An interesting comparison of my site stats vs Joel Olsen.

Thanks to Joel for publishing some of his Google Analytics details. I noticed a few subtle differences between my stats (all of wssdemo.com, including blog) and Joel's.

1. Direct vs Google are swapped around, hence the title of this post! (this is for one day...). As far as the keywords go, I'm just not famous :-(

2. Non Search Engine referrals, the LinkedIn referrals relate to job offers from recruitment companies that want me to work in obscure places

3. Search Traffic (1 week) – I had a total of 16 search engines although I had never heard of 11-16

4. Technical Profile – almost identical

5. Global Reach – India is higher up for me, I think that might be all the MS PSS & PFE people there who click on my internal email signature when I answer their internal request for help emails.

If Joel could install the CKS:EBE then his RSS feed issues would be solved. My Feed Burner subscribers per day are > 700.
