March 2021 Blog Statistics

It’s the twentieth. And as I’ve been doing for 39 posts now, it’s time for my monthly blog stat reports.

I’ve been focusing more on my campaign site, so I haven’t spent the time I normally do on this site.

That said, I did write three posts this month:

The three posts I wrote this month are:

• No-Shave Winter - 121 Selfies Across 121 Days
• February 2021 Book Reading List
• 3D Colorspace Geometry

Alexa

Last month, my Alexa rank was under a million. Now it’s back over a million:

• Global Rank → 1,273,337

Google Analytics

Nothing special here, other than consistant views:

• Sessions → 4,502
• Users → 4,000
• Pageviews → 5,237

Google Search Console

• Clicks → 3,180
• Search Impressions → 77,800
• Average position → 24.8

AdSense

My ad serving has been limited once again. This is the third time in the past three months.

The first time was from December 19th through December 30th - 11 days.

The second time was from January 22nd through February 6th - 15 days.

This time it started on March 4th. It looks as if it may have lifted as of March 18th (so 14 days) but there still is the following warning at the top of my AdSense console:

It seems I’m not alone in this - there’s a couple of reddit threads (one on /r/juststart/ on 3/7/2021 and one on /r/Adsense/ at 3/18/2021) where people are complaining of the same thing.

No one knows exactly why, but everyone is assuming it’s a problem with Google’s AI.
