Featuring Ivan Trembow's Self-Important, Random Rants on Mixed Martial Arts, Video Games, Pro Wrestling, Television, Politics, Sports, and High-Quality Wool Socks

 
In-House Notes--- At the beginning of every month, I list the ten countries that have provided Ivan's Blog with the most page views in the previous month. This time around, I am also listing the top ten most-viewed articles on Ivan's Blog for the month of July.

I am able to do this because the statistical engine for Ivan's Blog compiles anonymous user statistics and tells me things like which web sites are directing visitors to my web site, and which countries people are in when they are loading Ivan's Blog.

Previously, the top ten countries for June 2005 were (in order from one to ten) the United States, Australia, Japan, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Brazil, and Singapore.

With the month of July coming to a close, France and Singapore have fallen out of the top ten, and have been replaced in the top ten by Norway and Sweden.

Another feature of the statistical engine is that it tells me which individual articles get the most page views. Here is a listing of the top ten articles for the month of July, with the Scientology and WWE Terrorism articles getting the most page views in a landslide.
