[QUESTION]: LessWrong web traffic data?

4 Post author: VipulNaik 07 July 2014 09:41PM

I remember that LessWrong used to track its web traffic through through SiteMeter, but it was removed in November 2013 due to issues. Historical data about LessWrong is still available through SiteMeter, but the data stretches back only 12 months. I'm not sure if the data October 2013 and earlier is reliable either. Still, it was something that anybody could access.

Cookie Checker shows that LessWrong is currently using Google Analytics to track traffic. Does anybody know who maintains the Google Analytics account, and whether the data can be shared? While I'm mainly interested in seeing the data for myself, others here might also be interested in it, so it might be nice if a public summary of visit and pageview counts could be shared.

Monthly lists of top posts or whatever would be fine and interesting things.

Vaguely related question: what's the infuriating vglink thing that makes it impossible to see where a link's going on mobile? Is there any way to mitigate that?
