October 2020 Blog Statistics

The twentieth of the month means it’s time for my monthly blog stats report. This month it’s October - covering the time frame from September 20th - October 19th, 2020.

Over the past month I wrote five blog posts:

• Jack-o-Lanterns
• I’m an AbeBooks Affiliate
• Where Can You Earn Better Interest Rates Now That Even High-Yield Savings Account Rates are Low?
• September 2020 Book Reading List
• A Not-So-Surprise Hot Air Balloon Ride Belated Birthday Present

Alexa

My Alexa rank dropped about 200,000, but at almost 4 million, that means it mostly stayed the same:

• Global Rank → 3,617,637

Google Analytics

All four of the stats I keep track of are over 1,000 for this month:

• Sessions → 1,272
• Users → 1,116
• Pageviews → 1,692

Google Search Console

My search console graph has gone a bit crazy this month. The search impressions alone are over 30k - compared to a measly 1,860 last month. Funnily enough, the next highest search impression was last October at 26,500 impressions.

The page that has taken up nearly half of the impressions is Unlocking a 2004 Honda Civic Radio and Setting the Clock at 14,651 impressions (and a whopping 408 clicks). I guess that makes sense since the time will be changing soon.

• Clicks → 769
• Search Impressions → 30,400
• Average position → 31.4

AdSense

Less than three bucks to go before I hit the magical $100 and cash out. It’s only taken me, what, five years? At 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, that’s equivalent to… Not even a penny an hour:

40 hours * 52 weeks * 5 years = 10,400 hours
$100 / 10,400 hours ≈ 0.96¢ / hour

• Balance → $97.41
• Estimated earnings → $11.28
• Impressions → 3,077
• Clicks → 35

Not much has changed with the Moz stats, except that I’ve lost five linking domains:
