In early March the numbers were mirroring the level of hits I was getting for most of February. However in the last 10 days or so of March visits have increased daily. It would seem the Daniel Hannan story, and my Jury Team profiles have drawn additional readers.
In March I had 2,325 visits, up 853 or 57.8%. Of these visits 1,249 were absolutely unique visitors up 373 or 42.5%. Page views for March were 3,521, an increase of 1,009 on February or 40.1%.

Thanks to everyone for visiting, I hope you like what you see here, and I am always open to feedback. The Wikio rankings seem be be 7-10 days into a new month, I am not expecting to move up there, as it is based on referral links which though I have not measured seem imho a little down on February. Staying approx where I am and gradually moving up is my aim on that score.

Well done Dan. I tend to visit you via Twitter as you're one of the few favourites I have who tweets. Didn't think it would come through as Twitter for some reason.
Am I daft? It's fine to say yes.
Wikio is hard for us Scottish bloggers. Our readers are obviously a much smaller percentage than the readers of England based blogs like Guido and Dale. Never mind, we have our readership and I like mine :)
Thanks Subrosa
On the analytics it shows all visitors as visitors via Twitter, so I can't see who it is, just that I have had x visits via Twitter and on which days. And no you are not daft.
I also like your blog, and I quite like the Scottish blogs that I link to. I do not always know the background for some of the articles that I read, but I find quite a bit of interest in general. But I read lots of blogs, as I like to read lots of different points of view.
Did Dan help you out with the Wikio set up as per his offer? Not sure what to do there... Is there a group blog for Scottish Bloggers ?
You could have something like LPUK where a group of Scottish Bloggers could co-ordinate and post both to their own blogs and to a central blog... that would give the original blogs extra links and might attract a wider audience (Just a thought).
Just FYI, I had 18 hits from your blog in March which if I extended the top ten would have put you in 14th. Thanks for linking to me :0)
Congrats Dan. That's really good going. You've got a content rich site which is clearly getting you the hits you deserve. Well done :-)
Ah stat porn, just don't tell Jacqui.
Congratulations, lol i did a bit on Nikosratose (a fellow blogger) when his blog went missing and ever since im receiving about 3 or 4 hits a day by people looking for Niko spanking.
