WELCOME TO ELEVEN MILE CREEK. Thanks for visiting us. We hope to use this blog to bring news, views, nuggets and musings, some serious, some lighthearted, but all to do with all things associated with Ned Kelly.
I am just wondering why this individual post over all the other 95 posts here as well as the homepage itself is getting so many hits (and mainly from the USA)? In the past week it has gotten 266 views just for this post (not counting hits on the eleven mile creek homepage seeing it). Considering all the original research and writing we have done that has not gotten that type of action per individual post (such as coming from google or a link) it really has me stumped! Not that I am complaining about those who are discovering us and are getting their Ned Kelly information here, it just has been a bit of baffling mystery to me!
ReplyDeleteForgot to add that we usually get just under 200 hits a week total for individual posts and the Eleven Mile Creek homepage combined (a drop in the bucket compared to the bigger Kelly sites..but I guess we are going for quality not quantity?), so you can see why I am wondering!
