Page views for this
month (ie the last 4 days!) are quite interesting. What would be even more
interesting is if 1% of those doing the viewing bought a book from the Black
Tower store or even helped support the blog,.
Anyway, since the
Peoples Republic of China stopped access to many sites, the new big viewing
crowd tends to be the United States and Russia.

Bit weird that
Ukraine isn't showing up in these stats since normally it rivals or saome times
exceeds views from Russia. Yes, the UK has had a sudden spurt of interest
in the blog. Germany and France are always in the top ten daily visiting countries.
Japan there was been a surge of views from -sorry, I've been listening and
reading German again: there have been a surge of views from Japan lately, too.
You'll
also notice Portugal and Romania providing views. One country I have noticed
more and more in stats is the United Arab Emirates. Canada I feel always
adds a fair balance! 😃
It's always
interesting to see how views by countries varies over the blogs. After shutting
all but this one and Black Tower Comics & Books there is only one blog I
can compare views with...have you guessed which one yet?
Black Tower Comics
& Books (1-4 Sept)

Interesting. Russia
has appeared in the views list before but as this covers just 4 days it's
possible there have not been enough views to count. Blogger has a very odd
system because I know that
there are views from Australia and New Zealand but we see Australia rarely and
New Zealand, I think, once.
I ought to point out
that Blogger's owners, Google, do not like any operating system or platforms
that it does not own. Google can create problems for other systems and their
name interest is money-making not making the world a freer place. So politics
also kick in. But I went into all of this several years ago and it is all quite
open a 'secret' so why bore again?
There were regular
views from Hong Kong and I believe there were some last week. Singapore seems
to be remaining a constant source of views.
But what does this
all mean? Let's have a look at CBOs all-time views which will be constantly
changing -the UK was never ever in the top 5 before (buy some books!):

See? Ukraine. Which
means I was right: just not many views from there in the past few days. Now
compare them to BTC&Bs all time blog views.

First thing I
notice, and since I normally don't check stats this surprises me, the new
BTC&B blog was re-launched this year there have been a total of 50, 246
views. Again, 1% of them buying books and I'd be reasonably happy!
"Unknown
Region" is a place Google does not recognise....People's Republic of
China.
Since CBO does not
get involved in politics and there is no "sexual content" -CBO caters
for a universal audience- it is seen as a "safe" blog. Hence CBO gets
a truly global audience which, obviously, does get certain cliques very angry
(jealous). There is a zero tolerance toward buillying or general nastyness when
it comes to comments. You can comment freely and not worry about it.
One thing I note is
that the CBO All Time total figures are odd. The Highest number of views should
be first but only some are. Also, there appear to be two sets of Blogger
viewing stats -I only discovered that 5-6 years ago. What you see above are the
views by countries breakdown but the secondary stats are displayed without a
country-by-country break up. This may be why Australia and New Zealand do not
appear yet they have provided more views than some of the lower placed
countries. The other figure shows CBO view just under
8 million.
As I noted before, I
dropped "The UK's" from the Black Tower banner for the simple reason
that it did not reflect the audience out there. And the good thing is,
that because of Print On Demand, anyone in any place in the world can order books
and have them printed in their own region so all prices/postal charges are
local.
I'll make a deal
with you: 2% of the current CBO readership buys a Black Tower book -even the
lowest priced ones,- CBO will continue into 2021.
To the global CBO
readership -and those who visit the BTC&B blog -thank you for dropping by
but please consider
visiting the Black Tower online store! Thank you.
