Dear Aliens…
October 24, 2008
So I’m doing a demographics study. Er, sort of.
I mean, if you’ll help me out.
I know most of you HATE to comment because my page views are so much higher than the comment rates. If I were so inclined I’d figure out the math right now but… eh what the heck, I am so inclined.
So far I have over 5,000 blog hits. 5,641 if you wanna be precise about it. And there are 427 comments.
And unless my math is wrong (which it may be… I make no claims to mathematical greatness though I did score a 102 on my last math test) (that’s me bragging), that means that for every 1 person who commented 13 were actually here.
So yeah.
Demographic study. Serves two purposes:
(1) I’m curious,
(2) OMG WORDPRESS ADDED POLLS AND I AM LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE TO USE THEM!!
Here goes…
Info for your infometer: a HUGE number of people get to my blog by searching for “real aliens.” Which I think is pretty awesome.
PS. If you are stalking me – my page stats only show me how many people there are and how they got to my blog. Google, other blogs, etc. So I really don’t know if anyone from my real life is stalking me or not.
Aliens aliens aliens real live aliens I can prove they exist! (Sorry guys; just trying to get more awesome google hits from people looking for aliens.)
Okay thank yous!! No seriously. Thank you. That was fun, wasn’t it? I thought so.
*Oh also, I think I’m done using song titles as post titles. I need to come up with my own.

I didn’t know what to vote for about how we know each other. Because we met in real life, but your communication is through the internet! I voted “real life,” but really it is both.

I voted that I’m stalking you but I’m really not.
I’m not really sure where you live in California but I’ve always assumed that you live in the same area as Chiada.

ergh..you probably have more comments than i do. You just confused me lol..w/ the math thingy coz i’m never good in that.
Anyway, please please please please please…put in a sidebar so i can see the archives (I’ve not been here in a while and would love love love to read your previous post ^_^)
How often do you check the blog?
Just got back here after a couple of weeks of not going (where’s the sidebard?)
Do we know each other?
I don’t think so.
I live in…
The Philippines ^_^
I don’t comment because…
Well before I comment here a lot and then one day when I came to this blog the sidebar was gone and it was so depressing I couldn’t stand not reading the previous post so I stopped going…and then..after some millions of years I decided to go back coz u know Jordyn has a very interesting blog and then still (after millions of years) the sidebar is still not there…
wehhh…
Hey Jordyn! ^_^

I live in Tennessee! And I usually check the blog whenever I’m at my blog (or whenever you say that you posted on Twitter).

I do have a question about your math. Are you sure that the 5,000+ hits are individual hits and not just repeats? Let say that I visited 10 times – does that count as 10 hits or just one? Because I visit a lot but I don’t comment every time I visit and I’m sure that messes with the statistics.

Jocelyn – Ah yes, we are an enigma. Ha I say we know each other in real life… even though we only met that once…
Webster12 – There IS a sidebar. It’s only on the front page, not on individual blog posts. Can you not see it? OH BUT YAY FOR BEING BACK!!
marmiteandtea – Ha thanks. I think most of the people who responded to the poll are my commenters. So that’s… yeah…
Megan – I heart Twitter. So. Much.
Hannah – Oh! Good point about the math… yeah it counts repeats, so you’re right. The ACTUAL math would be much more complicated…
