If you wonder who reads my almost daily posts this may interest you.
I have captured the data from June 4th 2017 up to Jan 19th 2018. It is a much fairer picture than going back to inception in 2015 because early on there were a lot of spam visitors and then there was a month when there is no visitor data because I got a (computer) virus. The numbers are how often unique users have logged in to the website. First, by country.
And now by location. I will be handing out prizes later.
The comments on here are usually posted by men but I’d like to single out Gerrards Cross and Palo Alto slugging it out at 10/11. As you are two highly intelligent women I am surprised and flattered that you read so regularly. I have a bone to throw you, Palo Alto, our friend and guest blogger will be back here soon. And I have a bone for both of you – I hope that we will meet soon at a concert in London.
I’m pleased that the readership number is low. You are quality and I like that better than quantity.
Hopefully Gerrards Cross, who is a huge fan of the blog as we know, will be cheered by these figures as she is still not very well but looking forward to our visit when she is back to her usual bright and bouncy self!!
I don’t think I have missed a day since I first got hooked. And quite often, I look at the “related” historic posts. I don’t follow any other bloggers, though I often read random blog-writers who are on-point with something or other that I happen to be researching.
I think the appeal is that you chronicle a life very unlike my own (you holiday far more, eat out much more expensively, sit through concerts and opera, buy art, have investments to decide on). But there are similarities, too (perhaps especially walking in London, buying from s/hand bookshops, liking unmodern novels). Oh, and I too visit memorials, especially in churches. You give us some of your prejudices and opinions, but not too many or too strongly, and not too consistently either.
All in all, I am v glad to have discovered yr corner of the web.
I am not a numeral person and therefore find it difficult to draw conclusions from your facts and figures. The reality that you have considerably more followers in the US of A than your native Ireland is a little unsettling. I have endeavored to spread the word among (quality) acquaintances here in Ireland to ensure you have more followers from the land of your birth, but in order to aid this process we need more Irish material.
May I take this opportunity to thank you for much amusement and stimulation. The immense fecundity of your imagination has a profound impact in an, often uncivilized world. You also trouble yourself to courteously respond to many of your followers regularly. So often bloggers are so pedestrian that they neither credit nor condemn their devoted supporters.
What? No readers in Trim or County Louth ? ‘A prophet without honour….’and all that. I know the feeling.
