After the story about the Gulf News today it appears more people are reading this blog than I though. I mean, not that's there anything wrong if only our cousins, aunts, friends and parents read the blog. But now it got me to wondering just how many people are checking this out every day ...
So I've added a counter to the page, you'll see it in the right-hand column, underneath the ads. It looks like this:
As for how many people have read this since August, well, I have no idea. I checked our Apple iTunes account and they say we've had 30,936 "impressions". Somehow I doubt that almost 31,000 people have visited this page over the last five months, so it must take into account multiple ads per page into "impression". So lets say we have eight Apple iTunes ads on this page right now, for every one viewer we're getting eight impressions.
So instead of 30,936 viewers, we have something in the ballpark of 3800 readers. Over twenty-four weeks that's something like twenty-three readers a day. Still sounds high, but who knows? Maybe we're more popular than we thought ... |
