I like to check in on the stats once in a while to see if I can see any trends. I've been at this blogging thing for almost seven and a half years now and you would thing some of the numbers would make sense. They seldom do.
- Contests are good for traffic, holidays are not. You are all reading this at work, aren't you? Cheater pants! Everyone of you.
- A lot of people really want to know who many calories there are in beer.
- Months later, I think the demise of RSBS did have a real effect on people coming here - at least directly. Other aggregators has more than taken up more than the slack but no universal beer related aggregator has really replaced it. I still feel less in the know.
- I get the 6th most visits from India compared to any other country over the last year. Yet where are the comments? Work conditions must be tough there.
That is all I can come up with. I still think there are twelve of you out there. Other than that, it is a mug's game. Except if you are monetizing. Monetize and the pieces all fall into place.

Cheater pants? I resemble that remark. Although I do check back on the odd day off as well. How's your traffic from Australia? Any time you review a beer I am briefly inconsolable over the fact that said beer will never make it to my part of the world, but it passes.

Traffic? We had 220 visits from Oz in the last month. You are up there with North Carolina. I can't help you on the beer envy. I will never likely get to Australia so shouldn't that equal out?

I only check your blog at work. Guilty as charged, and glad to be one of the twelve. Tampa, FL

I just spent 6 months in India. I take responsibility for some of the traffic. In India, beer was dreadful. Reading about good beer was a nice respite.

Good to hear from you guys. Happy to help with either the workday or backpacking.
