September 2020 Blog Statistics

This month the twentieth falls on a Sunday. Which means I’m writing this blog stats post while my kids are napping.

Over the past month I wrote five blog posts:

• Preview SVG Files in Windows Explorer with Microsoft PowerToys
• GitHub Actions: Tag Page Generator for Jekyll Blogs
• August 2020 Book Reading List
• My First Android App: Tagger for Amazon Associates
• Using a Threat Matrix for Decision Making

AdSense

I have less than ten bucks to go to be able to cash out of my AdSense earnings. It’s only been, what, five years since the first post on this iteration of my blog?

• Balance → $91.19
• Estimated earnings → $2.72
• Impressions → 1,415
• Clicks → 9

Moz Stats

I’ve changed the name of the heading of this section and added Moz Linking Domains as a stat. I was able to get historical data from Moz and add it to my blog stats spreadsheet.

• Moz Domain Authority → 30
• Moz Linking Domains → 525
