Top 10 search phrases in Feb

Something from the stats again. :)

People google for the following words before they enter Mini treasures wiki:

1. dollhouse printables
2. mini printables
3. minitreasures wiki
4. miniature printables
5. dollhouse miniature printables
6. miniature printies
7. dollhouse blogs
8. dollhouse miniatures japanese room
9. puppenhaus lundby
10. ddung

No wonder printables page is the most popular page in our wiki :). See also the other popular pages.

What is your favorite printable site at the moment and is it found from the wiki already?

But the 10th phrase was a real surprise for me. ddung! Are the some people making miniature projects inspired by her?

The end of this year stats

I thought it is time to check some stats again as the year is almost over. :)

During this year we got nearly 30 000 unique visitors to our wiki. Wow, that is something! :) How ever a lot of them left the site almost immediately so I guess they came via search engines looking for something else. I hate the way e.g. "dollhouse" is being used - it is a name of a band and a tv-serie and a book and what else... Why can't they leave the word for us? :P

Still the average visitor spent 4 minutes on our site. :)

Where do the visitors live?

1. United States 18 806
2. Finland 4 724
3. Canada 4 057
4. United Kingdom 2 925
5. Germany 2 440
6. Netherlands 2 219
7. Spain 1 624
8. Australia 1 266
9. Italy 772
10. France 734

Are you surprised about the figures or missing countries? Do help us in promoting the wiki! If you like it tell about it to your mini colleagues - e.g. write to your own dollhouse blog, forum or mag. I can help you by providing information for you :). Or take any button from this page to be added to your own page. :) Finland is number 2 because I come from Finland and me and my friends promote it a lot locally. Canada is number 3 mainly thanks to Linda who is promoting it there. I am not sure who are the promoters in US and UK or the rest of the countries, if it is you, tell me :). For Netherlands it must be Jasmina...

Where do they come?
Of course I guess some promoters by the traffic sources. :) The yearly top-10 list is:

1. google / organic
2. (direct) / (none)
3. flickr.com / referral
4. bing / organic
5. yahoo / organic
6. facebook.com / referral
7. nukkekoti.pbworks.com / referral
8. jasminasnoussi.punt.nl / referral
9. minitreasures.blogspot.com / referral
10. google.com / referral

And what they look then? The top-10 pages were:

1. /printables
2. / main page
3. advent_calendar_2010
4. /trash_minis
5. /projects
6. /diy
7. /character_dolls
8. /roomboxes
9. /museums
10. /shops

It will be interesting to see how the stats look like next year. :)

Now it is time to thank you once again you, Mini Treasures friends and fans. I am hoping you have a wonderful year with lots of mini treasures :).

Top-10 searches & printies

Maybe you are also interested about the most used search phrases? They were

1. mini printables
2. picture ice cream chairs made from champagn cork
3. diy miniature
4. roomboxes
5. dollhouse printables
6. miniature fairies
7. dollhouse miniature printables
8. miniature food tutorial
9. miniature printables
10. miniature printies

so a lot of people are looking for printies. Makes sense to me. Have you noticed that when you search for printies you often go to pages which start to warn you about some kind of danger? So if we all put our links to MTW it would be safe for us to search our printies through it. And we have a printie group too at Flickr where we can collect nice printies. :) Have you any nice Christmas printies you could add there now?

Top-10 pages @ MTW

Haven't had time to check the stats for a while but now I am sharing you a list of the 10 most popular pages. Are these also your favorites?

1. printables
2. trash_minis
3. character_dolls
4. advent_calendar_2010 - I guess this will be the most popular page in December :)
5. christmas
6. diy
7. projects
8. advent_calendar_2009 :)
9. museums
10. roomboxes

Analytics from the past month (Feb-Mar)

Someone may have wondered what on earth I did today - spamming the ones who order feeds by editing dozens of pages. I was adding Google Analytics codes - they need to be in every page and I have not find a way to include it in the side layout. The reason I want to get stats out of the wiki is of course the better I know the way you use it the better I can customize it for you.

So let´s check the statistics together again...

The growth from the previous month is 15.8% - not bad at all :). On average day we get 80 visitors who check 3 pages at the time. During the month we got 1617 unique visitors.

The top 5 pages by visitors are
1. main page
2. printables
3. projects
4. trash minis
5. diy

also character dolls, shops, museums, roomboxes and food are among the top ten landing pages.

The top 10 countries were
1. United States
2. Finland
3. United Kingdom
4. Germany
5. Netherlands
6. Canada
7. Spain
8. Australia
9. Greece
10. Italy

- what a surprise to see Greece there! This means that I need to create a page for them :).

The top 10 referring sites were
1. Google
2.(direct)
3. flickr.com
4. bing
5. nukkekoti.pbworks.com
6. facebook.com
7. schifka.vuodatus.net
8. twitterfeed and 9. twitter.com
10. yahoo

Nanna was among the ten top sites last time too, I think I need to ask an interview from her soonish. :)

When we remove the searches from the list also the following sites bring a lot of traffic: this blog, en.wikipedia.org, debbiestinytreasures.blogspot.com, hannajaleijona.blogspot.com and theminifoodblog.blogspot.com . Thank you so much for linking to the wiki :).

Wiki metrics

Some time ago I shared metrics from Google Analytics with you and as I found it really interesting I do it again. :)

TOP-10 countries (wiki visitors)
1. United States
2. Finland
3. Canada
4. Spain
5. United Kingdom
6. Netherlands
7. Germany
8. Australia
9. Denmark
10. Philippines

Are these the countries with most miniaturists also?

On average people stay 5 minutes in the wiki and visit 3.13 pages.

I started measuring the wiki in November and now there are 50 people who have visited the wiki 100-200 times during these months. Quite a lot :).

The most popular search phrase was ´how to make dollhouse from foam core´ so I made a new page for that.

The most popular wiki pages during the last 30 days were:

1. printables
2. main page
3. trash_minis - I am very glad about this since I am one of those miniaturists who love to turn trashes to treasures :)
4. diy - do it yourself is number 4 while shops are lower...
5. projects - my favorite page as I always want to do theme projects
6. hearts - well, we just had Valentine´s day :)
7. roomboxes - interesting, roomboxes are more popular than dollhouses...
8. shops
9. advent_calendar_2009 - people were still looking at our advent calendar and I am not surprised - it was very nice indeed, thanks again for everyone who participated :)
10. facebook - a new page I created to collect all those nice fan pages and groups there in Facebook for us miniaturists and doll lovers.

Top-10 sites bringing traffic to the wiki:
1. google
2.(direct) - via bookmarks
3. flickr.com - via our group I guess
4. nukkekoti.pbworks.com - this is my dollhouse wiki in Finnish
5. facebook.com - via our Facebook page I guess
6. bing
7. schifka.vuodatus.net - via Nanna´s blog
8. yahoo
9. ca.mc539.mail.yahoo.com - via Canadian Yahoo mails
10. hannajaleijona.blogspot.com - via Hanna´s blog

Nanna and Hanna both belong to a dollhouse discussion group called Nukkekotielämää which I started with my friends 7 years ago and now we are like one happy family with about 40 miniaturist (we are limiting the amount of members so that we can know each other). I am very happy to have them in this list :).

The more I study the results the better I can customize the wiki for you. I just wish I had more time for this...

Top 10 sites bringing traffic to the wiki

I am a statistician so I love studying the numbers, stats and graphs - and I want to share my studies with you :). This time I looked the top 10 web pages that are bringing traffic to the wiki.

1. direct traffic, i.e. people who have bookmarked the site
2. jasminasnoussi.punt.nl - this is something amazing, Jasmina beat Google! Hurray! She is writing an online web magazine with cool links she has seen recently - see it translated to English
3. Google
4. nukkekoti.pbworks.com - this is the big sister of Mini treasures wiki, the first wiki I established (in Finnish) - you can study it in English too
5. poohbeers.eigenstart.nl - another Dutch site full of cool mini links, see it translated to English
6. miniaturama.webavenue.be - a Belgium based miniature discussion forum in French, see it translated in English
7. minitreasures.blogspot.com - this blog :). Thank you readers! :)
8. adventkalender.punt.nl - a Dutch miniature advent calendar with links to other calendars, see it translated to English
9. mustix.vuodatus.net - one of my favorite miniature blogs in Finnish, see the translation in English
10. facebook.com - I guess the Facebook traffic is coming mainly from the new wiki fan page but there might be people linking to the wiki from their own profiles as well.

So what do you think, was this interesting information and did you find any cool new sites? It is quite funny that all the top ten sources were in other languages than English (except Google and Facebook of course). I think I will share the same stats with you again as this was so interesting :).

Where do the wiki readers come from?

Studying this map shows you where in world there are Mini treasures wiki readers. A lot of green already :). Never been in so many countries myself but now I have created something that goes where I can´t go. :)

Statistics from Mini treasures wiki

In the spring I tried to add Google Analytics to Mini treasures wiki but gave up too early after problems. In November I met an Analytics expert who also had trouble - and only after that I asked help from PBworks team. They gave the answer quick as always and now I am sorry I did not asked them before. Well, better late than never.

So now I have some statistics to share with you. It is not perfect as the Analytics code is added only to about 5% of the wiki pages but as time goes on I try to add it to all pages.

Now that we have the Advent calendar (see 12th window by Pubdolls) ongoing the number of daily visitors has grown a lot - 10 times more than in November! :) Cool and thank you for your interest :).

From Sitemeter (measuring only the main page) I have learned that there are visitors all over the world but Analytics is giving more detailed information.

The wiki visitors in the last month came from the following countries

1. Netherlands (a surprise for me)
2. Finland (not a surprise as I am Finnish myself)
3. Germany (another surprise)

5. Spain (a surprise too although Spanish are very active in our Flickr pool)
6. Austria
7. France
8. Belgium
9. United Kingdom
