Naturalism - the Eighth Sense Blog notes steady rise in Viewership

Dr Abe V Rotor

1. Viewership profile indicates a steady growth in the number of pageviews. Viewership reached the 2,500 monthly record in 2012, and continued to increase to the present level as shown in the graph below.    

(A pageview is each time a visitor views a page on your website, regardless of how many hits are generated. Pages are comprised of files. Every image in a page is a separate file. When a visitor looks at a page (a pageview), they may see numerous images, graphics, pictures etc. and generate multiple hits.)

Figure 2 - Historical trend of viewership June 2008 to Sept 19, 2014

2. For September 19, 2014 there are 230 pageviews; For the month of August 2014, there were 4,549 pageviews recorded, while the overall total is 76,353 (June 2008 to the present). As shown in the table and graph below.

3. Here are the top participating countries. Google provides data for the day, current week and month, which can be opened anytime. Overall, the US leads the top ten countries with 23,168 pageviews.  This is followed by The Philippines, the host country, with 18,393. 

The combined share of the US and the Philippines is 55 percent of the total pageviews of 76,353. Ukrtaine, Russia and India occupy the third, fourth and fifth place, respectively. 

France, Germany, UK, China and Turkey rank  comprise the second group (6th to 10th).   The difference in viewership among the members of the second group , from that in the first group is great. Thus, they are more vulnerable to change in ranking taken on daily, weekly, and even monthly basis.
