Alas, His Grace has nearly fallen off the bottom of your table.
This is curious, when his own unique visits now number (a modest) 35,000, which is 132% up on last October.
Shalom.
Out of curiosity, what proportion of your hits come from Google search?
I think Tom Harris is likely to surpass those figures next month judging by the hits he is getting at the moment.

So you get fewer readers than Nadine?
No idea, although I doubt it. If she doesnt use Google Analytics there is no way of knowing.

I realise it's good to have a high number of visitor's to your site. It flatters you and attracts adverising.
But you must be aware that a large number of posts are from Labour trolls, which is irritating, to say the least, for conservative readers.
Can you not delete some of these pests, or will it affect the profitability of your blog?
I'm not sure how people who comment can affect profitability! Indeed, I'm not sure how one would define profitability in this context anyway!
Iain, you say absolute uniques are up slightly but the number you give in the post for October is the same as for September. Typo?
Mark, thanks for alerting me. The figure is 67,764, so 300 up on September. I have now corrected it.
"lord tebbit buggery"
You got me bang to rights.
Nadine says she gets 800,000, surely she must be mistaken?
Is Shane Greer really gay?
