As of two days ago this blog exceeded the previous best years viewer & visitor numbers, and as of this minute those two metrics are still climbing. That’s incredible news! And all of this done without a single outlier spike in views driven by an outside source, link, or direction. This is from a modest but recurring daily visits from people around the world coming here to look at my stuff. While the downloads of my books are down comparatively, it isn’t all that far off. I’m just not driving traffic to my free downloadable books on a featured page. I would like to think that it would sort itself out, but I guess I should do more to plug them every so often. Not a problem.
So while I have not experienced that 1,500 person spike on one random day in July like last year that got my numbers well up in 2025, this year any growth whatsoever seems to be more organic in nature or people just finding older articles or posts on the reader, or following a Google search for something specific that they were after. While the thrill of a single day jump of four figures was amazing, a constant flow every single day feels pretty great too. So thank you! Thank everyone of you whom came to look, read, listen, and watch the items I have archived here from the last several years.
I’d love to wax poetic about this sort of WIN for hours on end, but I’m still plugging away at a large project and as such must focus on the fine details. No focus pulling allowed today, or tomorrow. Perhaps I can return to this subject once again soon. Though truth be told I will go on and on about it come late December, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for that! Ha.
Have a bodacious Thursday. Steer clear of the wildfire smoke if you can. It was supposed to sit lower today and act like fog/smog moreso than ever before. Wear an appropriate respirator if outdoors for prolonged periods of time today. I believe in you!
