A little bit of navel gazing today. I added Statcounter to the blog a year ago, so I was looking at what transpired over the last year. I had just shy of 62,000 hits in the past year (my second year at this blogging thing) with a high of 6,500 hits in February. That translated into a little more than 40,000 visitors.
Who knew my family spent that much time on the internet.

And all those people know what you are up to now. 🙂
Congrats. Those are some impressive numbers.
I imagine that probably makes you the most read blogger in Nunavut. My numbers are close, but below that. And most of the other Nunavut blogs haven’t been around as long. But I stand to be corrected.
You are the elder stateman of Arctic blogging, Claire…;)
Thanks all,
I don’t know about most read, there are a lot of good bloggers who seem to have a wide audience (Way Way Up comes to mind). I was surprised that you don’t have higher stats than me Craig.
I do think I’ve been blogging longer than any other active Nunavumiut bloggers. If I’m not mistaken Craig you’ve been at it longer, but not from Nunavut, correct?
I started in March 05, did 10 posts and then dropped it. The blog really came to life after I moved to Iqaluit back in August ’05.
My first year with Statcounter was 27k visitors and about 42k page hits. I’ll do better than that in the second year, but we’ll see if I crack 40k visitors or not in October.
Rightly or otherwise, I always thought the northern bloggers with the most traffic were you, me, Nunablog and Way, Way Up. Because we tend to update regularly and link to other bloggers.
And hey, you created the Nunavut blogroll, so that has to make you the senior northern blogger…;)
I’m on my second year with the blog here but I just started with Stat Counter about 11 weeks ago. I’m just shy of 5000 visitors now. If I have the math right I’m looking at getting just over 23k visitors and just under 40K page loads by the time next March rolls around – comparable to Craig’s numbers.
