Statistically speaking

I need 119 visitors in the next, um, 14 hours to reach 20,000 by 2008.

On my best days I was getting 70 visitors and that's dropped to 30-something over the Christmas period, so I guess there's not much chance. I know! It can be my first New Year's 'resolution': to reach 20,000 visitors! Yay, that's one resolution I may be able to keep.

(Okay, I know that, strictly speaking, that's not a resolution but this is my blog so it can be if I say so.)

One less needed to hit your target Liz. Hapy New Year

Shades said...

So it isn't just men that size is important for after all, Liz?

Grendel said...

And another one less. Will try to come back during the day.

Good luck with your goal

I can’t provide all of the visitors, Liz, but I can wish you a Happy New Year!

In 2008, may you have… -
Walls for the wind
And a roof for the rain,
And drinks bedside the fire
Laughter to cheer you
And those you love near you,
And all that your heart may desire

If it's any consolation, sitemeter isn't a very accurate tool for recording visitors. It's the one we all use because it breaks down the information it picks up. However, if Clustrmaps is right, then Sitemeter picks up about two thirds of readers.

So my guess is, it is 30,000 you are just short of...

Glad to help out! Happy New Year and all the best for 2008.

One more visitor and a happy new year!

Matt M said...

Another one less now. Happy New Year. :-)

Liz Hinds said...

Thank you all very much!

Touche, Ian, but you see it isn't the size itself that's important to me. It's the shape and firmness that matters. As long as my visitor base is in good shape and firm then I'm happy!

Don't you get lots of searches for Golden Retrievers? My solid base of visitors used to be searches for Westie images, but I'm afraid the new avatar is just not cutting it.
Happy New Year Liz.

Happy New Year, Liz! All the best for a wonderful 2008. I'm looking forward to more videos of George as he grows up. Try to turn the camera on your hubby for a change, too! ;D

Sackerson said...

Stll 6 3/4 hours to go... good luck!

Ellee Seymour said...

Good luck to reaching your target, and Happy New Year too.

Colin Campbell said...

It was New Year here almost 7 hours ago, so not sure if I count. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Welshcakes Limoncello said...

Hope you make it! Like Shades' comment! Happy New Year to you all, especially George, from Simi and me! xxx

MissKris said...

Well, I'm hoping my visit is making it just that much closer for you, Liz! Happy New Year, dear friend!!!!

MaryB said...

Count me in! Happy New Year, Liz!

Leslie: said...

Popped in to make it one more closer to your goal. I think I forgot to wish George a happy FIRST new year!

Too late - as usual - so HNY

DeeJay said...

Sorry I missed the deadline!

I can't imagine getting to the haedy heights of blogging fame to achieve 20,000 hits - I usually get between 10 and 20 a day

Have a great 2008

Gledwood said...

Did you get there eventually?
119 in half a day over Xmas would be quite something... I'm getting the same kind of level of visitors as you... I have to say I got another counter. I think it was called Statcounter. That one always counts MORE visitors so I like it more. Sitemeter has better statistics and things though. Yawn!
Sorry!!
The computers are so slow tonight! I've been waiting what feels like 1/2 an hour and I'm sure in reality isn't that short of it for those videos to reappear. And even when they do I can only "purloin" them to my other blogs now and come back later
you don't mind my purloining, do you?
i need cute puppydogs and things for my Animal Crackers especially... and I was going to put YOU on my Great Celebrity Blog. Actually. Why not. That IS where you shall go my dear and if anybody hasn't herd of you that is their problem. After all in today's world everybody has their 15 mins of fame

cheerio!!

and I hope you are having a glorious New Year 2008

ta-ta!
