June Stats

[bobandbill]

Not as good as last month, but still pretty good!

Note - a couple numbers are slightly different now! That's because the time zone the stats work in has changed.

Compared to last month, there is no super-huge peak like last time. I'm not surprised. Back then we had both shiny events for Xerneas and Yveltal on top of the starter Pokemon being revealed, and that's always a huge bit of news for any gen. People generally care about the starter Pokemon more than any other.

We did have a peak early in the month (touch before the screenshot begins) and around June the 11th, which corresponds to Sun and Moon news. Same goes for the last day. It's worth noting that while we didn't have 3000+ views in a day, June's weakest day was a bit stronger than the weakest of May's. Furthermore, it's still a good improvement on April (views >3 times higher, and visitors >4 times).

Articles visited since start of month until 1st Jul:

Spoiler:

(Note that articles posted in the month have the orange tab to the left.) Not listing articles with <5 views this month.

Home page wins this time. It's also ~300 views higher than before, so that's good. The Solgaleo and Lunala article was the best of the actual articles, which pleases me. Nice round number for the CoroCoro news article too.

Let's ignore the dead events article - the Alola region article, GSC video article and the VisualJae article are popular older entries. Well done to those writers/video creators! Maybe we should consider the next interview article, and also just simpler fan feature articles given the VisualJae article (admittedly we're helped by his website).

Conservation theme article was next, then news articles. Outside those, the Shiny Pokemon article has a neat start to it, as did the Show, Don't Tell article.

Google's versions of the stats ('sessions' = views, seems lower than total stats):

Referrers (ie what sites people came from to visit the magazine)

Spoiler:

Google searches did dip down below 10,000 (not a bad complaint to have :V). The top two of the non-search-engine entries have to do with VisualJae, so that has certainly worked out nicely. Twitter is a touch down but facebook is nigh double to last month - note these two are overtaken by pokemonacademylife.com/gamejolt. Then we have 100+ thanks to Reddit.

Then we have our Finnish Pokemon forum, then 4chan (oh my), the thread on gbatemp thanks to the article by Team Fail which resulted in a newer article confirming his finding, and then a smattering of other websites.

Search engines terms (what people put in anything but Google to get to the magazine.

Spoiler:

I've cut out the single search terms. As usual, lots of 'unknown' search terms.

The funny and weird searches (that got clicks, and including google) include:

lunala whitening skeleton
chargabug pokemon
what happened to the special pokemon day
"teeth" yungoos trump
why dont like pikachu and they like greninja
kirby and straw hat pirates
...how do people not get that drampa is a combination of dragon and grampa?

Clicks (links clicked in articles)

Spoiler:

People like clicking wiki articles explaining more stuff about what some Pokemon are based on, the official site, and following the embeded tweets.

Country breakdown:

Spoiler:

US on top. Similar arrangement of countries on the top to May. I removed those with <10 hits.

Hi I just wanted to say having Daily at the top is extremely useful. I check PC normally and it waves time having to go over to Serebii and see the news. I know PC's always gonna have the important shit right on the index. I appreciate your efforts guys, good job!
