A Rat’s Report Card

A benchmark of sorts: this will be the first month since this blog started a little over a year ago with over 50,000 page views (about 1,700 a day average). Those views came from about 20,000 readers in over 2,000 locations around the world (see Google Analytics map above). Looks like readers come from throughout the English-speaking world, and a few places beyond (welcome Makati!). The top 3 cities are New York, Los Angeles and London. Not bad for a general-interest blog written by an anonymous rat.

























There are a lot of rats in New York, right?

Thanks, Aatom. Ironically, I’ve been recently reassessing my expectations of the blog and what I can expect from it. I’ll post about it in the next day or two.

well, ironically, i post about as often as you do, and I get about as many visitors a year as you do a month. so you’re doing something very right. keep up the great work. I nod my head in admiration every time I read your site.

Thank you… er, Al Sharpton Blog. And thanks especially, Aatom.
As for what I’m doing very right… remember, I work in advertising. I’ll write a post at some point about how I’ve promoted the blog since its launch.
