So, yesterday’s quick anniversary post gave a glimpse of where this blog sits in the annals of human history. I decided to do a slightly better job. By the way, having the word “Conspiracy” in the title of a post will get you a bump in views and visitors.
I had only listed two links of previous anniversary posts. Here are all the previous anniversary posts in chronological order.
Anniversaries: First Second Third Fourth Fifth
I already showed the monthly views summary since inception . . .
Here are the calendar years 2014 and 2015 stats:
I had more views and visitors in 2015 than in 2014, but I had fewer comments. Sadness.
I also had fewer “likes”. Meh.
The graphical representation of the monthly totals from April 2014 to March 2016 is as follows. The blue data line is the number of views per month (using the scale on the left side of the graph). The red data line is the number of visitors per month (using the scale on the right of the graph).
In the past 24 months, I averaged 1,739 views and 680 visitors per month.
In the past 12 months, I averaged 1,694 views and 704 visitors per month.
For the graphically challenged, here is the equivalent bar chart:
Here are the stats for the yearly snapshots showing the number of posts and followers:
Here’s the progression of my Global Ranking (they no longer show the US ranking):
So, I’m moving up in the world.
I mentioned my progress in blanketing the world with Disperser Tracks . . .
Really, not all that much progress over the last three years.
So, what does all this mean? Biological-act-of-reproduction-all, really . . . except, I can check on the supposed value of my blog. Here’s the progression of this blog’s worth over the last three years:
Wow . . . something must really be working. Nearly a six-fold jump in one year. If I can maintain that six-fold yearly increase, by 2020 my blog will be worth $155,520.
BUT WAIT . . . there are other calculators to work out how much your blog is worth.
Holy crap on a gold-plated cracker! $30,930! Let’s see; a six-fold yearly increase will put the 2020 value of this blog at . . . (drum roll) . . . $40,085,280!!
Heck, I’d sell it for half that!
On a roll, I checked yet another calculator . . .
Holy crap on a tin-plated cracker! $0.00! Let’s see; a six-fold yearly increase will put the 2020 value of this blog at . . . (drum roll) . . . $0.00!!
Wait . . . what?

Please, if you are considering bestowing me recognition beyond commenting below, refrain from doing so. I will decline blogger-to-blogger awards. I appreciate the intent behind it, but I prefer a comment thanking me for turning you away from a life of crime, religion, or making you a better person in some other way. That would mean something to me.

So what DOES it all mean? I’m half tempted to check mine but I’m scared.

Only numbers. They have no power over you unless you allow them to.
At best, you can pick any of the metrics as significant (I use two; actual visitors and comments) to help justify the time spent doing this, although the main reason for me is because I enjoy it.
Certainly, the numbers of followers and the number of views are pretty meaningless, although they are used to “value” the blog (I presume as far as potential advertising revenue). The rest is just statistics; you take from them what you want.

Yah I think for me it’s more about the interaction. I prefer comments to anything else as I like to have a conversation, even a brief one. Still it would be interesting to see how it rates… I should take a good look at my stats again one day.

If I do those calculations I might find that I actually owe somebody money.

I wonder how they calculate the value or worth of a blog.
Where did you get those figures, disperser ? Im interested.

There are a few different places (you can Google them), but the ones I used are these:
http://www.blogcalculator.com/calcuate-blog-value/
This asks just a few questions. This is the one that gave me the $119 value
This one asks a lot of questions and it’s the one that gave me $30K:
http://www.myblogvalue.com/
This last one asks no questions and gave me the $0.00 million value:

They stress that the values calculated are for entertainment only and that your blog is worth exactly what someone wants to pay to either buy it or advertise on it.

As for moving up, I’m still 5,738,622nd in line . . . I’ll probably lose my place when I step out to use the bathroom.

Or I could move up from my 10 millionth place in line and hold your spot for you while you use the bathroom.

What is the dog-biscuits-puppies-support cost for 12 puppies?
(I’d ask for a paternity test before paying).
BUT . . . if intended and welcomed, congratulations.

The whole puppy thing was just an April Fool thing! Sorry! I was bad in good ways on Friday! 😛 What you said is funny! Ha! I had a picture in my mind of a female dog on the front porch asking for pup-support! Ha! Coop doesn’t even have a job, so he couldn’t support any pups…besides, his nuts were neutered years ago. 😮
Happy Whee-kend! 🙂
