visitors – Catharsis of the Bogue

Man has it been an exciting day in Blogistan! For some reason, my blog blew up today! For the past few months I have been hoping every day to beat 72 visitors. That was the most people that visited my site according to the Count Per Day plugin. I have been running that one since I started. StatPress always shows a few more but it isn’t as pretty.

So I have been getting in the 60’s most of the time. Today, I had 93 visitors when I checked 20 minutes after my latest post. And it has just gone higher and higher. At the time I wrote this, 2130 MDT (GMT-7), there were 218 visitors and almost 1100 pageviews! That is TRIPLE what I have been getting. I can only hope that this blog is catching on and this will be normal!

Sorry to brag like that but holy crap I am excited! According to the calendar, I am just a week and a half away from my 3 month mark. I hit a slight stumble of writers block after the Pre-Writing challenge but I am still going strong. I am still planning my ebooks and fiction posts and where to go forward.

With help from Mike CJ I am working through the Beginners Guide to Blogging (look for a post on that soon) and will be pushing more and more things the right way. I can’t be stopped.

Beware all of you who think that I will be giving up because I will still be here pumping out content and promoting. I hope my traffic will continue like this, I can see that it ended up with 251 views and 1244 pageviews. That is far an above anything I have done up to now. That is over half of the visitors that I had last WEEK!!

Enough from me now. Thanks for reading and making my blog a success! I would love to hear from you in the comments section below, can never have enough comments! You can also sign up for my mail list, I am blitzing this week to get some subscribers!

Thanks for being here!

Hello all. You will notice that this post is somewhere close to 7 hours later than I usually post. It has been, as the title suggests, a long day. I am not just trying to complain. I could do that. But I won’t. I did however learn how to take apart my laptop and get the punch out of it. Presidents Day and the kids home from school do not necessarily make for the writing time bliss that I have allocated for a normal day.

Suffice it to say, I have post ideas now but no posts written. Yet another reason to join the Pre-Writing Challenge! We are beginning February 19th and will be going for a month in order to have 2 weeks worth of posts prewritten. See my page Here for more info. Would have come in handy for today as it would have on Friday!

So this brings me to today’s post. I have been debating the virtues of taking the weekend off. This weekend I scheduled some tweets to go out on Saturday for my fiction posts and then I didn’t get back on the computer for much of anything! It was kind of nice, not chaining myself to my laptop but I have hardly any traffic to show for it.

This may not be a bad thing. The good news is that I actually had traffic for 2 days with hardly any promotion. Not much traffic, mind you but some. That is the first step to becoming one of the big bloggers I think. Getting traffic without doing anything. Of course if I don’t do anything during the week my blog will fade and I will turn into nothing but a statistic; one of the failed bloggers.

I still am not going to post on Sunday. I am still going to post fiction on Saturday and put out e-books of said fiction when they are all out there. I will have some posts to post when I have issues with life. I was beginning to question whether it was worth posting or commenting on the weekends. It may be. I don’t think I will be doing anything different though.

If you are reading this Thank you! I will have more tomorrow at a more reasonable time. And it will be about hitting things.
Justin
