Day 786: Astounding Readership Growth

So, a few months ago I posted a dumbfounded entry regarding how much web traffic our blog has been generating… what I thought had been a readership of about five people turned out to be a lot more.


And now?  Well… I am even more dumbfounded and wanted to take a moment to share and thank everyone for being so dang loyal to SchutzHappens!


It’s pretty amazing.


Month Total Visits Page Loads
May 235 372
June 352 466
July 373                     539
August 393 742
Sept (as of Sept. 12) 200 266


Based on the number of individual visits vs page loads, you guys aren’t just coming to read the hot latest happenings of the day; at least some of you are sticking around to read some archived posts.


And based on September’s numbers already, I am pretty certain we’ll break August… and the growth in readership astounds me.  


Granted, I’m not completely delusional… this growth could be attributed to a few different things:


1.  Our loyal readers of stopping by more often.  (Which is awesome!)


2.  New people are finding out about us (Which is also awesome!)


3.  Or, my mom has figured out how to find SchutzHappens and is constantly clearing her history and revisiting to make me feel good about myself.  (Which would also be awesome. Thanks mom!)


Really, there is no way of knowing.


In any case… I’m a happy man… I just need to all to stick with me for another eighteen years… I’ll need someone to buy my books when I retire!

I'm wondering if these counts also include followers on RSS feeds too.

Good question. No, it doesn't. The system I use only counts page loads and ip addresses. RSS feeds, to the best of my knowledge, bypass what would be considered a page load. So… there really is no telling!
