November 2020 Blog Statistics

Another month, another dollar. Time for my monthly blog stat report.

Over the past month I only wrote three blog posts:

• fast.ia ModuleNotFoundError in Google Colab
• Time as Distance
• October 2020 Book Reading List

Alexa

My Alexa rank dropped another three-hundred thousand, and is quickly approaching four million:

• Global Rank → 3,924,894

Google Analytics

Even though my Alexa rank keeps going up (which is bad) by Google Analytics numbers keep going up. This month, they’re all over 2,000:

• Sessions → 2,340
• Users → 2,111
• Pageviews → 2,944

AdSense

My AdSense balance is finally over $100, which means that I should be getting a direct deposit soon. It hasn’t happened yet - I think it can happen at most once a month, and I’m not sure what day of the month it happens. I checked, and I have inputted my bank account and tax info into my AdSense account.

Here are this month’s numbers:

• Balance → $121.48
• Estimated earnings → $56.21
• Impressions → 6,950
• Clicks → 91

Google AdSense Graph for November

It has taken me over four years to get to this point. The first post I made on this iteration of my blog was on September 2, 2015. When I looked at my AdSense data, the first date with data was March 30, 2016. The first date with any estimated earnings was June 20, 2016.

In fact, looking at the commit history for the AdSense code on this blog, it looks as if I added AdSense on March 24, 2016.

For fun, I created a little graph showing the growth of my AdSense balance over time:

I last did something like this back in my July 2018 blog stats post. This time, however, I saved the AdSense data into a CSV file. Feel free to look at it if you want.

Moz Stats

Not much has changed with the Moz stats, except that I’ve lost five linking domains and gone up one point in domain authority:

• Moz Domain Authority → 31
• Moz Linking Domains → 515
