As of lately I've been looking at my current stats, seeing what posts have generated traffic and which posts have generated more traffic then others. I have decided to do some weeding and pruning of my blog... cleaning it up a bit so that I can generate traffic through the posts I would like for people to see and delete some posts that were generating traffic but posts that actually took away from my overall message on this blog. And well, I kinda needed a new look as well. I hope that I can continue to make improvements on this blog and also in my writing.
I can remember a conversation I had with my brother over the phone last year. He was voicing his opinion about the blog and the fact that he didn't want me to be so personal on my blog. The truth is, I'm not really all that personal on my blog and well, it is my blog and so I can kinda write what I want on this blog and if people like what reading what I have to write then that's just fine and if they don't like reading what I write then they can choose not to visit my blog again. In that conversation he noted that there aren't many people who leave comments and since there aren't anybody who leaves comments, or there is a relatively few comments then that must mean I don't have much of an audience so then why bother writing.
There are many reasons why I write and to get rich and famous is not a motive of mine. I write because I enjoy writing and I enjoy keeping up with this blogging. I also enjoy reading the blogs that other people write. You can see just off to the side the blogs I follow and enjoy reading. As I began to look through stats on my blog I have been pleasantly surprised by what they show.
The largest audience my blog reaches are folks in the United States and next to the United States my second largest audience is Canada. Third would be from the United Kingdom, India, Singapore etc
So to date here are my total number of visits since I published my first post a number of years ago...
United States - 7, 002
Canada - 3, 103
United Kingdom - 630
India - 390
Singapore - 357
Russia - 218
Netherlands - 207
Germany - 202
Australia - 187
Philippines - 72
Just the other day I receive 22 visits from the United States, 9 visits from Singapore, and 7 visits from Canada, there were even 2 visits from Indonesia as well and then visitors from Dominican Republic, Netherlands, and Taiwan. I love all these Nations I really do! And I am so glad that we are able to speak a message and have that message heard on an international level really. I'm just a writer/blogger on a faith journey. I wanted to take the time to thank my readers for their continued support by dropping by and reading what I have to say. I would love to hear from my readers every once in a while. If you would much rather send me a message anonymously you can feel free to send me an e-mail. Whether you e-mail me or comment anonymously or add me as your friend on facebook or not I'm just glad to see you come visit me on my blog.
If you have any questions, any comments then you can feel free to e-mail me or find me on facebook and add me as your friend. I know this is risky... very risky. I like to take risks :)
