Is it from all the advertising? Seriously, where does one make an income like that! Makes me think that maybe I am in the wrong business! Cheers! Miranda Hey Tyler,

I was shocked to read that John Chow makes that much money from his blog. Is it from all the advertising? Seriously, where does one make an income like that!
Makes me think that maybe I am in the wrong business!

Cheers!

I mean if I want a huge spike in traffic I write about a local event. Such as the Maple Ridge Truck Chase, or the Lululemon Mansy. It seems the day of, and the next few days following people Google like crazy for things like that here in Metro Vancouver (am I even part of Metro Vancouver? lol) @Raul is is fun to see spikes in traffic.

THREE. And I knew them all. My best friend, my brother and one of my female friends. So, yeah, while it is nice to have now a fairly steady readership, it takes a little while, and you DO write good content, so you should NOT feel bad about the stats you're getting. You will build a really solid readership, trust me on that one. @ Tyler - I have given up on associating specific events with my stats. Sometimes, like SteakCamp, I get a peak in stats. Then other times, like Father's Day, I get a REALLY high number of visitors. Go figure. @ GusF – There was a time, Gus, when I had 3 readers. THREE. And I knew them all.

I like looking at statistics and numbers though I try not to look every day. It is nice to check periodically through out the month though. I find that all stat tracking services give different outcomes. The best would be ones that could read directly from Apache's server logs and I might switch to something like that. Currently I've been using Google' Analytics and what it does is it sends into to Google prior to the page loading which can increase from your site loading time. Oh perhaps that could be a blog post: Different between Google Analytic type service, WP Stats and then one that reads directly from Apache Server logs (if one has access to them). I'll have to check with Rebecca if she's using that new site tracking software for her site. @GusF Don't give up! But yes it can be hard to think of posts and I too try not to force a post out. People have been asking me what I post about and how frequent I post. I say I post about what ever I find intersting and then what might other people find interesting and I post them when I can. Weekends normally don't have posting because I try and stay away from the computer lol Usually I don't have computer access if I'm with the girlfriend and I like it that way. I don't want to be changed to my computer if possible! @Raul – I’m obsessed about stats. I like looking at statistics and numbers though I try not to look every day.

Oh well one day, one day :) But like you Tyler I blog because I like to blog and I do find it hard sometimes to have new content everyday. I just don't want to post for the sake of posting, it has to have some meaning behind it. Reviews are always nice and if anyone wants to send me stuff to review I'm more than willing :) Boy I feel so little with on average 25 visits per day. Oh well one day, one day :)

That's ALWAYS great news!!! FWIW, I normally don't post my stats (I did a couple of months ago when I had about 3,000 to 4,500 unique views, but there has been an increase from that in the last couple of months, in no small part due to my involvement with the blogging community). I kinda felt that if I kept checking my stats I would feel obsessed, so I now check every now and then. Mostly, I use WP stats because I am such a clueless guy when it comes to FeedBurner :) It looks like your stats are going up, Tyler. That’s ALWAYS great news!!!
