I want to measure the effects in total traffic (views or visitors) of a single URL across a time frame.

For example, let's say I published a blog post on July 2012. I want to measure what chunk of the site's total traffic is coming to this particular post on a month-by-month graph from July 2012 to date.

Is there a way to do this?

Edit: I should clarify that what I'd like to do is to generate a month-to-month graph, similar to the one you can see comparing a metric on a period of time against the previous equivalent period (year vs last year, for example) but comparing a particular URL traffic to the site's total traffic.

In other words, I can get to the part where I can see the URL's traffic for the timeframe I selected and it shows how much of the total traffic corresponds to the current URL:

Pageviews for a particular URL

But I'd like to add a second line to the graph, representing the site's total pageviews, similiar to this (but this one is showing just a different metric for the same URL):

Pageviews vs Bounce Rate for a particular URL, but can I compare against site's total pageviews? *cue mistery music*

Thanks!
