Happy New Year and a bit of reverse stat porn

For my final post of 2011, I'll admit that I sometimes wonder how many hits other 'blogs get from mine, but unfortunately I see no way of finding out the long run figures (Statcounter only tells me what happened over the past day or so).

However Blogger Stats tells (tell?) me from which other 'blogs I've had most hits since May 2009, so thank you to Leg-Iron (twenty referrals a day) and everybody else on the list. I hope that traffic flows both ways:I have no idea what googlecorrection.com is, or what I did to deserve 1,935 visits, but I can tell you where a lot of the visits from google.co.uk or google.com (eighty a day) end up. Yup, the top six search results are all non-serious, non-economic posts of no intellectual merit whatsoever (but pleasing to the male eye):Finally, here's the overview. What is puzzling is that if my blog truly gets a thousand pageviews a day, how come the four serious posts in the list above have only had a five hundred hits each in the past thirty months? I suppose the only way to explain this is the incredible turnover - Blogger tells me that I average four new posts a day (is it really that many? I'd have guessed two or three), so maybe each post just gets two or three hundred pageviews and then disappears off the radar:
