Topic: Rambling Rumminations
This here blog does not have a whole lot of visitors. It is, no doubt, among the millions of "also ran" efforts. Nonetheless, it does get read, often by accident. There are even a few regulars, though I cannot really say who they are. On the other hand, thanks to the folks at StatCounter, I do know where they are. Those two in Australia, for example (although I can make an educated, albeit hopeful guess about one of them!). Or the reader in New Hampshire, and another in Virginia. At first I thought them to be bots - the automated spiders of search engines and the likes. Until I made the effort of tracking IP addresses - always a telltale sign.
Not to worry, I still don't know any identities, and frankly, I am just thankful that they do read and do occasionally return.
Far more mind-boggling, though, are the searches in which this blog surfaces. A single word, buried deep in something I wrote ages ago, will turn up in an arcane search metaphor in Hungary or Hong Kong; the fact that I once used the term "teenager" brings some of the more salacious web hunters to my virtual desk. And while the majority of visitors does come from the US of A via one portal or the other, I suddenly find unearned popularity in the Czech Republic or Greece.
Maybe I should write more? what do you think?
