Traffic growth for www.STEREO.org.ua looks promising now:
Especially so in the light of STEREO.org.ua having been largely neglected until late July 2007 since the last record was published in January. No wonder traffic plummeted then.

Google strives to acquire user data. All those services – Gmail, Earth, Maps, … you name ‘em – are geared to harvest personal behavioral information to “better serve ads to the customers”. G doesn’t even hide its intentions and directly states them in ToS (Terms of Service) pages.

The two most common approaches in Web analytics are:
Page tagging is the method of choice from the commercial standpoint. However, it’s got its characteristic drawbacks:
On the other hand there is one nice web stats tool operating in the old good logfile analysis realm, which is AWStats. Until recently it was a reliable work horse for many webmasters delivering quite useful reports about origin breakdown, sessions (visits duration), lists of landing pages (“entry”) & exit pages – categories commonly associated with the more complex page tagging statistics systems.
What happened to it?

По неведомым причинам STEREO.org.ua выпал из индекса Яндекса (такой вот каламбур) где-то в январе 2007 года. В то время “Я” лидировал в поставках трафика сюда, обгоняя Google на 20%. Потом яндексовский трафик пропал. Совсем.

Ever wanted to set up a weekly or monthly mailing list for your blog?
FeedBurner is good for a daily email dispatch which is attainable by just “burning” your feed and activating mail service for it.
But how about less frequent mailings?
And how about selecting only the best articles to include in those rare mails?
It’s easy. Better yet, it can be automated with standard components for your WordPress installation.
To set up a Weekly (or Monthly) Top Posts mailing list just follow these

Плагиат – одна из штуковин, которыми про-блоггеры пугают начинающих веб-журналистов.
Признаться, было неприятно, попав на страничку, увидеть в самом верху, в качестве основной темы, мой собственный текст (пост о телефонном коде Украины), воспроизведённый точь-в-точь.
Три года назад Ashley Qualls попросила у мамы $8 на регистрацию домена Whateverlife.com для своего хобби – создание и раздавание одноклассницам макетов дизайна для MySpace. Как оказалось, это была первая (и единственная) инвестиция в её веб-бизнес, который сейчас приносит $70,000 в месяц и уже заработано более миллиона долларов.

Скайп потребляет 24 MB за час разговора. Входящий и исходящий трафик распределяются поровну: 28 kbps + 28 kbps = 56 kbps. При разговоре через SOCKS прокси via SSH потребление вырастает до 60 MB за час. Исходящего при этом в 2 раза больше входящего.

A number of visitors to Stereo blog have been found to be looking for info on how much traffic Skype consumes. So I thought I’d publish my personal observations here.
Skype-to-Skype conversation costs me 24 MB / hour incoming+outgoing in sum, with in&out roughly equal.
This amounts to 56 kbps both ways (28 kbps in + 28 kbps out). The vocoder used (voice codec) is usually ISAC, I guess.
When I was using a trick for free Skype-to-phone calls (SkypeOut) I had to employ SOCKS proxy via SSH channel and bandwidth consumption raised up to around 60 MB per hour (1 MB equaling 1 minute of talk) with outgoing traffic about twice as high as incoming.
In/Out traffic disparity in this case is likely due to the nature of SSH technology.
Codec used for SkypeOut: G.729
Note however, these figures are applicable to a “passive node” Skype instance only. If you happen to have your Skype open to the world (if you’ve got loose firewall policies or no firewall at all e.g.) to relay traffic for all the strangers out there, expect the traffic to be like you’re having a few independent Skype conversations simultaneously all the time your computer is on, regardless whether you talk or not.
Обнаружилось: из Японии на моём сайте www.stereo.org.ua, посвящённом аудиозаписям, больше посетителей, чем из Беларуси…
Понятно теперь где интернет больше развит?
