At long last, my blog has made it to 100,000 hits!
As for the picture at the top… No, I’m not from Colorado. It’s just a nice image with 100k on it, and everyone else uses an odometer showing 100000 when their blog hits 100k hits.
Here are the obligatory brag-stats images:
General statistics. Using these numbers and the age of my blog (451 days old today): My blog now has an average of 222.6 hits a day, 1.36 posts a day (not including this one), 1.47 comments a day, 1.078 comments per post, and 163.224 hits per post.
My first 50000 hits had these statistics: 50000 hits over 368 days, average of 136.986 hits a day; 531 posts, average of 94.162 hits per post; 531 posts over 368 days, average of 1.443 posts a day; 467 comments over 368 days, average of 1.269 comments a day.
Compare with these latter 50000 hits: In stark contrast to the 368 days needed to get my first 50k, it took a mere 83 days to get my second 50k! 50000 hits over 83 days, average of 602.41 hits per day; 84 new posts, average 595.24 hits per post; 84 posts over 83 days, average 1.012 posts per day; 195 comments over 83 days, average of 2.35 comments a day.
Graph of hits per month since my blog began. Cool new feature on WordPress, which roxxor over Blogspot. As you can see, my hits have been overall increasing, with a slight dip in October since it’s only been half a month.
All time top posts, all above 4000, 2000 and 1000 hits (except the last one which is there to show how close it came) which you can find links to at the right side of my blog’s main page.
And how many spams Akismet has filtered out for me, along with the occasional spam that slips through and the rare genuine comment that is classified as spam and rescued by me.
My previous ‘Achievement Posts’ are at 50,000 Hits, 40,000 Hits, 30,000 Hits!, 20,000 Hits! and 10,000 Hits!.
And now, I shall end with a list of posts I recommend from all the way back since this blog started! Extra recommended posts in bold. Some are chosen because they link to others in a sort-of series of related posts, or have lots of comments.

What can you attribute to your sudden jump in stats in May of this year? Did you do any promoting / etc.?
October 18, 07 at 8:28 am
Do you mean May or June? I don’t really do promoting via ads, nor do I go around commenting everywhere.
Posting on a currently hot topic, an internet meme, or a trackback to a high traffic site usually does the trick.
For example, among my top posts are consistently searched for stuff like the Russell Crowe South Park Episode and WRYYYYYY!
If you mention ‘Malaysiakini’ in your post, chances are it will get you a few hundred curious visits before your blog’s link gets nudged out of the spot. Try it with other popular sites too.
