I have learned not to obsess about stats. When I set up my first website www.snowbizz.com I was immediately interested in “hits” as a sign of how many people were looking at my brilliant contributions to the Internet. It was a fraction of today’s fractional viewership. Since then I’ve learned that viewers can mean robots scoping out websites for a lot of unknown actors who survey the Internet like a gunslinger walking into a saloon.
Until the last few weeks I’ve only rarely looked at my stats through the covid years because I’ve had other things on my plate than winning over eyes. But I’m preparing to contribute more on lincolndemocrat in the coming election year. To that end I’ve been heartened to see some nice bumps when I add blog posts that somebody other than a Robot gunslinger wants to check out. Look at my stats for December 4th. Four posts generated 21,000 pages. I’ll admit I don’t really know what that means. The number of “visits” hasn’t increased that much……but then again I’m not really sure after 14 years of managing this blog what a “visit” constitutes. And both of them are different than the “hits” I used to obsess about. I simply like the idea that posting four posts generated more views.
I will break my morning posts down into separate fairly short categories and then go on to what I’m really trying to do today…..write a book or books for next year. I spent a lot of time this spring doing that but eased off as I prepared to travel to France and picked up my french language and turned to organizing the papers I need to find quickly and efficiently for the contents of said unwritten books.
So, the next couple posts will go on to talk about the things I’ve been doing and why. Its my birthday today and I’ve started my eight decade on Earth. I hope to add at least two more beside the Eighth to my life before my mind shuts down.
