Yeh, Yeh. Blatant begging combined with an open trackbacks post for The Open Trackback Alliance (check the blogroll in my left sidebar).
Here’s the OTA and other Open Trackback stuff, but do stick around for my bleg, wouldja?
Also note the other fine blogs featuring linkfests at
Linkfest Haven.
OK, here’s the bleg: I am less than 200 unique visitors from my goal of reaching 50K unique visitors by the time my first year with Statcounter rolls around. That’s adding the stats from the Blogger TWC to the stats for this TWC. Now, I know lotsa folks like to count page loads and others like to count hits, but I’ve had well over 30,000 hits just here in the last three weeks, and so counting hits would be less cool, as I look at it. Your mileage may vary–different strokes and all that.
What I’m primarily interested in is unique eyeballs, as best as Statcounter can determine it, excluding my visits and search engines crawling, etc. 50K is still on the low end of unique visitors for a year with blogs that have the high quality links in I have been strangely blessed with, but at least it means those unique eyeballs are also of a higher quality than some really active blogs get.
(Rabbit trail: I am fequently both amazed and humbled by the fact that, although my comments sections aren’t full to overflowing like some blogs, the quality of the people posting is always a notch or two above my own posting. I like that.)
So, here’s the bleg: wouldya ask your readers to push me over the edge top in my search for 50K unique eyeball pairs by the end of this week? That’d nring me in at my lil goal about a half a month ahead of target.
It’s no biggie, cos stats are only a very minor indicator of, well, anything to me. My main goals remain: silence the voices in my head and (something that’s grown on me) appreciate the readers that come back for some reason. 🙂
Blegging at Basil’s, as soon as he gets the picnic basket ready for Wednesday where the ants are already on the march at the picnic, and at Diane’s Stuff as soon as she gets her OTA post up where Lady Diane “splains” an important feature of Windows… (SOOOOO glad you’ve got your blog back and running, Lady Diane!)
TY TY David! I forgot until I sent this as a trackback to put his fix for pings/trackbacks in- hee hee. Now I’ll have to post again so I can make sure it’s working 😉
