Whoever visited from “sugartown-162.camtel.net (216.84.141.65)”, you were my 50,000th “unique visitor” (excluding, as far as possible search engine crawlers and myself) since I started keeping track around the end of March 2005.
Thanks. Now I can stop checking Statcounter daily, as I have for the past several days. 50,000 “unique pairs of eyeballs” (insofar as the technology available to me can determine) isn’t all that much, I know, and, given the best info I have, translates to somewhere between seven and eight times as many “hits” in that time frame. Still not a huge number.
But, it’s certainly more than I would have expected, given the often iconoclastic, irascible, and sometimes downright weird nature of this blog. (Did I say weird? But one contrast will suffice: what other blog do you know that would feature not only Mohammed in a pink dress but regular rails against every damn politician to pollute the air with their existance, appeals to read Chesterton and Wodehouse and a recipe for mock haggis? I rest my case.)
So, back to my regular schedule of “everything AND the kitchen sink” and about this time next year, I’ll start wondering how many folks have actually dropped by.
Thanks for all the fish.
Woa, 50K unique pilgrims for your amazing spectacle of iconoclasm.
That kinda rocks.
And how many followers did Muhammad have in his first year or so?
Well, even I know thart some of those “uniques” are revisits from folks who’ve cleared their browser caches, cookies, etc. Heck, if I had allowed Statcounter to include my own visits, I’d likely have reached 50K uniques in six months (cos Opera clears my caches/cookies every time I exit, on my instructions).
Of course, exclusing “me” also means that son/daughter/wife who log onto my blog from this network aren’t counted, either.
I figure the 50K is about as close to an accurate count as I can get.
Te other games in “town”?TTLB and Technorati?are even less accurate in what they count for various reasons, but what can one expect from freebie games?
Stats shmats..hooz countin anyways?..lolz
well I may not be a “unique” visitor accordin to some comp proggie
