Fast Approaching 8,000 hits

As has been the trend since I have been regularly posting here on the ponderings we seem to have hit a nice steady clip of about 700 viewers a month sometimes it spikes to 1,000 if I post a lot other times it hovers between 650-735. As always I'm ecstatic about this, while yes I do advertise this blog now in my various social networking haunts and keep the link posted in my twitstream(not so much in my tumblog as I haven't been there as often lately) just because you see a link doesn't mean you will click on it, trust me I am weary of links on peoples pages too. While sometimes it's something nice usually its a link to something less than healthy for your computer, and I don't mean extra sprinkles on your soft serve cone less than healthy either extra sprinkles at least give you a good taste before they help to give you cavities. Oh no, some of these links lead to malware, pop ups and viruses. So just because I have something linked to my page doesn't mean they will come.

Of course just like before the majority of my visitors seem to find me from Google, looking up either my various reviews or accidently looking up some other subject that I have either title my blog similar too or they have just misspelled. Some stay and read on others just disappear as quick as they came, to date The Warriors Way review still seems to get the most hits. Kind of burned out on movie reviews right now, maybe in the future but as of today everything past The Hangover 2 way back in June has gone unreviewed, I started one for both X-men and Green Lantern I just never finished them and have thus not even started any others though I have gone to the movies for most of the summer(as my trailer blogs will show). And the Hangover 2 was of course reviewed on WordPress because well most of what was done and said in that movie would be hard to describe here, it would almost be like trying to review a porno on this blog no bueno.
So we are on the countdown to 8,000 as I still have more visitors than comments I realize that I have given you something to read but I guess I really haven't given you a reason to speak, hopefully in the future I get better at that, but keep reading. I know it's like the bane of every bloggers existance we see the hits and how many people read our submissions but we all want some feedback:Do you agree, disagree, think we're hacks(I will admit to being unpolished and happily so at times), think we're insane, think you could do it better(which personally if you do, try it we could always use another voice out here), wish we would tackle other topics, think we left something out(which is why I have a comments section and you can comment anonymously so please feel free to add it in, I have no problem updating), think we are awesome, I mean what do you think. Like anything one puts out in the public sphere we are wondering what people think about it, yes I know how long people are on my page and how often they look at more than one article(but I admit I am anal like that and I jumped on some analytics on day 381). Well not exactly how long if you don't go to another article on my blog you could be here for 20 minutes unless you click on another link Google An still counts you as a bounce. For those who don't use an analytics program a bounce is basically somebody who comes to and IMMEDIATELY leaves your page, basically it appears like they didn't even attempt to read anything maybe they did maybe they didn't like your overall look, they just came and left.

Many folks lament this because what if someone read and entire article and loved it, but did leave a comment because they found everything they needed and just left, maybe they were here for a whole 2 minutes or more but didn't click on another link just shut down there browser or went to another site? Yeah Google Analytics doesn't care and on top of that they don't count all the hits that Blogspot/Blogger/Google blogs/whatever it's called this month sees. Drives some people nuts, me hey I'm getting hits some that are counted in both places some that ain, but hits none the less so I'm over hit stepping it out(mentally) keep on stopping by and if something moves you enough to comment come on down. I'll ask that you keep the cursing under as much control as possible but hey you're an adult(most likely) and as long as you act like it we won't have any problems here as of yet I haven't had to ban a soul form my site nor remove any comments so yeah me and thanks for being friendly(at the moment, I'm sure sooner or later I will get some nasty grams due to my myriad political comments).

Enough about Googles lack of keeping up with all of my wonderful readers though, enjoy your holiday and I hope you have been entertained. For those who haven't sorry to see you go, but you are always welcome to come back later, you know I really don't have a good sign off yet I had one but "Til the next Episode" doesn't really fit my blog like it did my commenting on Tom Joyner Morning show board back in the day. My content isn't really episodic here like the topics on the days events back then, oh well I might possibly think one up going forward, maybe use some train lingo I have called this place the "Randomosity Train" a time or too. Okay I feel a ramble coming on (too late) so see ya later
