Glad I read this today, I have a site meter and do google analytics, but for me, blogging is a hobby and I don’t get into the numbers so much. However, as a lark, I just checked and yes! I had 123 visitors on May 28th, with my average the rest of the month around 40.

I enjoyed writing the Inspiration post and look forward to another group project soon.
At this point, I am still reading through the other inspiration posts and they have been really different and good. Thank you again for the opportunity.

Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments.

Joey, internet is the 8th Wonder of the World.

Ronald and Shankar, I don’t worry about RSS, just had to mention about it

Simonne, actually my boss was in Romania last week. Hopefully, there will be another business trip to Romania and they would send me

Paul and Tara, thanks for the congratulations. Tara, I’m really glad you have such an increase in traffic as well.

Mac, I’m really glad you’ve subscribed to my feed. Hope you won’t consider it to be a mistake, at least not in a near future

Congratulations on the being on the first page of digg from me too. My visitors definitely increased so thank you. I had been getting on average (according to my 1and 1 stats) about 1000 unique visits a day, but this increased to about 2500 for a day during the “source of inspiration” peak.

I hope you manage to enjoy your business trip, even though you miss your family.

Hey! I go with Ronald. Feed readers count is something that you’ll get back in the long run and it’s not reliable too. And you’ve showed some pretty awesome stats.

Have a great trip!

Hey, Vivien, you got closer to my place! It’s still a long way to go from Norway to Romania, but who knows, maybe your company is going to do some business here some day :).

I read about your Guest Bit and I will definitely participate.

I’m looking forward to read the interview you promised.

Vivien,

Don’t get too depressed as far as the feed subscribers go. You’ve experienced the Digg effect, and unfortunately very few people will stick around.

I’m glad your TA increased. That is awesome.

That’s awesome that you now allow guest writers officially. I look forward to what others will have to share.

Thanks for the update, I had been waiting for my Inspirationbit fix. About your questions on being away from the family it sounds like you have the contact methods down. Isn’t the internet wonderful.

As for when you come home I’m sure everyone will be glad to see you and accept you home with open arms. I only have one child left at home and while my wife and I were on our last trip she didn’t miss us at first. But by the time we got back she was really glad we were home and she was reminded again that her parents aren’t that bad. She’s a teenager by the way.

I did pick up a handful of feed subscribers during the Blog Project Digg experience.

Thanks again and have a productive trip.
