My dear readers, all 10 of you

June 11th, 2008

Dear readers,

Did you know that you can track how many visitors a Web site is getting each day and where they’re from and how they got to the site and all kinds of stuff like that? Well, I had an idea about that, because I’m married to a guy that sits at a computer 3/4 of his waking hours building Web sites, but now I’m actually getting into it. Sorry Steve.

So, what I’ve discovered is … there have been about 85 unique visitors to www.mommatimes.com. About 10 people a day check out the site. People from 25 different states in our country. And people from 8 different countries all together. Someone from Yemen once visited.

I think that’s really fun. Averaging 10 visitors a day is lot to me – I’m sure not to many bloggers. But really, I know two people that are Internet obsessive like myself that probably check regularly, and they are also very biased – my sisters. I know a lot of other people, including my husband, who get on occassionally, and catch up on what they haven’t read. So the fact that I have around 8 people everyday who aren’t a part of my immediate family that find my blog amusing/sad/weird/terrible enough to return everday is exciting to me!

It’s also interesting to see what posts have been read the most:

No. 1: “Sex and the City lives up to the hype.”

No.2: “Hello, Internet” (my first post)

No. 3: “Will it be David or David?” (American Idol)

No. 4: “The future is brighter”

Now, a couple of those are about current events/pop culture, so I’m guessing people stumbled upon my site while reading everything they could on those subjects. The other two, I have no idea why those would be well read. The last one is more recent so maybe they’re was more of a following, but then there was my first post. Maybe my husband has some sort of Internet knowledge that explains this phenomenon.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this information with my loyal readers. I appreciate every single one of you. All 10 of you.

    What do you use to track your readership? I use statcounter.com on Two Curly Tails, which gives me a lot of info. But I have yet to figure out who some of my regular visitors are. It’s fun when I update, though, because blogger puts links on its front page to recently updated blogs. A couple times when I’ve made it up there, I’ve gotten hits from all over the world. Most people didn’t stay long, but it was fun nonetheless!

    Keep up the good work. As one of your 10 regular readers, I love Momma Times!
