Sometime between the last time I checked and today, I topped 10,000 pageviews.
I'm not actually sure how long it's taken to do this. I was in college when I signed up for the SiteMeter stats tracker, so what the hell, let's just call it three years.
So. Three years. 10,000 pageviews. That's approximately 3,000 pageviews a year, 277 a month, 64 a week, and 9 a day.
For a site that doesn't get updated anymore, that's pretty good.
In celebration, I collected my Googles from SiteMeter since I hadn't done that in a while, and I have one thing I'd like to say:
To all you morons who get here using the phrase "squibnocket cards," are you paying attention to what you're clicking? Does the fact that the URL has the word "DIARY" in it and the title of the page doesn't mention greeting cards maybe clue you in just a little? Appparently not, because you keep coming here in droves.
I'll let you in on a little secret, my Google visitors. I named my betta fish Squibnocket. I'd just heard it somewhere and thought it was cute. I don't know anything about the cards and I sure as fuck don't know anything about the cards. I realize my Googles page comes up ninth from the top out of three-hundred results. But think about it, kiddidoes -- that means there's eight more sites that have more information than I do above me, and one of them is -gasp!- the REAL Squibnocket website.
I was willing to censor every reference to the carpenter I call Py Tennington so I'd stop getting flooded with hits for him, but I won't censor the references to my fish. I might not have loved him like I loved Betta Fish, but I still cried when he died. I can only hope that Google picks this page up. And maybe one day, you'll realize just how cranky the endless hits for Squibnocket Cards make me.
A small reward for those who have sat through this rant. The Squibnocket Cards website is HERE. Stop going to my diary and start going there. |
