Pushing Towards Number 250,000 Or Is That Number 500,000?
Got back from a little mini vacation yesterday and opened an email from my pal Woody. Seems we are getting close to our 250,000th visitor. But the Site meter doesn't tell the whole story so I'll put up a few Screen Shots courtesy of Snagit (which is a great program to have if you like grabbing screen shots). First, the Sitemeter stats:
As you can see, Sitemeter lists just short of 250,000 visits. This includes some from the old blogspot site, added to the old dot com site which is now this site where I moved my blog in early 2006. But Sitemeter, as good as it is doesn't measure everything, and you have to pay extra to get the big stuff listed.
With however, my mu.nu blog (see our guru Pixy Misa by clicking on the link) comes Awstats which is an even better stats program. here are the 2006 stats:
And the 2007 stats:
According to Awstats, I've had 79,643 unique visitors in 2006 for a total of 232,915 visits. In 2007, I had 66,894 unique visitors for a total of 235,104 visits. Now, together that would be 146,537 unique visitors for a total of 468,019 visits, or, pushing a half million visits in just over 17 months. Of course, I like Awstats numbers MUCH better. But, even if I didn't have all of that, I'd still have made an awful lot of friends via blogging that I'd not likely have made with out it, and I've enjoyed every moment of the almost three years of blogging.
On November 7th, this blog (including its previous iterations) will be 3 years old and I owe it all to you, my beloved readers and I am well aware that any blog sinks or swims by the readers that come and go. So, in preparation for my 250,000th or my 500,000th visitor thanks for all the fun.

Hard work, blogging is. The rewards are THIS...and the friends we make who are priceless.

GM,
Impressive stats! Congratulations!
I confess that I rarely check my stats. I guess that I more value the friends I've made while blogging.

Nicely done.
Now what's the prize for being the 500,000th visitor? I've got my finger on "reload..."

Congratualtions! And I love the way you presented it too. The stats like that are fun to read and say a lot about what is happening.
