As a webmaster, I am a failure.........so far.

The traffic to this blog has began to fall.  Here are my monthly numbers according to Blogger.com

I only purchased the blog in January after someone else failed to renew the name.  I was looking for a low cost name which the number.xyz are at only .99 per year.  I looked this number up as it is one of the few phone numbers that I actually remember now that all my contacts live in my phone.  The person that had the name before me simply setup a wordpress website and did not make any posts or attempts to post anything.  I assume they were simply hoping to sell the name at a higher price.  When that did not work, they dropped it and I picked it up.  As you can see from the number of posts, I have not done much either.  I have always assumed much of the traffic here at the start was from things the previous owner of 8675309.xyz did with the name.  I am attempting to track visitors through blogger.com settings and cloudflare.com analytics.  Blogger reports that I had 312 visitors to this site, while cloudflare tells me I have had 912 unique visitors in the last 30 days.  Obviously a significant difference in the measured visitors.  I assume part of the difference is that cloudflare servers some pages as static if Blogger.com is down or to slow.  I might have to setup google analytics and see if I can figure out if that differentiates between the two services.  Now you have a bit of information on how unsuccessful my blog has been.  Rock on!
