While we enjoy Bert Kaempfert’s 1960s classic, Afrikaan Beat, I can wonder what’s going on with this blog today. As I write this, we have 585 views–585!–and 327 referrals from Facebook, well over the daily average of, oh, 13 or 14. The record is 644 views on Nov. 7, 2016; and today we’re making a run at breaking it.
Does anybody out there know a lot about blogging? If so, can you clue me in? Like, we’ve got some 350 views Hyfrydol, a Welsh hymn I posted… a couple of years ago. Why is it so hot today? What factors might have come into play, to pump up the viewership? If I could only understand it, maybe I could learn how to do it on purpose.
Well, I’ve got to tear myself away to write my weekly Newswithviews column. I’ll check our stats again after I’ve finished.
Someone out there must know more about blogging than I do. I am merely dazzled by it all.
(And now it’s 590–wahoo!)
Russian bots? (Just kidding!) 🙂 🙂
I have no idea. I am no computer whiz, and even less with this particular program. I miss my old Apple mini that died a couple of years ago, of a sudden heart attack. This thing makes me nuts. We are having “down time” of internet due to the tons of snow all over the place.
It snows everywhere but here, this winter. All we get is cold, rain, and gale-force winds.
We have had lots and lots of the strong winds, too. That is another way our power lines and such get wasted. I so look forward to spring.
I have no idea how it works, but I have the same thing happen on my blog. One week there is hardly any action, the next I’m setting records. I never know what’s going on. Sigh.
Maybe Facebook decided you’re not so bad after all. Love the music, BTW.
Do you remember it?
Indeed I do. Kaemprert was a favorite.
It must be shared by someone over social media?
I didn’t know the artist’s name, so at first I thought it was going to be one of your spectacular satires, but when I played the song I instantly recognized it.
To increase traffic to your blog depends on the key words you choose. Also, other bloggers can reblog you posts (this post shows 4 bloggers who liked yours), so you can search for other Christian bloggers and network with them. YouTube is loaded with tutorials and how to send traffic to your website but watch out for sharks who are just after your money.
I think I reblog other bloggers more often than they reblog me.
Sounds like one of those old tongue-twisters: “How many blogs could a blogger reblog if a blogger reblogged blogs?” 🙂
LOL! 🙂
