99 unique hits, thanks BokJae
I usually do not bother much about the number of hits/visitors I get to this blog since I am unable to “get into full gear” to do the things I had intended for this blog. However, I still check my stats daily to see if there is any unusual activity. True enough, I almost fell off my chair yesterday! The first thought that came to my mind was “Statcounter must’ve gone haywire! There has got to be an error somewhere!”. So I quickly checked the referrers and voila, it was the result of a review done by one kind soul, BokJae, at Stumbleupon.com
BokJae’s is one of my favourite blog I recently discovered. I like the way his writings brings me back to earth and reminds me to be thankful for the little things I have in life. I am not saying this just because of the hits BokJae’s review brought me. I had meant to write about several recently discovered blogs that I really like but had been stuck with the house stuff. So for now, I will write about BokJae first, just to thank him. I had wanted to reciprocate his kindness by reviewing his blog on stumbleupon.com also, but I think it requires its toolbar to be installed in order to be able to review a blog? I see that BokJae has also given reviews to many of his fellow bloggers and I know they must be as grateful as I am.
99 unique visitors may be a norm to many blogs but it is extremely unusual for an uninteresting and not-so-active new blog with a page rank of a big flat zero like mine! Below are screenshots of my stats.

The answer …

Thanks again, BokJae, you’re the man!


mommibee,
99 unique visitors are a lot! I don’t even get half of it. hehe.

BokJae is a very thoughtful man just like Kok.

mommibee:
Good for you. If you have many people stumbled and reviewed your page, you can get huge traffic. Let’s say 2000 unique visitors in one day. You will have to be a good stumbler yourself before getting even more traffic.
I have research on StumbleUpOn for sometime. You can see many of my stumbleUpOn related post on my blog, if you really care about incoming traffic. StumbleUpOn – Traffic Booster
Keep that in mind, StumbleUpOn only give you short term traffic boost. Content is king. A good quality content and unique site will bring long term traffic.
Good luck!
mommibee,
No need to review my blog lah. My blog is just too lousy to be showed off. haha!
Better not installed any toolbar. After you’ve installed, it might be difficult if you wanna get rid of it. Just a two cents advice from me.
wei, thanks for dropping by my shopping blog. you don’t have to since i know u r pretty tied up now.
what about installing toolbar with stumbleupon? i wanted to get my alexa score lower and i think it also requires to install toolbar. i dislike having those “i don’t use much” toolbars on my desktop. that’s why my alexa is so high … high is not too good … the lower the better.
wow! wow! wow! I still dono how to get that tool bar up by not get scolded by my PB… *sigh*
Congrats on your surge of traffic…
Hope it’s just the beginning, keep checking my site, maybe I can help!
Could you please email me so I have your email? Thanks!
Waah good news! Hope you’ll be going up the popularity ladder! Cheers!
