The one problem I have with my blog is wondering if anyone is reading it, some entries have comments but most are blank.
Maybe I need to be more controversial
Or offer a beer voucher.
Or dig up the code for my first web site and set up hit counters for every entry.
Yes, that's it !!
For the blog entries that I have ideas for but haven't got around to writing yet I can use one of my old "Under Construction" animated gifs.
And that Email Me link on the right hand side is boring, replace that with an animated mailbox
The Internet must be getting old now that I can get nostalgic about the early days...
These thoughts did get me thinking about Hit Counters and were they still being used. Seems so, I found this entry for a company that does nothing but.
(names blanked out)
**** is the culmination of 6 years of very hard work, and is different to everything else out there and we're still working on it! The first 4 years were hard work done solely by myself (*** **** - The Webmaster) on one dedicated server, and we have seen such explosive growth in the last year that I have expanded this to a team of 5 exceptional people and 30 dedicated servers (and growing!). Now can I ask you, if you dedicated and sacrificed 6 years of your life to something, would you want to keep it a secret, or would you want as many people as possible to use your service?
6 years doing nothing but hit counters ?
dedicating and sacrificing your life to them ??
A team of 5 exceptional people working on hit counters ??? |
