site meter

Well we've broken the 200 visitors mark!!! HUZZAH! thats a big deal for someone whose never had their own blog before. Admittedly most of those hits we're probably from me and my mother...but still, i'm excited ok! So after breaking this new record of mine, i thought i'd find out a bit more about where all these hits were coming from, so i added a site meter. Then i realised ,y site meter wasnt actually recording anything...sigh. So i tryed again, and HOORAH! This time it worked. However, never having used a site meter before, it was a tad confusing to begin with. After much head scratching i eventually worked out what all these statistics where about and what they meant for my site. Turns out that most of the visitors to my page come back again! Thats a good sign, right? I also found that the majority of people leave my site by clicking on the links i've provided, so there's some interest in the topics i post, another good sign. However, the traffic through my blog is a little slow, so i began to question how i can increase the traffic flow...other than by telling all my friends to go to my site. So i took a look at a feature of Bravenet (my site meter host) and attempted to increase my traffic flow. Well the results are yet to be tallied as i only tried this recently, but we'll see what happens, and watch the hit counter intently.
So wish me luck! And tell your friends to check out this site.
