You write from the heart, not to a timetable. Your new issues hit the street when they're good and ready. So do mine. And adverts won't change that. In fact, they won't change a thing.

No problem with ads from me but not sure what happens with content - Once you make some money from this fun pastime all of a sudden copyright becomes as issue so got to be careful it's all your own, or copyright-free images you use.<br /><br />As a relative newbie I'm just at 2k plus per month but have noticed that as the pool of posts increases so do the stats as the target is getting bigger - Having 800 posts increases the odds of a hit so to speak. Love seeing which countries appear in the lists though and last week got a view from Greenland and one from Guam which chuffed me no end!Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671033552961486737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-90127046546039099632017-09-10T19:46:59.651+01:002017-09-10T19:46:59.651+01:00Mmm...I'm gonna let this thing find its feet a...Mmm...I'm gonna let this thing find its feet and review it in a month.

I did only put out three posts, but even with more in a month I doubt I'll ever make 30,000... I get some interesting countries listed though, which always intrigues me, would love to think there are real people at the other end of them but suspect probably not!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-90298197673669151282017-09-10T18:47:08.179+01:002017-09-10T18:47:08.179+01:00That's interesting, they appear on my iPad, bu...That's interesting, they appear on my iPad, but not my Mac. Or phone. Ah well, in the words of Mick Jagger, It's Only Rock'n'Roll.<br /><br />In a world full of stats I'm usually cautious around them. But I operate two independent Stat Counters and they both, for the most part, corroborate each other.<br /><br />What is interesting is how people find me, and where they come from. I get a lot of visitors from the US. But what is fascinating is the keywords folks use which then throws up a hit at my place: bizarre!<br /><br />Also, and ripe for another blog, maybe when I've done 1000 posts (I'm up to 800 odd at the moment), is the content that gets most hits. You'll see a post in my left hand margin that's appeared in My Top Ten most popular ever since it was written: 'Somethings are over, somethings go on' is still being viewed 50+ times a day since it was posted in December last year. And a post I wrote about Bob the Street Cat is still Pick of the Pops - from four years ago. Until recently it was being viewed by every man and his dog and that piece alone has had over 5,000 hits. Cats, eh?<br />John Meddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547777949324509522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-4627712807619994682017-09-10T17:28:50.211+01:002017-09-10T17:28:50.211+01:00I see no ads at all at the mo', but I'll k...I see no ads at all at the mo', but I'll keep you posted. I just checked my own stats (for only the third time ever) which tell me that I had 4,678 page views last month, most of which appear to be courtesy of Russian / Asian bots. I don't know how to look further than the last 30 days, but I'm absolutely certain that I'll still be lagging 25,000 or so hits behind Even Monkeys Fall Out Of Trees, even on a good month.
