I had about 7600 visitors in June, making it my second-best month ever. In the end, the pace was just slightly behind that of May, when I broke 8000 hits; going out of town for a few days dropped the rate just enough to lag behind. I made my 2000th post late in the month, after receiving my 2000th comment early on. Visitors 80,000 and 85,000 arrived in June, keeping me on track to hit 100,000 in late August. There are a number of new blogs in the list of top referrers for the month – as always, the complete list is under the More link.
As of July 1, I’ve been in the blogging business for a year and a half. On July 20, I’ll celebrate one full year on this domain. My monthly traffic has roughly doubled since I abandoned Blogspot, as you can see here (the July 2002 total is skewed by my arrival late in the month; it was about what I got in August if you add visits from my old site). I’m still going strong after 18 months, thanks in large part to my great readers. I can’t tell you how fantastic it is to hear or read the words “I enjoy your blog”. Thank you, all of you, very much.
