On the whole, a rather depressing month. Once again, I'll blame Billy Joel's drop in Google appeal. Roughly 350 of the 500 pageviews I lost came from posts about him. Add to that another ~120 drop in pageviews of my monthly archive files, and you've explained most of the change. The rest involve topical posts (e.g., Steven Wright's jokes, politics, Al Gore's movie, etc.) that got some interest right away and then faded. Clearly, I have three options: 1) find another "Google bomb" like Billy Joel, 2) consistently write witty, compelling topical posts all throughout the month, or 3) get over myself. I'll let you know what I decide...
On the (very small) upside, the viewers I did get stayed longer and viewed slightly more pages on each visit. So at least there's that...

Considering my web usage, and my tendency to use a half-dozen different Internet connections a day, has it occurred to you yet that I personally am causing a large chunk of your monthly variance?
Anyway, all that isn't caused by Google bombing. I generally don't find you via search terms.

Well, 72% of my traffic comes from search engine referrals. And if I use the geo-location stats, I see that in the month of June, 32 pageviews came from Reston, VA, with another 4 from nearby Alexandria and another 2 from (even nearer-by) Ashburn.
There are another 20 from Philadelphia, although I know for a fact some of those aren't you, and none that I can see from anywhere near Atlantic City.
So given what I know about "Where's Jeff," my estimate is 40-50 pageviews from you in the month of June.
How did I (read: Google Analytics) do?

Dude, if I let my browser history extend back for the past month, I'd have to carry around an extra hard drive to store it.
