Welcome to 2015. And now that midnight has passed, I can share some complete web site access data for the old year with you - from Google Analytics, showing the number of sessions per day though the year on various sites that we host / have an interest in ...

On many of the sites, you can see a distinct weekly cycle
It's interesting to note how the IT training site had a boost in traffic in about June time, co-inciding with some site work and course revamps and how that lead (after a quieter summer than I would have liked as far as training was concerned) to a rather busier time later in the year. Business always takes time to build and I can't be certain of the correlation, but I suspect there is some link. It actually got so busy at the end of 2014 that I even gave two days of training between Christmas and the new year, and I have a business meeting about training tomorrow - that's Friday 2nd January, and a course staring on Monday. Not the quiet start that we expect for most years, since people don't think ahead from one year to the next.
The First Great Western Coffee Shop forum site leapt in February, when the Dawlish Sea Wall got washed out, the railway over the Somerset levels got flooded, and there were other weather related problems with trains. Not an unexpected effect on a site that provides customer discussions. See the most popular discussions [here].
For the hotel - Well House Manor - you may wonder if I'm worried about a very low line with a few sharp spikes upwards. I'm not - the spikes are a feature of having appeared on the TV show "Four in a Bed" and they occur (and I hope will continue to recur) when the show is repeated. Our server is well robust enough to cope with this extra traffic, and it does us no harm and probably quite a bit of good - hard to know about that latter. We don't need a huge amount more traffic on this web site, as hotel room occupancy is at a high level and there's little point in generating a lot more interest in staying with us if it just results in people being turned away when they come to book because we're full.
