HAPPY NEW YEAR! News Blog Stats for 2021 and for ALL OF TIME!! Thanks for the VIEWS ...
For 2021, rather surprisingly the USA pipped the UK as the country that viewed my little NEWS BLOG the most ... When I last did this in 2018, the UK was number one visitor with Russia in second spot and the USA back in third. As you can see this year Germany have kept the faith being constantly around 4th or 5th spot. A few surprises with this years stats was the emergence of Belgium and Indonesia and that Australia had all but disappeared, I hope I haven't done anything the to offend my Aussie viewers!!
When looking in further depth, I'm always very surprised where those views come from in terms of the REST OF THE WORLD ... as far a field as Peru, Sweden, Turkey, Poland, Argentina, New Zealand, Ukraine, Brazil, Japan and Romania ... I'm more than certain that a certain sheep will have provided my blog with regular visitors over the last 5 or 6 years! I THANK YOU ALL MOST SINCERELY for POPPING OVER for WHATEVER REASON!!
PLEASE HAVE YOURSELVES A GREAT 2022!!
