Cloudy Thinking: Blog Stats in Perspective
Now and then a friend asks how much traffic my blog generates.
Each month Cloudy Thinking sees about 3,000 unique visitors. Each person comes to the blog 2.5 times on average.
Last month, 4.8 percent of visits were links from search engines, with 92.7 percent a result of a bookmark or someone typing in the URL.
Technorati reports my blog rank as 244,085. That means a quarter of a million web sites have more traffic than my site.
That’s not so depressing when you turn it around: 69.75 million sites have less traffic than mine.

According to Technorati, a blog search engine, a hundred and twenty thousand Web logs are created each day, and the number of blogs now exceeds seventy million.
Of the blogs that review products, Engadget, now owned by AOL, has the biggest audience; it gets about eight million unique visitors per month. …
It humbles me to realize that I only need to attract another 7,997,000 visitors before i take the lead.
