The readership for the blog “Deborah Mends – Atelier Mends Art” has grown substantially over the past year. In January 2007 there were 68 visitors who came onto the site a total of 115 times, with somewhere between 3 and 13 visits daily.

In January 2008 there were 1,468 visitors who came onto the site a total of 1,956 times, with somewhere between 63 and 99 visits daily.

I discovered recently that we are also now in the Technorati repertory of great blogs – although I won’t be getting a swollen head over it – Atelier Mends is ranked as the 231,062th most interesting out of 50 million!

I apologize for the one small upcoming change related to our growth: we will have Google advertising. It seems that every click on an advertised link goes into Google’s accounting, and I hope in this way to cover the costs of maintaining the blog.

Thank you, readers!

La quantité de personnes qui lisent le blog “Deborah Mends – Atelier Mends Art” a augmenté d’une façon très importante depuis un an. En janvier 2007 il y avait 68 visiteurs sur le site pour un total de 115 fois, avec une fourchette entre 3 et 13 visites chaque jour.

En janvier 2008 il y avait 1 468 visiteurs qui sont venus sur le site pour un total de 1 956 fois, entre 63 et 99 visites par jour.

J’ai découvert récemment qui nous sommes maintenant dans le répertoire Technorati de bon blogs – néanmoins, je ne deviendrai pas trop gonflée – Atelier Mends est placé au 231 062ème rang sur 50 million !

Je vous demande pardon pour le petit changement suite à notre croissance, qui arrive prochainement : nous allons avoir de la publicité Google. Il paraît que chaque clique sur un lien de publicité va dans la comptabilité de Google, et j’espère de cette façon de couvrir les frais pour la maintenance du blog.

Merci, les lecteurs !

Congratulations! And maybe you should get a swollen head. Your rating means that you're the best out of the average 216 blogs, and overall better than 49,768,938 others. Bravo, Deborah!

Thanks Dennis! The number of visitors does keep increasing each month, so maybe I'll move up in the ranking to among the best 100,000!

Great Deborah - you are clearly doing something right. In addition to Dennis' calculation, I would point out that you are in the top .5% (.005) of all the blogs. Put into SAT terms, you are in the genius range.

I have NO idea how to get traffic. Mine bounces up and down. Right now, the Technorati is at 189,138 (#42), but it bounces up and down. Don't get down if it your growthy isn't linear. That said, congrats.

Well, believe me, I'm hanging on to my humility! So far so good - we'll see if it continues...

And despite sore temptation, you haven't pandered to the Sarko/Bruni attention-getting... (sorry readers, private joke!)

Congrats!

Congratulations! I never check the statistics on my blog, but I'm certain I'm in the bottom .5%. I like your horse and monkey drawings. Could there be a children's book in your future?

Posted by: Ted | Thursday, 06 March 2008

Hey, Amanda, did I tell you the monkey's name is Carla and the horse's name is Sarko?

;-D

Ted,

Drawings like that are so quick and easy I feel it's cheating to do them - but they sure are fun!

The other way round, surely?
