January 2007 sets new visitor record

Soup of the day is now gaining some notoriety it seems. In the last month, this blog has received 6085 unique hits, averaging roughly at 324 visits per day. This may not be up in the clouds with the BBC, but for an independent blogger, I must say I am quite impressed.

Even more impressing is that you guys have requested (and my servers shifted) and whopping 18.65 Gigabytes of data in Janaury, mainly in video form.

This month this blog also gained an extra Google rating point, now scoring 5/10 on average. This means that a search for ‘Soup of the day’ now appears on page two of the results, in second position… Not long until I’m on page one!

So a big thank you for all my readers, most importantly the ones who have linked to me, it goes without saying that it couldn’t be done without you guys. If you have a link to this blog and want me to return the favour I won’t hesitate to oblige your request.
