Since it was the end of the month yesterday, I thought I should take a look at the statistics for the site and see how it’s going since I’ve been blogging more. I’ve had a nice steady rise in monthly readers, mostly thanks to those nice bloggers (Lee Odden, Matt McGee, Lisa Barone, et al) who’ve linked over here and sent me some traffic. Now, one of the fun features of Google Analytics is the map graphic that shows you where the traffic comes from (yes all analytics tools tell you this, but I’m a sucker for a pretty picture). Being from the sceptered isle, I wasn’t too shocked to see a chunk of traffic coming from over there. Then I did a double-take when I noticed where the majority of that UK traffic was coming from… Skipton, West Yorkshire?

Even more curiously the referrer for all of the Skipton traffic is the website for a furniture store… (well more accurately it’s on another port on their website which leads to a password protected area). Being an East Yorkshire lad, I don’t know anyone in Skipton, but it’s not that far from Ripon where a certain Dave Naylor resides…
