La blogosfera con blogalia (Oct 03 2003 23:56 GMT) - Ya habl de de la blogosfera sin blogalia en mi bitcora de barrapunto, llegando a la conclusin de que ms o menos, en cuestin de visitas, no se haba enterado. Pero haba que esperar hasta que volviera, para ver si efectivamente haba sido as. Bueno, pues no ha sido as. Aunque habra que corregir los datos con toda una semana, o al menos varios das, para eliminar fluctuaciones diarias, lo que se ha notado inmediatamente, del martes a ayer, es una subida de 2000 visitas en las bitcoras cuyas estadsticas estn en Nedstat. Y en cuanto al ajuste, mi interpretacin es que las bitcoras con menos visitas, que son las que ms influyen en el ajuste, han aumentado. |
