NUMBERS: 3 MONTHS CHINA VISA BLOG

it is a little bit more than 3 months that this blog was opened. It was opened to highlight the problems and side effects caused by this new nonsense "china visa regulations". Surely it would have been naive to only have the idea that a blog would change something on this problem.
But at least some people are reading it and responding to it - that is okay already. Some people maybe feel bothered - this is also okay.
Higher expectations are not existing. Here some statistics / numbers and facts of this last 3 months. Most of them recorded with "site meter" and other tools to monitor the traffic on this page. Site meter was only active 2 weeks after starting the blog, so the numbers counted are slightly lower.
Please see following:
- total 106 posts
- 205 comments on blog + 28 comments on poll
- approx. 30 comments not published because..........
- most far away visitor from Netherland Antilles (more than 10,000 miles to HK)
- percentage of visitors: 60% Asia, 23% USA, 12% EU, 3% AU/NZ + 2% unkown
- total page views: 15,060
- total page visits 8,807
- OS systems: 62% Windows XP, 21.2% Win NT, 12% Mac OS, 3% Linux
- Languges in OS: 79% English, 10% Chinese, rest is Japan, Korea, Thai, German, Dutch etc.
Biggest dissapointment in this 3 months:
HK SAR Government for almost doing nothing. It seems they just made a lame attempt to "clarify the new procedures" in the early beginning. But maybe immediately they have been told "not to interfere into national security policy" and have been advised to simply shut up.
A little surprise (just recently):
More and more visitors from the mainland. Can it be some gates of the "Great Wall" have been opened in order not to get blamed by foreign media about the blocking.
It is half-time now - in 3 months lets hope all the nonsense will simply dissapear !
AND HERE ENJOY KRAFTWERK WITH SOME MORE NUMBERS:
