In an effort to do as Krista does at Londonelicious (but without snazzy graphics because I’m a technologically-challenged moron that way), here’s my summary of September 2008 stats for this blog.
I had 15,786 page views last month, and over the last 30 days, my top five blog-only (i.e., not google or other “regular” website) sources of traffic were:
Londonelicious (by far my biggest source of traffic from a blog)
The Thoughtful Dresser (a fun and smart read, so give it a try even though it’s nothing to do with food)
Gourmet Chick (many thanks for linking to my posts on Russia and even trying out one of my recs)
Tasty Treats (whom many of you know as Charmaine Mok, an increasingly-prolific TimeOut reviewer)
New Yorker in London (not entirely a food blog, but that’s what’s fun about checking Tara’s blog)
Thanks to the wonderful bloggers above who bring me traffic, and of course, thanks to all of you for reading and commenting.
Ah, I’ve inspired at least one! I’ve been very impressed (and envious) by Gourmet Chick’s travels. Dying to know what she does for a living…
I am a lawyer! (As I think American in London is) although sadly all my salary is spent on food and travel…
Me too – if MTV Boyfriend can’t make it on any of those trips I’d be happy to take up the role!
Sorry I haven’t brought you much traffic recently, but you’ve brought me loads last month, so thank you!
Hmm, I seem to have drawn the lawyer readers out of the lurker shadows. Excellent.
Gourmet Chick, your puncutation suggests a lot of enthusiasm for the profession. : )
Hi Helen, no apologies needed. : ) Keep up the fun and interesting blogging. Our blogs have a lot of overlap (even more than just the appearance), no?
Punctuation was meant to suggest the fact that my job is not as glamorous as Krista may have been imagining… Thanks for linking to me as well (and of course for the Russian tips).
Glad to hear my blog is able to send some traffic your way! (Yours, by the way, is my largest source of blog-directed traffic, so thanks to you as well.) And I’m so glad you enjoyed the Garrison (those seats are awfully uncomfortable, I agree) because that’s one of my favorite places. I live very nearby, so if you’re ever in the nabe again and want to meet up, let me know!
New Yorker: if the weather is sunny (big if this time of year, no?), I poke around the South Bank pretty frequently, so yes, I’ll shoot you an email next time I’m in the Shad Thames nbhd. [Actually, I'll be there this evening for a work 'do at the Pont de la Tour.]
