hi, some time ago since my last report on website statistics. i'll
only write about the more "interesting" things for now. data is about
a single day or the last 2 weeks.

0. to make you paranoid, i've added tracking code to trac and the
wiki, i'll tell you later more about this.... ;)

1. more traffic. roughly since the end of august and with september
there is more traffic. more new users, websites bring more traffic to
sagemath.org and generally an indicator for more interest. all time
high was sep. 3rd with 2200 visits.
1.1 pages that link to us:
800 hits: 
http://techradar.com/news/internet/20-indispensible-linux-applications-461062
350 en.wikipedia
110 ubuntuforums (there was also a discussion about sage+debian+ubuntu ...)
related: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/12748/ (44 points!!!)
70 http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/22768 (from dec 2007,
but still high ... spike on aug 31 for whatever reason)

we are included in the heise.de software archive:
http://www.heise.de/software/download/sage/49691
i tried to fix the description, but my text wasn't accepted. i'll try
it again for the next release.

and of course, the usual suspects (blogs, the same from the last reports) etc.
conclusion: some interest on ubuntu sites, one bigger website made a
huge impact compared to other pages and old news articles matter,
since they can also generate much traffic nearly a year later...

about software archives, i think i should create a so called "pad"
file to provide all the information. anyone who wants to help or has
done this before?

2. browser wars, we have a new player, chrome!
(to be fair, these numbers are only since chrome is in the wild, sep 2-8)

1.      Firefox 6,248   62.98%  
2.      Internet Explorer         1,536         15.48%  
3.      Safari  763     7.69%   
4.      Mozilla 462     4.66%   
5.      Opera   358     3.61%   
6.      Chrome  284     2.86%   
7.      Konqueror       173     1.74%

and chrome has no spike so far, data is between 60-70 for each day.
so, this is not a one-week effect...

something else i want to point out, the IE 6 vs. 7 war:
7: 70% / 6: 30% (among IE users)
and ie6 has a total share of 4.6%
So, since the last data has a falling trend, i tend to state that we
are near the end of the ie6 era. at least, for my future thoughts
about the website, i wont spend much time on it anymore. soon, it will
be below opera (3.5%) and friends...

FF by the way is: 3.0.x : 77% / 2.x.x.x: 12.2%

----

operating systems

1.      Windows 10,159  46.58%  [XP: 77% / Vista 20% ]
2.      Linux   7,640   35.03%  
3.      Macintosh       3,806   17.45%

3. content
okay, top websites don't change ... the tour is more often viewed,
then download windows and download page. then help and then the rest.
but more important i think, the wiki pages, since they were not
monitored in detail:
here the list >0.5 %

1.      /interact       1,777   15.76%
2.      /interact/      1,677   14.88%
3.      /pics   1,647   14.61%
4.      /index.html     720     6.39%
5.      /faq    379     3.36%
6.      /DebianSAGE     354     3.14%
7.      /days10 310     2.75%
8.      /quickref       256     2.27%
9.      /windows        216     1.92%
10.     /SAGE_in_the_News       207     1.84%
11.     /RecentChanges  188     1.67%
12.     /graph_survey   179     1.59%
13.     /SAGE   157     1.39%
14.     /Teaching_with_SAGE     130     1.15%
15.     /windows/       100     0.89%
16.     /dev1   90      0.80%
17.     /sage-mode      75      0.67%
18.     /art    72      0.64%
19.     /ams-sage       71      0.63%
20.     /HelpContents   67      0.59%
21.     /Sage_Spkg_Tracking     63      0.56%
22.     /days9  63      0.56%
23.     /TracGuidelines 61      0.54%

so, if anyone wants to make the wiki better, improve those pages -
include links back to the main website, etc...

the top 10 trac tickets:
1.      /4059   94      1.52%
2.      /3857   69      1.12%
3.      /3377   67      1.09%
4.      /1754   63      1.02%
5.      /1877   63      1.02%
6.      /3924   62      1.01%
7.      /3905   59      0.96%
8.      /3954   58      0.94%
9.      /3956   56      0.91%
10.     /3960   53      0.86%

but i think that's not interesting, since it changes all the time and
well, nearly all around 60? silent rule?!

5. adwords, since money tends to go down and not up, i've stopped it
for now and will start it later and see if there is more activity.
otherwise, it mostly generated traffic from india and unless there
isn't more money it's kinda useless. one article like the one
mentioned above generates more traffic than any campaign (although,
only very few actually went to the download page from that article,
but the campaign was optimized for accessing the download page and
nearly 50% of them happened to be there)
