So who are you non commenting readers?
Again, I really don’t know that much about you. What I do know is what I get from two separate measurement services I employ. One of them is Site Meter. At the bottom of the screen there is Site Meter icon under the heading “Readership Stuff”. If you click on it anytime you can see nifty little charts like this one that show how many of you have visited Tales of Two Cities over the past twelve months.
That at least tells me that there are more of you now than there was a year ago.
I also use Google Analytics to see what you’re about. That measurement device tells me that, in the last thirty days, Tales of Two Cities had 3,485 “absolute unique visitors” out of a total of 7,590 visits. Over 1,500 of you have visited here more than 200 times. The top five cities you come from are Ellicott City (915), Columbia (692), Baltimore (533), Laurel (433) and Washington DC (420). The average time you spend here is 6:38 minutes.
Recently, another local blogger lamented about the lack of interest in local blogs. I disagreed with him. I think there is plenty of interest but not enough consistent bloggers. Out of the 17 more popular local blogs listed in the right side column only about 10 are posting with enough regularity to build any kind of audience. I get that. It isn’t easy keeping a blog active.
The bottom line is that I am grateful to all of you who visit here. Your growing number indicates to me that there is a ready audience for this kind of local stuff. As long you keep visiting I’m willing to keep dishing it up. The way I see it, we’re kind of in this together.
