It's 2008!! I hope everybody of you had a good start. Well, I've seen that many bloggers post some kind of roundup, by
summarizing the past year or by giving some stats. So I've decided to follow this habit - although I'm a little late. I
find stats interesting since they provide you some feedback about your blog visitors.

need always an interpretation, otherwise they're useless. Well, I have to say that I'm quite satisfied with the number
of visitors of this year. It is quite a nice number since I started this blog on February 2007. As can be seen from the
visitors overview, visits started to constantly increase since the last 4 months, which I hope will go on in this way.
A
nice point is that the number of visitors from search engines increased to a share of 1/3 (see traffic overview).
That's due to a better ranking of my blog in search results, mainly on Google.
Where I still have to work on is on
the visitor loyality and on the visit lengths. The situation is usually that people come to my blog from search
engines, the look at a specific post, find/or don't find a solution to their problem and then they leave the site
again. The number of visits and the duration is therefore quite short.
For the new year I plan to focus more on
programming issues. Possible topics could be on developing
Eclipse
RCP applications, ORM with
Hibernate,
Spring,
GWT,... I've still to see :) , usually I post things as they come me
in mind.
