Just looking at our statistical information to see where our readership is coming from over the last day or so as we slide into 2012, and are reminded that we've been making new friends all around the world who are united in our interest in early rock and roll, the cover tune era, the singer-songwriter scene, and the American Invasion of Britain!
We were happy to post this blog back in 2007 when we were thrilled if we had 50 or 100 readers a month and now we have so many more readers.
Our readership numbers go up and down but just so you know, about 1750 people hit on posts in the last 30 days, not so bad for the holiday season which is usually a down time.
Over that period, the countries that checked in with us the most were the United States, followed by Russia, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Sweden, Canada, Poland, Australia, Germany, and Bulgaria, with Bulgaria and Poland showing the greatest increase in interest. The greatest interest has been over this time, not surprisingly, in James Dean and Elvis Presley, followed by any link we make on Wes Bryan, but we can tell that fans of Johnny Rivers and other musical artists of are checking in too.
If you have any helpful suggestions for us (and we are still open to videos and information on rockabilly artists circa 2012) please leave a comment or email us! We want to keep this blog interesting, on topic, and open minded.
We'll be on one of our "technology update" vacations for the next week or two, working behind the scenes to meet our blogging goals and keep up the archives and will be back to you for our celebration of Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper, and Buddy Holly!
Christine and Wes
Hello from the U.S! About the blog: I really enjoy the content you post and the flavor of music, but I would like to see more visual content, maybe attaching a quote with a picture to make the blog posts more appealing. Besides that, keep up the good work and dont stop posting!
ReplyDeleteHey Brian, thanks for you comment! We've been avoiding updating our Google Blogger to one of the newer formats because so many of our readers are not able to upgrade their own computers, and we don't want them to miss pictures. The template we have here is customized so that we can present pictures on the rolling banner and on the cubes to the side bar. Recent stats from Photobucket are that about 10,000 views of our pictures are made a month!
