Friday was the seventh anniversary of my blog. Thank you for visiting.
Blogger has
tracked an average of several hundred pageviews each month over the last year,
with a significant increase over last year, especially since March, despite the
fact that I posted fewer times than last year.
Although the blog hosts’ tracking service is not as specific as
StatCounter’s, and does not always capture every pageview that the latter does,
it does capture a much higher net number of pageviews because it tracks those who use
blocking programs, unlike StatCounter.
As I have posted before, I suspect more people are using such programs
than before. Although Blogger captures
only more general information than StatCounter, I can see the entry website and
sometimes even see the queries searched, which allows me to deduce that the
visits are not necessarily spam, but are from real people. On both trackers, unlike before, most of the
queries are encrypted.
I can theorize that at least some
of the increase in traffic since March was because of my political campaign,
which was also especially noticeable in the General Election from
StatCounter’s tracking, but I can see from Blogger that all posts were visited,
some of them dozens of times, with the most hits for posts not related to the
campaign. In addition, like StatCounter
also tracks, several of the older posts continue to be visited.
As always,
I especially appreciate those who follow my blog, visit repeatedly, post my
blog posts to other websites or comment.
I also appreciate the compliments I receive offline. Please feel free to ask questions or make
suggestions and please continue to visit.
Again, thank you.
