Four and a half million page views: The Numbers Game in Long Distance Blogging

 

I know it's just a number but there is some Long Distance Blogging behind this figure. It roughly amounts to about a million page views per year. Here are the historical figures:

• December 17, 2015, 4.5 million page views
• May 21, 2015, 4 million page views
• December 2, 2014, 3.5 million page views
• June 7, 2014 3 million page views
• November 07, 2013, 2.5 million page views
• May 27, 2013 2 million page views
• October 25, 2012, 1.5 million page views

a page view is not the same as a "unique visit", here is that figure:  

or about 261,000 unique visits this year which amounts to 745 unique visits per day on average, a number that is consistent with Google's sessions numbers. There are also 800 people who receive the blog posts by Email directly.

Here are some interesting tags developed over the years:

• CS (2279) for Compressive Sensing
• MF (593) for Matrix Factorization
• implementation (408) that features work that has code implementation associated with them.
• ML (322)  for Machine Learning
• every month, there is a review of the month's blog entries. They are summarized in the  NuitBlancheReview tag (40 so far, so I have been doing this summaries for the past 3 years already)

 the social network "extension" of the blog include:

• The Google+ Community (1652),
• the CompressiveSensing subreddit (1077),
• the Facebook page (115 likes)
• the LinkedIn Compressive Sensing group (3428) or the Advanced Matrix Factorization Group (1100)
• blog announcements are also featured on my twitter handle among other things;

Reference pages include The Big Picture in Compressive Sensing and the Learning Compressive Sensing page as well as the Advanced Matrix Factorization Jungle Page, the Highly Technical Reference Pages - Aggregators.

  There are also 

• These Technologies Do Not Exist, 
• CAI: Cable And Igor's Adventures in Matrix Factorization, and 
• the Reproducible Research page

Finally, the Paris Machine Learning Meetup

• Meetup Archives (featuring more than 100 slides presentations and videos -season2 and 3-)
• Meetup.com to register (there are 2945 members, it is the largest ML meetup outside the US, top 3 worldwide in terms of region), 
• LinkedIn to post jobs (947),
• Google+(271) 
• Facebook (93 likes)
• Twitter (388 followers)
