Not exactly viral but....


Near the top right hand side of this blog, a little beneath our family picture, there is a counter that tracks the total number of times people have looked at this blog. There are usually 60-80 page views on the first day following each time I post, which is consistent with the number of folks to whom I send e-mails directly. As the blog owner, when I open Blogger I see some additional information that includes a report of recent activity.

This morning, Blogger showed the following tally:

Pageviews today
100

Pageviews yesterday
169

Pageviews last month
999

Pageviews all time history
39,966


This is more than a three-fold increase in the usual number of views for a new post. How and why did this happen? I wonder if it has something to do with my having included that pharmaceutical advertisement, but I tried googling that and it did not lead to my blog. Otherwise I cannot imagine what I might have done that has suddenly made me so much more popular.

I have no fear (and no ambition) that I am about to “go viral.” Meanwhile, 40K here we come!

Love,

Rebecca
