Follow The Blog, Win Cookies!

Yes, nine months' anniversary easy contest. Follow the blog publicly (see the "Follow" button on the top right hand side on the blog) and I will send you a jar of cookies no matter where you are.

The cookies are for every new public follower throughout the month of May.

And for my current followers, don't be left out, get your significant other, sons, daughters, cousins, cats to join and the cookies are yours to enjoy!

Why am I doing that? This is what the marketing world refers to as "gamefication" - the blog is a game, and generating traffic is the score. 

The graph below shows how monthly traffic has been building for the blog and I want that line to keep growing as opposed to flattening out. The more followers, the more word of mouth, the more traffic.


Where is this traffic coming from? The whole world. The map below (which is accessible on the blog for anyone interested) shows, via the orange dots, where the visitors are coming from. Cliche, I know, but a picture is worth 1000 words.


And yes, the "comments" function may be activated soon. We are in the process of conducting an assessment on the pros, cons and the time involved to handle comments. 

Meanwhile, here are the most popular entries to-date based on traffic. It is fascinating how much the somerville kitchen renovations intrigued readers.
