- joelhaasnoot 15y agoAh, face palm: it's currently on the Google Homepage and the US hasn't really woken up yet...
- wgx 15y agoBut the UK's been awake all day (it's 3:12pm) - so very surprising that it's only generated 180k visits. Maybe most people simply don't click the Google Doodle? Seems strange.
- abelsson 15y agoIt only presents stats for entire days, so it'll show today's hits tomorrow (it updates an hour or so after midnight GMT).
- ErrantX 15y agoYes, there will be many more hits for the next days stats. Random example: http://stats.grok.se/en/201108/Pierre_de_Fermat http://stats.grok.se/en/201108/Pierre_de_Fermat That doodle was from Aug 17 2011 - 2.3M hits
- rplnt 15y agoDoodle doesn't point directly to the wikipedia article. It only does search for the name. Wikipedia being the first result gets a lot of traffic but there obviously isn't 100% CTR.
- notatoad 15y agomost people go to google because they're looking for something. that something isn't typically the subject of the google doodle.
- nhoss2 15y agoHey maybe someone should do a graph over time on this
- abelsson 15y agoIt's been on my todo-list for a long time to make stats.grok.se into something more useful and present more info there - for example graphs over (longer) times. Also the design is a bit dated. :) I do have about three years worth of Wikipedia article traffics stored, so I could do long term tracking and some interesting data mining, but I keep getting side tracked into other hobby projects.
- superted 15y agoI am curious, how do you get access to Wikipedia statistics?
- alexmuller 15y agoThere's a lot of information made available at http://stats.wikimedia.org/ http://stats.wikimedia.org/
