Happy 2015! Now that 2014 is complete, it's time for my annual post where I share data about Sean's Ramblings visitors and how people find this blog. I truly find this fascinating, and I hope you do too. The information below is courtesy of Google Analytics for January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014.
Top 10 Visitors by City:
1. New York, NY
2. Pittsburgh, PA
3. Chantilly, VA
4. Arlington, VA
5. Washington, DC
6. Deerfield Beach, FL
7. Los Angeles, CA
8. Owings Mills, MD
9. Chicago, IL
10. Johnstown, PA (Technically, just outside Johnstown)
I started tracking this data in 2009, and with the exception of the unusual amount of visitors from San-Ch'Ung, Taiwan in 2009, the combination of New York, Pittsburgh and Washington DC (not necessarily in that order) is always in the top 3. This year, DC slipped all the way to 5th. What's going on, DC? Do I need to write more posts about Metro or the DC blogging community?
London also fell out of the top 10 this year. I guess Will and Kate don't visit my blog as much as they used to with the new baby.
Remember, if your city is not in the top 10, visit my blog from multiple computers or mobile devices in 2015 early and often!
Top 10 Visitors by Country
1. United States
2. Canada
3. United Kingdom
4. Australia
5. Germany
6. Brazil
7. France
8. Philippines
9. India
10. Italy
While the top five countries are identical from 2013, I'd like to welcome Brazil to the top 10. Clearly, folks in Brazil looked to Sean's Ramblings for quality World Cup coverage like this.
Top 10 Keywords Used to Find Sean's Ramblings
1. Sean's Ramblings (or some variation of this)
2. Sally Wiggin Drunk
3. Sun Refining and Marketing
4. Talk Like a Pittsburgh Pirate Day
5. Don Cannon Drunk
6. Songs with Hawaii in the Title
7. Mark Melancon Singing Japan
8. Sean's Ramblings Daylight Savings
9. Delaware Hates Pitt
10. Erica Blasberg
These are almost completely different from last year where folks found Sean's Ramblings by questioning who is (or was) TJR, wanting Fleetwood Mac concert reviews, or, well, looking for something about Flavor Flav. In addition, I must have left out Sean's Ramblings from last year's list.
In 2014, people really wanted information about current and former WTAE newscasters being inebriated. Meanwhile, I'll have more about Sun Refining and Marketing and Erica Blasberg next week.
Thanks to all of you for visiting my blog!

It scares me that I visit frequently enough to end up on the top ten. Granted, there are posts when I will read them on my phone and want to comment, so I use my computer to comment, so that doubles the visits. Still though, I am borderline stalking...
Or I just enjoy your blog. Either/or.
Josh - It's quite possible that I have a huge following in your neighborhood. Seriously, I bet many of your neighbors visit Sean's Ramblings regularly. Monthly? A few times a year?
