Happy Birthday To Me

Today, this blog is three years old. I’ve enjoyed it. Hope you have. It’s also that time where I look at some interesting stats. Here’s some:

Between 757,424 and 1,694,244 page views, depending on which stats package I go by.

Between 687,000 and 785,157 visits, depending on which stats package I go by.

6,242 Total Posts

763,217 Total Words

15,958 Total Comments (not counting lost blogspot comments)

921,183 Total Words in Comments (You guys write more than me.)

Only one commenter banned

Average of 1,075 or 2,608 visits per day, depending on which stats package I go by.

One opinion piece published in a newspaper.

Four different blog software packages.

13 mentions in dead-tree media (that I know of).

Cost of blogging $479.85

Money made from blogging (I’ve only been doing ads for a few months) $99.43 cash and one 90 round AR-15 magazine valued at $124. Total: $223.43.

Hacked once.

I won’t list top referrers as referral log spam has made referrer statistics almost completely useless. (update: and also explains the huge difference in page views between stat packages.)

Google rank: 6/10
