If the "save my honor" minimum for unique visits to the blog is 20K, then by that standard, June was a stellar month. I ended up with over 55K views (55,130), or 1,837 views per day. Yeah, yeah—divide that in half to account for bots, I know. But that's still pretty good for me and my small-fry blog. Yesterday, July 1, was almost 2K, but today, we've gone back to being flaccid, and I'm currently a little above 150 visits at a little past 6:30 p.m. It's funny how, when you're riding a wave, you start to expect a certain number of views. Days like today, though, are a humbling reminded that this blog ain't all that, so I shouldn't get greedy. We'll see what the rest of July brings.
I know you are not on most social media, but do you ever link to your blog on other forums, like the comments at Instapundit? This is a great place to visit with a kaleidoscope of content to enjoy daily, but how do strangers find you? If I recall, I discovered your Hairy Chasms from another blog (Marmot's Hole?) fifteen years ago or so. Still enjoying the ride!
ReplyDeleteI'm on some sort of blacklist at Instapundit, so I can't leave links or pictures in the comments without having my comment automatically trashed ("placed in moderation," but effectively trashed). I occasionally leave my blog's URL, using [dot] instead of a period when I write the URL. It doesn't seem to generate any extra traffic when I do that. When I was experimenting with Reddit, I left links to my book, but never to my blog, mainly because most people on Reddit are left-liberal whackos.
