Stats

This entry will be short only because I'm currently reading over my stats and I'm noticing the different traffic sources to my blog and ways people find it. Most of the time all I see is how many readers I've had for the day/week/month and at what times my blog was accessed. Then it tells me how many times each blog has been read and the comments left and such. But anyone who uses blogspot for your writing knows all of this already. The real reason I am typing this up is because I just noticed today that there are people actually out there searching on Google for the keywords "A Tireless Mind". My blog has started to garner enough attention through word of mouth and Facebook and just by me talking about it with family and friends that I now have people logging onto their computers, going to Google, and typing in the words "A Tireless Mind" specifically looking for my blog. I never imagined that I'd have any readers outside those who see the link to my blog on Facebook so I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at my stats today and noticed there were people searching for my blog specifically on Google. This just blows me away and motivates me to keep on writing. Now that I know that not only do my Facebook friends care to read my blog and that people I might not even know are out there searching for it specifically I will definitely do my best to keep making daily posts. Only from now on my posts won't just be boring ramble talking about myself and my life. Yes I will keep on making posts like that for those of you who like to be updated with what's going on in my world but I will start to find new and more interesting things to talk about that have nothing to do with me. Who knows....I could be the next Perez Hilton (only a lot less gay and a hell of a lot more interesting). I won't be focusing on entertainment and celebrities though to write about. And I don't want to be like him. I want to be original (if originality is even possible now days).

I don't want to get too excited because having my blog specifically searched for on Google might not mean anything at all. But I'm not going to let that tiny little detail keep me from feeling good about this. So yes, I'm bragging....just a little. But I'm bragging with good reason because it feels good to know that I'm starting to get known outside the Facebook world.
