Our Long Tail

Frequency a page is viewed (as a percentage of total views) vs. pages (ordered by frequency); data taken over the last 90 days. I guess there’s something to this “long tail” stuff after all.

    It would be interesting to see how this fits with the modified Zipf’s law distribution predicted in “Zipf’s Law Unzipped”: http://arxiv.org/abs/1104.1789

    This says that a log-log plot should be approximately linear with a gradient that can be calculated from three parameters: the total number of page views, the number of pages, and the number of views of the most-viewed page.
