Then yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon I was looking at Statcounter at work (as you do) when I noticed that I was suddenly getting an enormous number of hits on a post about a British Psychological Society report called Understanding Bipolar Disorder and that they were all coming from Twitter.
Bipolar disorder. Twitter. A huge volume of traffic. Could it be?
I went on to Twitter myself and sure enough...
The result was that yesterday this blog had 7887 unique visitors, which is by a long way the most visitors it has ever had in one day.
So thanks to Stephen Fry - and zany_zigzag, of course - I have done a good job of promoting this report for my employer while boosting my own readership. Call it inadvertent synergy.
Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteMy daily record is a far more modest 1,422 following a post I wrote on the death of Osama Bin Laden on the day that he was killed!
Do you use google analytics for your stats?
I linked to the report from my blog (after discovering it through yours), and many of my readers became extremely interested.
ReplyDeleteThe report is very valuable and enlightening and I din't think I would have found it if it hadn't been for your blog. So thanks!
well done, most hits I have had in one day is around a 1000 that seemed a large amount to me. That was back in the days before RCC staff were blocked
ReplyDeleteI am still using Statcounter for my stats.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the report, Clarissa.
Bloody hell - 7887 hits - wonderful!
