Brainwagon Has No Daily Readers

February 28, 2005 | Blogging | By: Mark VandeWettering

I’ve noticed something which I sort of find surprising: this website has no daily readers.

I’ve been scanning the logs of all the people who come to my website, and by far the majority, probably 90% of all hits, come here via Google searches. Not from hitlists on websites, or directories, or anything else, but just people entering strange keywords which, by virtue of the eclectic nature of most of my posts, send them to brainwagon.

One unfortunate thing is that my statistics do not capture those who read brainwagon via RSS: statistics on those who access the RSS feed are not available from statcounter.com‘s statistics. Since I do make the entire text of my postings available in the RSS feed, perhaps all my regular readers are reading brainwagon via RSS.

I’ll have to do some more research in my log files to help figure that out.

Hi there!

Well, I am a daily reader, almost daily anyway.

So keep up the good work!

Hey, I’m a daily reader! What else would I do at work when waiting for compiles? I do read via RSS though.

I’m a regular reader of your feed, but I use the RSS version almost exclusively. Maybe you should redirect your RSS througha site like FeedBurner to gather those statistics.

“Me too”.

I read every article via an RSS aggregator (NetNewsWire). I only wish more people would “get it” and publish entire articles that way. (I likelikewise publish the whole thing via RSS).
