Google Analytics Brings My Blog Alive

Hi folks,

Real people, like Eric and Beatrice, come into Johnny's every day.

Life is very interesting, don’t you think? I never was much of a people person, so I retired into a life of science, and then it was over, after 40 happy years. I decided to move on, almost simultaneously embracing two different business interests, not that I knew squat about business. My two businesses are Johnny’s Gone Fishing LLC (co-owner), and Old Dogs in Training LLC (owner – which is much simpler!).

When I am at Johnny’s GF, I see people come in the door, they look around, and as a general rule express their delight that Johnny’s is back. One of my greatest pleasures is knowing that this business is creating jobs for people (a brand new experience), and providing a great environment that brings our neighborhood alive. But what about the Internet?

Real people come through the door of my blog, just as they do through the door of Johnny's Gone Fishing, and Google Analytics brings this home to me. Thanks, Google!

Online, we create many links, see traffic, respond to comments, retweet, mention, and drift back to statistics. UNTIL I tried the new version of Google Analytics, where I get to actually watch people come through my door. They arrive out of the blue, from Japan, Spain, England or the USA (and often from places I have never heard of), and they read my stuff. The odd thing is that they read old stuff, and sometimes they read it for quite a while, making me think that my online blogstore may have something to offer. And once again, this business employs people, who run the servers, design the software, fight the hackers and spammers, and create all the tools I need to run my online business.

Science was great, but this really rocks.

Thank you Johnny’s Gone Fishing and Google.
