Owners of websites and bloggers alike know the power of site
analytics. That’s the back end stats that tell you many people in Russia
have checked out your latest creation, from what referring site, using what
browser. Its fascinating stuff (no, really) and you can spend hours wading
through it (assuming you receive enough traffic to create the stats).
For the modest but elegant numbers of non-Russian visitors
to this here blog (and even for some of them) I’d like to clue you into some
other stats that are pretty significant. It seems like there’s a pattern
emerging in the streaming for certain tracks on the Hopkinsville Goblins
releases available on your favourite streaming services. Whether it’s the way
things are tagged bringing in specific music hunters, or whether people are
just previewing and choosing what they like on the fly, it seems like people
like streaming three tracks from Posts from Planet Earth together as a group
and then going onto their next trip. I don’t have the power to link the
streaming stats to country referring site or browser, but what I can tell you
is that people dig the three spaciest tracks on that album. And why not. It’s
the final frontier and we do aim to please.
So with that in mind, this page hooks you up to what the
most discerning Hopkinsville Goblins fans are streaming. Check them out, and if
you like them there are another 30 or so tracks you can peruse while you’re at
it.
PS Russian visitors really go for Amerikaemia. Not sure if
it’s because it’s a free download or because they actually like it. The stats
don’t go into that kind of detail. Yet. But I’m sure the great Goog is working
on it. And we’ll be watching. Because we all want to know what makes each other
tick. There’s a song percolating on that for the next Hopkinsville Goblins
product. More about that later.
