While we have been away celebrating the holidays and not posting, we went over the 8,000 hits mark. Maybe the way to generate hits is to actually not post anything, and just have everyone come and look. I have researched the timing from 7,000 to 8,000 to see if this theory holds up. Actually, the numbers are interesting in how they trend.
First of all, keep in mind that in August we attempted to post almost every day to see if it could be done, and if it would create more traffic. With that in mind, here are the numbers.
It took 143 days to go from 6,000 hits to 7,000. During that time , we posted 39 times, an average of one every 3.6 days.
It then took 231 days to get to 8,146 (since I haven't checked the site in a while, apparently, I am not sure when we got to 8,000). During this period we posted 48 times, including the August experiment. That comes out to one post every 4.8 days. ( I feel like MBB with all my percentages)
So the theory of posting less often would seem to bear this out. However, as we post in bursts, it isn't really fair to use this analysis, so I propose a different one.
In the 6,000 to 7,000 time period, there were ten (10) posts on waffles, that comes out to 14.3 days per waffle post. In the 7,000 to 8,000 period, I think there were two waffle posts, that comes out to 115.5 days per waffle post. So the more waffle posts, the faster we get to the next level.
I see the trend folks, BRING ON THE WAFFLES!

mmmmm, waffles.
I'm all for more waffles!
(I will admit though I was not sure where this post was going, but I am not surprised we ended up back at the waffles!)
Dr. G, you would be great in the corporate sphere. After your dizzying statistics, I no longer know whether I am a going forward or backward, but I am certain you haven't a clue as to what you have reported.
