most popular site sections Tim quickly put together this breakdown of page views by site section which are the areas listed at the top of the data site. The percentages in the table below refer to all pages under that section e.g. "Countries" means all country pages: Site Section Pageviews Indicators 45% Countries 20% Topics 8% Data Catalog 6% News / About / Developers / Products 4% The remainder of page views are accounted for by the home page - the microdata site and blog are tracked in different systems. OK, let's dig a bit deeper. How are the data distributed? I like to start exercises like this by drawing a picture and seeing what it tells me. Here's a bar chart of pages (x) against page views (y): Yes, that's plotted correctly. It's showing a "long tail" distribution - the highest page view value is 3.7 million (on the left) and the lowest is 177 - the linear y-scale is really not helping matters. Just looking at the graph though, if you rotated the vertical bit by 90 degrees about the origin, it would just about cover the tail - I'd estimate that around 50% of our page views go to the top 50 pages or so. Let's see what it looks like on a logarithmic scale: Now we're talking. As we expected, the huge range in the y-axis distorted the earlier chart, and we see that most pages on data.worldbank.org received less than 10,000 views per year. Importantly,
