On Saturday, I received 80 hits to my blog. That is far and away the most visitors ever to my blog in a single day. Even more remarkable, it was the weekend which is typically a slow time.
So why the sudden surge? It certainly isn't because visitors are interested in me. Most of the hits, almost 50% have been for a post about curing your cancer not being the best idea. And that wasn't even my post. It was a repost of an article I found in the Wall Street Journal [in 2006] which I thought of interest.
It used to be a couple of posts I did on polychromasia were the biggest draw, but no more. Those posts still get their share of hits, just not as many as the curing you cancer post, and I'm curious why the shift?
I've also noted a shift in who's visiting my blog.
By far the most hits come from the US (as you might expect), followed by Canada and Great Britain. But lately I have been seeing more hits from other countries like Australia, Brazil, Ireland, Taiwan, Norway, Hungary, Singapore, India, just to name a few. I even got a hit from Ethiopia recently which really surprised me.
For sure cancer and lymphoma are not restricted to the US, and obviously neither is internet access.
It sure would be interesting to know who some of these people are? I know most just happen to stumble over some topic I've discussed through a web search, but there are a few others who regularly visit my site when I post something, regardless of the topic.
So anyone out there from another country, who frequents my blog, if you have the inclination please contact me. I sure would love to hear from you.
