The Counter

One of the most screwed up messes on the Internet. Much of it is good and many of the simplest counters are the best. But most will include anything that makes any kind of contact including robot hits. "Blogger" is notorious in that they are not capable of blocking anyone because it is public, whatever that means. The net result is that if you have a blog and someone is screwing up the works, there is nothing you can do about it.

This is my simplified version of the Stats on our Blogs based on the hits only.

Most of the columns are self identified. The name of the Blog, the initial hits and the ending hits for the month. The fourth column displays the different of the two figures and is the amount of hits on that blog for the month. The last column is the hits for the month divided by the amount of days in the month to give you the average number of hits per day. We have over diluted the readership. Yes.

Town Dancer has four Guest Authors. The others have only one. You can see the difference in the hits. The Two Centers and their contributions of photos and information make a big difference. Their frequency and recency of contribution will be proof beyond a doubt. A Guest Author blogging two or three times per month will send the hits up to the heavens and they will take over and make the first independent blog on Oahu.

At the end of August the total number of hits may be down farther and any blog in single digit average per day hits will be eliminated. No hits, No use. And it is imperative to know if you are just beating your gums. The good thing is that no VIP will be calling the shots, the reader/dancers will be the ones to decide. The entire enchilada depends on the reader/dancers of this Island. One last thing, Store Bought hits will never do you any good.
