So… when I published 6 new translated articles on September 25th and published a list of links on my Facebook page, google analytics shows that the typical noise of cca 30 “visits” on my website per day increased to 56, 94, 84 during the next three days, and then dropped to the usual noise level again. The values for “unique visitors” are almost the same, and the values for “pageviews” are cca 30% higher.
I am not sure I interpret this correctly, but seems to me that this suggests over 140 people, most of them reading only one of the articles. Assuming it’s not the same person each three days, which would make the worst case of 64 people, reading two and half articles on average. So, let’s just round it to 100 people.
Actually, that doesn’t seem so bad...
(Note: My complaint about “no feedback” meant that when I started publishing the first translations, some people spontaneously sent me messages on facebook, asked questions, and two of them came to the local meetup. That was when I started doing this. During the following half of the year, there was no other activity of this kind. I kind of hoped that doing this would translate to at least one new person per month coming to a meetup.)
Hah, I completely forgot about that! Thanks!
