I need a bit of help.
The Brutish Airways issue is one of my case studies so please if you blogged about it or linked it or put up a poster about the boycott, could you kindly let me know. I am trying to ascertain the power and effect of blogging.
Also, expert bloggers in the house, apart from the neo-counter, is there any other way I can find out how many visitors were at a blog? I believe that politiocal/activist bloggers like theafrobeat,solomonsydelle,gnaija,comrade,chxta,nneoma etc attract as many readers as others like afrobabe,jinta,pink-satin etc who deal with softer issues. But I need to prove this, and right now all I got is the number of comments each post generates and thats not good enough. Help, anyone?
It's difficult to be holding a little baby and typing away, but I attended Sefi Attah's reading long ago and when asked how she finished her novel despite having to care for a little girl. She said, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, and recounted how once at 3am, she was feeding the baby with one hand and typing with another. I am drawing my inspiration from her.
I am a bit concerned about Jintaoooooo. Does anyone know where he is?
Cheers y'all.

I agree with you that enough vastly different people to make different blog types attractive. will try to figure out how to prove it.....just as soon as i turn in MY dissertation he he. but seriously though, i'll help
about the baby thing. this is why WE are the true stronger sex. go girl its what we have to do and we have been doing it pretty well now for centuries :)
I worry about Jinta too.
All the best with your dissertation. Try finding out some things about the Brutish Airways from Solomonsydelle. She blogged about it. http://www.solomonsydelle.com
If the flow f comments didn’t help you know more about a blgo traffic, do try the profile view. The profile view tells you how many numbers of times a profile has being view which of course means the profile links the visitor to the blog. Am I making sense?
Yes, solomonsydelle is the one-stop shop for info on Brutish Airways.
In regards to determining how many people visit your blog, here are some options:
alexa.com - tracks the number people who visit a site over time. however, it may not work with sites that get relatively little traffic.
feedburner.com - gives a count of how many people are subscribed to a particular blog
technorati.com - helpful if you want to find out how many other sites have referenced your particular site of interest - more of a popularity test that can serve as a proxy for number of visitors
I used to care about such things in my early days of blogging - now, I blog first for me and the few who do actually stop by....

Hey, I'm sorry that I am just visiting your blog in a long time. Are you still looking for ways to prove the amount of readers vs. clicks on sites? There are quite a few ways, but you would need some help - cooperation from the blog owners to share their numbers, and/or use Technorati rankings (quite easy to do) and other rankings at Alexa.com.
If there are any more specific questions that you have please let me know at kontactr.com/solomonsydelle
Again, sorry to just be seeing this but I have been and continue to be seriously overextended. =)
God bless!
...till today o, i never received this your survey...how are you?...and your small pikin?...hope all is well...come and at least give us two lines so we know you are okay...
