My Blog Is Displaying A Logarithmic Distribution?

Mental conceptions of the world can become a 'material force' in a double sense; they become 'objectified' in material objects and materialized in actual production processes. 
David Harvey, The Limits To Capital, p. 101

The Oracle of Ottawa is certainly not innumerate. As a matter of fact he has a very good grounding in numbers indeed! Due to security concerns there is no need to delve into any great detail. But suffice it to say that the said grounding in all things numeric has allowed the Oracle of Ottawa a much greater limit of freedom than an ordinary person. Why it is one of the main reasons he is now free to regale you with his near daily missives.

Damn logarithms are everywhere!!

Aside from the utter joy of seeing my verbal constructs in immediate print and marveling at my God gifted artsie limp wrist when it it comes to all things of effective graphic design, the Oracle of Ottawa realizes that he abounds in wealth of more than one kind. One of the most interesting places in the blog has become the Stats section. Some weird things are going on here that I have not seen mentioned in any math book that I have read lately. It appears that there are two very clear demonstrations of the logarithmic distribution at play

Logarithmic distribution....

The first one seems to appear in the top ten hits. I will list the articles by number as a percentage of the total hits of the whole blog....

Article 1 : 22.04%
Article 2 :   7.67%
Article 3 :   5.82%
Article 4 :   3.80%
Article 5 :   3.17%
Article 6 :   2.12%
Article 7 :   2.12 %
Article 8 :   1.96%
Article 9 :   1.60%
Article 10 : 1.40%

The conclusion? Well, from a total posting of 165 posts, the top-ten posts will amount for over half (!!) of the total hits of the blog! ( 51.70% exactly...)  To this blogger, that is rather extraordinary in deed! The second display of the log distribution resides in the top-ten viewing countries! I will list the top-ten countries by percentage of total blog views....

Canada :               59.27%
United States:       19.28%
United Kingdom:    2.93%
Netherlands:           2.21%
Singapore: (?)         1.71%
Germany:                1.17%
India:                      1.01%
Russia:                    0.88%
Australia:                 0.70%
France:                    0.61%

The conclusion here is that about 90% of your total blog views will come from just ten countries! ( 89.77% exactly..) Who ever said that doing math is boring? And a little "experiment" like this is essentially doing applied math... I am still amazed that the distribution is so logarithmic, I expected a much less pronounced or "flatter" distribution...Always look for yourself and always think for yourself!!

Don't believe me? Watch my buddy here, he backs me up nice....
