Ten years blogging: Statistics and keep writing!

Actually, this year is the ninth year after I started to blog in 2007. But, if 2007 is counted, this year is the tenth. You can see the difference after nine-year with my somewhat seven years old blog. For a comparison, you can read the review and statistics of my seven-year blogging here (for this blog, in Indonesian language).

Writing, in my current life, is just a hobby to get benefit in my spare time. Although working in manufacturing industry, I keep writing to keep my mind open to the world. I write for fun, at least till now. I write on wide area, from engineering as my basic to the social theme. In engineering, I wrote about computer science and open-source projects. Tweaking my laptop is another activity to get done on holiday. When I found a problem with my laptop, I tried to solve it. Breaking it repeatedly till I got the solution. Then, when I got it, I write it in my blog from the scratch. That is interesting. That makes me feel lively in this life.

Statistic of pageviews until August 2016

Another activity I did when I have time is traveling. Traveling to other places is very amazing. Meet new people, meet new culture, new scenery and foods! All of them are too dear to just let it gone. I take a picture from my journey and write it. I tell about my journey to the people by my writing. It is very enjoyable, isn't it...?  Sometimes I wrote about something around me. When I am attending a speech, I make a small note and publish it on this blog. The result? Wow! Ten years of blogging have reached 291998 pageviews with monthly visitors of about 7413/month. Compared to three years ago, these statistics surprised me. In 2014 the peak of monthly visitors was 4454 pageviews, but after it, it is exponentially rising up. The current peak pageviews were 13335 in October 2015.

Nothing I expected from this statistic of this free blog. I am just trying to learn from the number, implementing some search engine optimization and it works! What I want to get is the benefit by sharing in this blog, for me and for you. That's all, keep writing & keep sharing.
