Tag clouds and visitor numbers

Visitor numbers for my Web site keep growing. Last March was the first time my Web site saw over 1,000 unique visitors. This October, just over half a year later, I broke the 2,000 figure. The total amount of unique visitors for March 2007 was 2,228. Total visits amassed to 7,324; total pages to 15,558; and total hits to 32,356. FeedBurner tells me that there are approximately 55 people subscribed to my feed for Dutch Perspective, up from 43 last March.

Most viewed page was still “dutchperspective/feed” up to 4,341 page views from 2,989 in March. Hits from search engines continued to grow with 396 different key phrases and 697 different key words delivering 355 hits from Google, 174 from unknown search engines, 155 from Google Images, 17 from Yahoo, and several other hits from other search engines. Interesting to note that unknown search engines and Google Image searches skyrocketed.

Surprisingly, Metrosexual is no longer the most used key word in search engines. Dutch is now the most used key word with 3.1%, followed by Metrosexual with 2.7%. Others include (3) Chicago, (4) [van] bree, (5) second [life] and (6) public [relations].

Scott Baradell over at Media Orchard posted an interesting concept yesterday: “What Do Your Google Search Results Say About You? Create a Brand Cloud to See for Yourself.” And that is exactly what I did. As suggested, I copied the text from the Google search results into TagCrowd. I do have to mention I excluded the results that were not about me, but about the other Marc van Bree, a casting director in the Netherlands. To make up for that, I used the first five pages instead of the first three pages.

This is my own personal brand Tag Cloud:
