This post compares my traffic figures on the Wardman Wire for September using four different analysis systems I have in place.

These figures are taken monthly over the life of the Wardman Wire from March 2007, and range from 2-3000 unique visitors per month up to around 10,000 to 15,000 per month.

I do the analysis and conclusions at the top of the article. The detailed graphs and data tables are at the bottom. I will upload the full spreadsheet with the detailed data over at Poliblog Perspective.

Just under a fortnight ago I looked at how the public profile of Mr Usmanov, the “strategic stakeholder” in Arsenal FC who now wants to buy the whole shooting match, has been vastly increased by schillings’ Reputation Management Lawyers attempts to reduce it.

I thought I would revisit the “Blog Buzz” charts to see if the story has retained its traction. Here they are. You can see that the buzz for both went down at the weekend - as we would expect - but that the interest is increasiung again three weeks after Mr Usmanov had Schillings start sabre-rattling against websites expressing their opinions.

Now here’s a question:

• If a good number of the keenest Politicos are at Brighton / Blackpool / Birmingham, will they be accessing poliblogs more or less?
• And does it make a difference depending on which conference it is running?

During my holidays in late August I have had a number of Guest Bloggers posting over at my political blog The Wardman Wire .

I have posted my initial reflections on the Pros and Cons of Guest Bloggers over at Ars Politica.

To find what they have been writing about, look at the Wardman Wire archives for 27 August through to around September 5th.

Top 18 Doughty Street Programmes

In late June and early July I posted deep links into a number of programmes at 18 Doughty Street.

I have analysed my log files and since late June/ early July there have been just over 2500 clickthroughs.

If you read this, and have found the lists I have provided useful - please drop a comment in the box below or email me at “mattwardman AT gmail DOT com”.

I’m thinking about expanding the number of programmes I cover, but it’s quite a lot of work so I am looking for some feedback first.

Statistics Sunday is an occasional series looking at the detail of a web statistic for the Wardman Wire.

Following on from my post 2 weeks ago, I have looked at search engine referrals for the first 30 days of July for comparison.
