It looks like you’re doing a good job. Healthy numbers and a healthy community. Two things every well-written blog deserves.

Incidentally, I still check stats every few hours. I’m not sure what I’m expecting to see, but I keep doing it nonetheless.

I used to think I was the only one so obsessed with my blog stats that I checked on it every half hour during the day, now I know better. I also congratulate you on your amazing achievement.

Great job on the rss subscribers. That has become one of my recent challenges. Postcards hovers between 80-100. I’ll likely be adding that to my monthly goals for September. It would seem that is more telling than most assessments of blog success in that it simply indicates the number of people clicking the text of what you write.

Still, success is self-defined as you know very well.

I enjoy watching you exceed your goals. Keep it up buddy and thanks for all the help you give me!

As a buyer I don’t see quite as much risk, although by no means do I understand the process that the G follows with regard to links (whether buying or selling).

Consistency, willingness to help other people, being honest and genuine with others. That makes for a great foundation at least. But much of the success goes to all of you.
