I Finally Hit One Million

Today I am posting twice in the same day only because a benchmark of sorts has finally landed.

It has taken me almost 21 years, but sometime today, my millionth visitor stopped by my blog. It caught me by surprise. I figured it would happen in November or December of this year. Apparently more whoever's or whatever's are noticing "Lost in the BoZone". It's odd, but traffic increased from averaging 200 or so visits a day to around 3000 visits a day in the last 6weeks when I wasn't even posting.

Now that I am posting again, will my daily average fall back to my previous norm? It will be an embarrassing smack in the mouth if it does. People checking to make sure I am not posting new nonsense could hurt some feelings here on Sam Page Road.

 I know many blogs, websites and social media pages have reached their first million visits at the speed of light compared to my 21 year slog. Considering the interactions of the Internet, a million visits is nothing, not really. I take some pride though, that I hung in long enough to see my words touch that many people or searches. 

I also posted 1907 posts in those 21 years. I cannot speak to the quality of the posts. I can say though I had a blast writing them and I definitely picked up my writing game over the years. Given my tendency to be verbose at times, 1907 posts mean quite a few words. At a conservative estimate of 500 words per post, those 1907 posts end up containing at the least, 953,500 words.

Don't worry, tomorrow or the next time I post, it will be back to the usual dribble and nonsense.
