We have been watching the NeoCounter with interest since we started the blog - and are beginning to doubt it's reliability - 515 hits from 41 countries?? We know who some of the readers are from other countries - family members and friends who live abroad, but I seriously doubt that it is of interest to any of the visitors from places like Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand etc. Some we know are from 'Comment spam', which we had a bit of trouble with at first before we discovered how to keep them out, so I suppose that they are still visiting. Can anyone tell me, do the automatic computers they obviously come from pick up on certain words in the blog - like 'pretty' for example - we had a huge jump in number of countries after the last post, which contained the word! Makes you wonder doesn't it ? There are some weird perverts out there!!
And, while we are on the subject of comments - come on you lot - those of you who know us, and those who don't, we would like to know what you think. Are we doing it right, or is it boring you senseless? (Lesley from nb Caxton is excluded from this - as is Greygal from DogsOn Tour, and Chas and Ann from Moore 2 Life - thanks you lot - you are the only readers that we've had comments from - keep 'em coming)
Hi Pip
ReplyDeleteIt is heartening when people take the time to comment but I know that I read, and enjoy, far more blogs than I comment on .. Perhaps I should get my finger out and respond a bit more!
Hi Lesley
ReplyDeleteYou have nothing to reproach yourself for - you are one of the best responders! I have seen, both on our blog and on others - keep it up!
Hi Pip and Rog,
ReplyDeleteSee, I'm a good girl and do as I'm told.
I can't believe how much is done, it looks fab.
Can't wait until we can have a go
love Ang x
Hi Ang
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen any evidence in the past of you doing as you are told, so this must be a first!
It does look fab, doesn't it, this time next year you and Tone will have already had a go! See you soon
Love Pip
As Lesley says, lots of people read but don't comment. They don't all have her comedic talents! But we are here and eager for more. Swallows and Amazons for ever!
ReplyDeleteOh dear - you've started something now - Rog thinks we should have 'Swallows and Amazons Forever' painted on the side of the boat!!!
ReplyDeleteMt NeoCounter records my own visits as coming from "Country - Bulgaria : City - Hereford" ! How weird is that?!

Hi Pip & Roger,
ReplyDeleteI've only just discovered your blog, happy travels & good luck.
PS: I used to have a hit counter but it disappeared one day! (So I gave up with the darn thing)

Thanks for your kind comments Heather. Do you have a blog? We really enjoy reading them all
ReplyDeleteRoger
Hi Pip & Roger, yes I do have a blog about our widebeam boat called Takey Tezey at:
ReplyDeletehttp://takeytezey.blogspot.com/
This address won't be a proper link in a comment, (can't do that)so you'll need to copy & paste in Internet Explorer, or the easy way is to click on "Heth" to view my profile & there's a link to my blog, (bottom right)on my profile page.
It's one helluva story & I try to give any readers a good laugh along the way!
Heather
Thanks for that. Another to read!!
ReplyDeleteHope you like it! Just added your blog to my "List of feeds that I reeds" lol
