Google Analytics on Livejournal

I've been using Google Analytics with my Livejournal for a month now. It was my dream for years to be able to collect data on who visits my journal: what do they type into Google to find me? Which posts are most popular? Where are my readers from? Google Analytics tells you everything, even who on LJ is reading you, and who isn't. In that sense, Google Analytics is more effective than LJ Toys because as far as I can see it can't be blocked like LJ Toys, though maybe LJ Toys gives you more indepth info on LJ users (who don't know how to block it) whereas Google Analytics only tells you if they were there or not. LJ users who are not on your friends list don't get logged unless they read posts' comments - that's where LJ Guests comes in handy (if they are signed up for that, though.)

These are the top 10 searched terms that land on my journal:

1. "gerard butler"
2. james mcavoy
3. camera obscura the nights are cold
4. dance and drink
5. gay police
6. gerard butler
7. best gay
8. david o'hara
9. handsome gay
10. "james mcavoy"

No surprise then that my post popular post is this one from 10th April 2007, featuring hot hunks from Scotland that appear on the list above. The post got 97 unique visits in the past 30 days. The second most popular post was my review of Camera Obscura's new single that was released on May 17. No doubt people searching for a free MP3.

And here are some of the quirky search terms leading people to my journal:
