Happy 40,000 to me!!!!!!

Today my blog staistics - as supplied by Google and excluding any time I look at my own posts - passed 40,000. This is in a little under three years and no bad from a slow start.

It is interesting to see what and how is driving these statistics.

The most popular posts, as measured by page reads, are:- 

How to build gravitas - practical advice 6 Jan 2011
Further advice of developing gravitas 17 Mar 2011
Something of an internet blindspot?? What is a Tos... 17 Sep 2012

While the the readership comes from around the world
 

   United States              26397

   United Kingdom          8143

   Australia                        533

   Canada                           388

   Russia                            379

   India                              278

   France                           239

   Germany                       232

   Singapore                      164

   Netherlands                   142

Interestingly I guess a lot of this traffic comes from the fact that my posts come us #1 or #2 for a few Google serach phrases. These include:-

 

   "develop gravitas"

   "toshin funds"

   "rowing analogies"

 

I think the lesson or moral is to find some more Google-topping post titles! I wonder where the stats will be in another three years?
