Every morning before I go to my 6 AM men's prayer group at Harvest Time Church I don't and stop and reflect on what's going on in Greenwich and the world, no I log on to my Google analytics account and spend 15 or 20 minutes examining all of Greenwich Roundups Web Traffic Reports.
The desperate, the hurting, the needy and sick people of Greenwich and the World who are crying out for justice and intersession must wait until I have logged on to Google's Web Statistic Servers.
Even though Greenwich Roundup has a meager audience it is still a continually growing audience.
I remember 9 to 10 months ago looking everyday to see if I had more than 100 visitors that day. Currently, we have a range between 650 and 850 visitors per day.
a day or two each weak we will have 900 plus visitors, but on Weekend especially Fridays we ca go as low as 500 some.
For a least six weeks I have rushed woke up thinking today is the day that we will go over 1000, but that day never seemed to come.
One day a couple of weeks ago 984 visitors came.
I was so mad at myself when I got 984 visitors, maybe if I had just found one more piece of Greenwich news and posted it I could gotten 16 more visitors.
One night about three or four weeks a go that I got 6 emails of pictures of water causing damage inside the "NEW" 30 Million Dollar Hamilton Avenue school and I was sure that I was going to blast through that 1000 visitor ceiling.
I was close, but there was no cigar that day.
Later I told myself you should have released those photos on email a day and not have blown the whole wad in one day, but then I said to myself no that would have been wrong just to sit on some of the photos for five or six days.
What do you think I am some cowardly reporter like Greenwich Time Reporter Niel Vidgor who sits on a binder of fake Greenwich Beach passes, because he is afraid to expose big shots in Old Greenwich.
Then I was sent a email copy of a Board Of Education's paniced email that Mike "Hotmail" Boden had sent from London reacting to the release of images Hamilton Avenue Pictures in Greenwich Roundup, that showed the conditions that he and Frank Mazza had been hiding from the parents and taxpayers of Greenwich.
Surely this was going to blast me though the 1000 visitor ceiling at Greenwich Roundup.
Again, close, but no cigar.
And Frankly, I can't tell you why we hit 1036 visitors yesterday.
Was it the discussion over Joe "The Censor" Pisani, the press release that SEC sent about Greenwich resident Michael that the Greenwich Time ignored, was it the rant about how Feds should not bailout Greedy Wall street guys that live in Greenwich, etc., etc.,
Who knows there really was not nothing special or sensational on Greenwich Roundup yesterday. I did not even get a chance to do the raw Greenwich Blog feed that has links to all the other Greenwich Bloggers and Citizen journalist's yesterday.
In fact, there were only six posts.....

09/25/08 Greenwich Time News Links For Thursday
It looks like that the Greenwich Roundup is just naturally gaining more and more regular visitors that want to know what is going on in Greenwich.
and it looks like Greenwich Roundup will naturally grow where their are routinely over 1000 visitors who are very involved and concerned about what is going on in Greenwich.
I am beginning to wonder how the Greenwich citizen, the Greenwich Post and the Greenwich Time's web traffic compares to Greenwich Roundup.
These Greenwich mainstream news sites don't share these numbers with their readers and /or advertisers.
I have said it for months here at Greenwich Roundup, that if all the citizen journalists like Bill Clark, Chris Fountain Greenwich Diva, Greenwich Guy, Sarah Littman joined together they would rocket past the other so-called mainstream news websites in Greenwich.
And if we added daily photos about Greenwich from Lauren at the Blonde Excue's you would probably have so many daily visitors that the website would become the true voice of Greenwich.
There would probably be so many visitors that the website could be monetized to the point that it had paid citizen journalists.
Ka Ching ..... Ka Ching ..... Ka Ching !!!!!!
But this is not going to happen, because organizing independent Greenwich Bloggers into a news gathering team would be like herding a bunch of cats down Putnam Avenue.
But just to be safe the three mainstream news papers should hire these journalists and photographers and make them wage slaves, before they combine their individual Greenwich web site traffic and put the so-called mainstream news websites out of business.
The good news is I can stop being a daily web stat whore for a while and start trying to be a better and more professional citizen journalist.
But once the daily visitor statistics start to approach 2000 visitors a day.....
Then it will once again be time for the

It is my understanding that the Greenwich Time and the Stamford Advocate have lost a considerable amount of weekday sales in Greenwich during the last three years.
There is a reason that the publisher of the Greenwich Time doesn't promote only the Greenwich Time's circulation numbers in Greenwich.
And there is a reason why the web stats of just the
Greenwich Time's web page are not ever published.
