Traffic picking up

Tuesday Sep 7th 2004

I scan my web logs from time to time, and noticed that this blog has now had a significant jump in web traffic since September started. Many of this new traffic comes from Connecticut residents. I mean yeah, there’s California people who routinely read this also, but the Connecticut traffic is what I notice most. It’s neat when the locals read my random muse.

This local traffic is interesting because there are some people out there who are visiting this site that simply don’t like me. Some really don’t like me, but that’s ok because you can’t please everyone. I personally find it rather amusing that people who have openly admitted their disgust for me read this blog almost daily. That’s fine because it gives this site free web traffic and better search engine rankings every single time they visit. Yay for me (grin).

It makes me wonder, what is the attraction to read this site if one doesn’t care for me? Is it curiosity, like a train wreck where you don’t want to look but you have to? Is it some insatiable desire to peek inside my head? Well whatever it is, I guess I’ll never know. That’s ok. I don’t write my muse here for anyone but myself.

At the start this site, this site maybe got a few unique “hits” a day. In its fifth month, this site now gets 50 unique hits (on average) per day, from all over the country, such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Connecticut (duh), California, Massachusetts and many others.

To those who don’t know, 50 uniques a day to a blog-site is actually quite good. [edit due to bad math] This is a combined total of around 200 hits a day.

I never knew so many people liked to read what I write. Guess that gives me a reason to continue to do it. :-)
