My best day this last month was the 14th March when I had an incredible 1,040 visitors, thats more than twice what my previous best day was. My worst day was the 25th of March when I had 47 visitors, my only day under 50 and I only had 13 days with under 100 visitors.
The reason for the big numbers is Laura Wood at The Thinking Housewife, who linked to an old article Why don't the poor marry?., thanks Laura! To be honest the title could have been broader and propably should have been. But Blogger has a mystery, in a normal month I should have expected around 2000 visitors, but I had 2,500 more than that. The only new link I know was from The Thinking Housewife, but the article was only clicked on 1100 times in the last 30 days. Where did the other visitors come from?
I've also had a very strange thing happen this week, I started getting visitors from a site I had never heard of before. It turned out that they had included a link to Upon Hope, which I saw here, http://mitrailleuse.net, however today my blog isn't included in the list! I have a feeling they didn't like my opinion about Paleo-Conservativism, to be honest I find the whole thing more amusing than anything.

I'm not involved with the 'The Mitrailleuse' blog if that's what you're inferring. Like yourself I've never heard of them.
ReplyDeleteWith regards to their reading list Steve Sailer is definitely worth a frequent read. I must have been reading him for a decade now and he has played a part in my political development. Takis Magazine is also worth a look, and i think could broadly be described as 'paleoconservative'.
Congratulations on your recent success. Reading a few of your posts I think (though I'm not an Anglo-Conservative myself) that your work is well thought out and deserves a large readership. I thought your 'loneliness' post was especially good.
Mr. Edwards
ReplyDeleteI didn't know either way if you were affiliated with them, either way I would have written what I did. I had a number of views of the same article and it was a reasonable assumption that they came from this new site.
Taki magazine is Paleo-Conservative, but certainly is worth a read.
Thank you for you kind words and I also hope it get's a larger readership. For anyone else here is the loneliness post:
