‹ Mini Review: The Fabulous Punch & Judy Show •
It’s nearly a month since I posted my tacky Heath Ledger joke page. What have we learned? Truth be told, not a lot more than I wrote in the Day 1 lessons and the items tagged “heath ledger”.
But let’s look at the total traffic anyway, this time using a graph from Google Analytics which shows visits only visitors to the jokes page.
As of just now, there’s been 11,717 page views in total, representing 8,798 unique visitors who stayed on average for 3 mins 44 secs per visit — quite respectable!
Traffic took a couple of days to peak — the first day being fuelled by Google Adwords — with a secondary peak the following week when Ledger’s funeral arrangements hit the news. Google rates the peaks as about 1000 visits a day and even now, a month later, we’re still seeing 60 to 80 visits a day.
As for the jokes themselves, well… to be honest I really don’t want to read them again. Most of them were crap. If you’ve got any astounding sociological observations, feel free to post a comment.

Reminds me of the illustration in The Little Prince, a snake eating an elephant.

Will you reveal the total adwords cost Stil? I may have missed it.

Too bad that the traffic graph can’t give a breakdown of how many people visited the site because they enjoy Heath Ledger jokes and how many did so in order to vent their righteous indignation, or possibly were looking for something to be righteously indignant about. Inquiring minds want to know.
