Inbound hits for the month
I’ve read claims from a certain new media titan that just one of his sites gets about 5,000 hits a day. But then I look at my stats and something seems, I don’t know, funny … I tried checking his site meter, but for some equally odd reason it’s numbers are ‘private’. Hmm …
“media titan”…good one, made me laugh out loud…still laughing…

Aren’t there hits and hits?
I have had a number up at the beer blog about activity that, since moving to Google Analytics, I have come to distrust and have it on the “to do” list to replace. What pure server stats and intelligently filtered stats tell you is that the difference is spam bots and other useless activity. So I accept I likely have more like 16,000 uniques a month at the beer blog rather than 33,000.
But that number does not take into account the readers of aggregators. I asked once and yoinks of readers do not actually come to my site but read my words through a web app that comes to my site once a day or once an update. These readers aren’t counted in the 16,000.
So isn’t it possible that by reading someone’s site meter you are only getting a slice of the whole pie of internet activity?

With our beer dispense equipment any one can dispense and serve both Cask or Real Ale and or Keg Beer.Many licensees are discouraged from offering cask beer since they are afraid they will not be able to keep it but with modern automatic stillages and the amazing Race Cask Ventilator which doubles the shelf life of a cask the all pubs and hotels should be able to serve good cask Ale.
