This is a quick note to reassure readers that you’re not alone, but you are in very select company.

After more than a year of blogging and blurting here are some stats from this site. I thought some of you may be interested.

• There are currently 52 RSS readers, the all time high of 56 was hit last week.
• There have been over 2,000 unique visitors every month this year. March was the highest with 2,542 unique visitors, but May looks likely to set a new record.
• On average each visitor comes 2.4 times a month, i.e. there are over 5,000 visits a month.
• On average each visitor views 4.5 pages per visit.
• The vast majority of visitors are from the USA and Australia. Last year it was predominately visitors from USA, but Australia has been gaining ground this year. Strangely Russia and the Philippines take a distant 3rd and 4th spots. My guess is that is bloggers from entrecard, but who knows.
• Money is not the motivating factor for this site, which is lucky as it generates close to zero. I’m simply reporting on it here for any bloggers that are interested. I’ve had one $100 payment from Adsense, back in January. I now have a balance of $53, so I’ll probably get another payment later this year. There has been one click through to Amazon, but no purchases, so I’ve got no idea how much Amazon pay. There are probably other ways to monetise a blog, but I’m just not that interested.

[Update: A good friend has launched his second range of hairdressing scissors. They are fantastic scissors available at amazing prices. I think he'll do well.]
