I thought it might be a fun exercise to realize how big the reader base is for my blog. Just exactly how many of you are there out there? Well it changes a little from month to month, but now I’ve got a solid three month’s data. I can confidently say that I have 85 addicts to this blog. That means 85 people check my blog over 200 times per month. Now this could easily be thrown off by RSS readers which are simply a piece of software that check the blog in real time (over 200 times per month). But there are definitely more latent readers as well. In the last 30 days there have been 186 people who have visited the site. This isn’t 186 hits, this is individuals. Not bad really if you think about it. This site started with 100 people who checked it within the month. Almost a 100% reader base growth; eat your heart out LA times online!!
Ok, I know probably much more than most people that that number could be inflated from people clearing their cookies, renewing their IP addresses and a dozen other reasons, but I like to see the trend changing. I like to see that people from 20 countries ( and 8 states in the US) are reading my blog as well. That’s fun. But don’t worry, I can’t track each individual with a unique identity, so you are still fully anonymous. I can just see the Macro level numbers (I Promise).
