More Sitemeter Statistics- A Great Month- Thank You Very Much!



4/19/26:

This is a very old post from the early days of the blog's second iteration. The first iteration was in 2004. This is a very hard slog to get any traction and pageviews. In the early days of the blog, there were many days with (0) views. It took several months, but it finally did start get some views.

I was plenty happy about that little bitty success that I did have. It didn't grow much more though, but I kept at it for all these years.

There has been times when views have gone up, or seem to have gone up. The trouble is, I'm not too sure of what the actual number is, as I have stated several times before. The sitemeter thing fell out of favor after awhile. I don't remember why I set it aside. Maybe it was Google who made it impossible. It has been a long time since I've used that.

Sitemeter is still around, but they're asking for an account to use it. If I have an account there still, I don't remember how to access it. I could try to sign on again, perhaps with a different sign-on credential. I did that with W3Schools, but it wasn't easy with them to get back on. Maybe sitemeter is the same.

But why do that if Google supplies me with data anyhow? Google can strip out the noise and give me the scoop. Should I trust Google or should I move on to Sitemeter? Only if Google is not telling me the true story. But what IS the true story? Why would Google lie about it? ( I blush as I write this) Anyway, I might check into it. On the other hand, maybe I won't. Either the blog does okay or it doesn't. I'm not going to worry about it. As long as some folks are coming, I'll blog. If it goes to zero again, maybe then I'll stop. If you like this blog, keep on coming by.

Question: For those of you who are new, would you like to see these numbers continue to improve?  Here are a few ways to help

1) Go to the bottom of the page and click on some videos- the cartoons are the ones I made, watch these, that will help my YouTube stats
2) Go to the Facebook badge on the left, near the top of the screen.  Click on the badge and like my Space Colonization Page.  It has only 7 likes so far.  It may look a lot better if there were a lot more.
3) Like this page by following it.  There are only two followers of this page.  It would look a whole lot better if there were more.
4) Comment upon posts.  You can comment anonymously if you prefer.  Comments look better than no comments.
 5) Click on some Amazon links.  These are in italics, so they should be easy to spot.  Even if you don't buy anything, it may be helpful, I think.
6) Get your friends to do the same.
7) I'm not asking for money, or your email address, or your name, or much of anything.  But this blog does need support to survive.  Please help in any way you can.  Thanks for your support.
