Five months on: Milestone 100th post; more than 13,000 views! :)

List of the top 10 most read posts for July 2011.
[See list for the ALL TIME most read posts below]

Even in keeping up a blog, time zips by so fast. Since, I launched this blog last March, it has been a challenge to think of new things every so often to share to you, my visitors. Thankfully, knowing that there are actual people from around the world who visit my site makes all the hard work worth it.

List of most read posts of ALL TIME (since the blog went live last March)

It's amazing to note that since this blog went live last March, I've created more than 100 posts! The post that was incidentally the 100th is "Ginger and coffee mix is newest hot drink in town."

You can rest assured I'll try my best to set aside time to make sure there's always something new for you every time you visit (so visit more often! hehe).

Last month, the blog received 2,405 views. It brings the total number of views (since the blog went live last March) to over 13,000. That is amazing! :)

The most read post for the month of July (that was posted in that same month) is "10 Things I learned about Malaysia and its wonderful people." Surprisingly, the most read post for the month of July (that was not necessarily posted during the month) was "South Africa bags 'Mr Gay World' 2011 title, a post which went live last March.

Overall, since TWIST went live last March, these three posts were the most read ever (so far): "How to sell a Swarovski-encrusted P15,000 footwear" which has been read 946 times since it was posted last June. Runners-up include Questionable restaurant "policies" (read 366 times since April) and "Sand isn't just for castle making" (read 243 times since March; the post, by the way, features newly uploaded high quality pictures).

For the month of July, this are the countries that made up the majority of the 2,405 views

The statistics junkie that I am, please allow me to bore you with a couple more numbers. This month, 38% of the 2,405 views came from the Philippines; 17% came from the United States; and almost 7% came from Malaysia.

The blog has gotten more than 13,000 views since March.
This is majority of those views have come from :)

Overall, since TWIST was launched last March, the percentage of visitors from the Philippines has continued to slide--from 68% in March; to 65% in April; to 63% in May; to 61% in June; and 57% counting the July numbers. This suggests that the blog is gaining followers outside the country.

Thanks to my Malaysia-centric posts last July, the neighboring country now ranks fourth among countries from which most numbers of visitors from this site comes from. Amazing! :)

*** Just in case you're wondering what this post is all about, every month, the first blog entry goes to my “monthly report” as to what happened in the last 30 days here at TWIST—which post was read the most; from which countries the thousands of views came from; and stuff of that nature.  :) ***
