Say it ain't so analytics!

Sadly, Google has failed me. For the past six or eight months I have been checking my Google Analytics account every week. Every week I've been saddened to see that I received 0-2 page views. For the better part of a year I have taken this to mean that my cherished readers had abandoned me. I believed this so thoroughly that I recently posted a message declaring those folks fickle friends.

As it turns out, even though I raised the quavering needle on the Loyal-Reader-Neglect-O-Meter from Shameful to Abominable, my circumstance has never been so dire as I was led to believe. I have been visited not by the paltry six or seven family members Google Analytics claimed, but by more than a hundred this month. Eighty-two in the last seven days as a matter of fact.

Huzzah for loyalty.

Boo-Hiss to my Analytics account.

How did I figure it out you ask. Mrs. Gordon is an interweb genius. That's how.

So, I'm sorry to all of my unreasonably loyal devotees. May you all receive Mad Props, or whatever it is the kids are handing out these days. I'll try to make this shadow of my former site more worthy of your attention.

Sincerely,

Gordon

  1. I love that when I come here I find an ad for Chinaberry and a copy of PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON right next to the comment window. :)

  2. I didn't know what Chinaberry was, but now that I do, I love it too. Great screen name by the way.

  3. I'd like to know what the "Loyal-Reader-Neglect-O-Meter" has to say about my blog. Where can I get one, and how much do they run?
