August on this blog

Once again, a look at the stats for this blog. As ever earlier stats can be found at the pages for February, March, April, May, June and July.

First off the sites most people come from:

1. Google (+2)
   
2. Mars Hill (-1)
   
3. Blogger.com (-1)
   
4. Jo Salmon (+2)
   
5. Cally's Kitchen (-)
   
6. Cllr Iain Lindley's Diary (NEW)
   
7. Dizzy Thinks (NEW)
   
8. Antonia Bance (+2)
   
9. Conservative Mind (-)
   
10. Ulster Young Unionist Council (NEW)

Dropping out of the top ten altogether are The Vented Spleen (at 13, down 9), Take back the voice (at 20, down 11) and My Yahoo! (disappearing altogether).

True to her word, Jo Salmon has finally ended the impression that she was going to relocate to number 6 permanently!

Then we have the top ten search engine requests that brought people here:

1. tim roll-pickering (+1)
   
2. laura blomeley (+5)

8. matthew taylor mp news of the world (NEW)
   
9. cakebread london east end (NEW)
   
10. sm postal area mitcham (NEW)

As ever a mixture of brand new terms and some ongoing ones. Some of the sillier other terms include:

• dig the tunnels for crossrail
  
• "silliest search"
  
• "west european air services" lembit
  
• radley college a level results 2006

In case anyone's wondering, I never expected someone searching for anything about Radley to come this way.
