t it? Perhaps the questionner was Jim West?!
