... time's fun when you're having flies. I hope it's not a stretch to realize I'm playing with the words of the saying "time flies when you're having fun."
Six months ago, September 7, 2025, I posted that the count of the total (all time) views of the blog had surpassed 10 million views.
That's 10 million views in 15-1/2 years, or around 645,000 views per year. Last night after I posted that summary of the Space Launch System's Exploration Upper Stage being cancelled, I noticed that the total had gone over 12 million views. That's 2 million more views in six months or 4 million more views per year, over six times more than that 645,000.
Screen capture from Blogger's statistics display. If that number is tough to read due to its size or whatever, it's 12,014,668.
While I'd like to claim that I really get four million views per year, that's on the order of 11,000 per day and what blogger reports as views per day doesn't tend to look like that. It just has lots of variation and isn't remotely constant.
I really should add that I feel honored and humbled by all the nice things said in the comments going through my medical junk this week. Thanks to you all.
SiG, I totally appreciate everything you do. I will note that I am seeing a lesser but similar thing on my blog. I have to take the daily read level of the post as an idea of what I am actually getting. It is a lot less than what Google claims.
ReplyDeleteThe daily info always contains strange things, like several thousand views but the list of posts read that day never has one that has that's more than a tenth of that. I've always thought it was the places that are looking to leave Spam ads in the comments. Some sort of problem with how they count views. But it's still the only official number.
DeleteOne of these days, I have got to figure out how to pronounce your ID...
Congrats! You're a daily read, SiG.
ReplyDeleteTime flies like an arrow, but Fruit flies like a banana!
If I had thought about that quote in time, it might have been the inspiration...
DeleteTwo words that contribute to the high count, "Artificial Intelligence".
