Dale got a lot of traffic from publishing long lists of links to other sites which got him reciprocal traffic. This month Guido will probably beat him.
Guido is averaging something like a third of million visitors a month this year.
Few political blogs get anywhere near the kind of unique visitors that we do - Political Betting, ConservativeHome, Slugger O'Toole, Polling Report are probably the only ones to get in the region of quarter of million unique readers a month.

Guido, your blog is not good enough. That is why you don't have enough traffic.
I have as many as 4 unique visitors a day and sometimes 100 a month!!
Thats not too bad is it?

IP address and cookies, innit.
Being a lazy sod I read this from work, work site 2, and home, and I have 3 different PCs in the house, each of which could be running a different operating system at any time.
Extrapolating from a sample of 1, your stats are wrong by a large factor. Same as everyone else, though.

Indygate visitors all links from MSM sites, ironically, I guess?
October's politically turbulent month was a record for ConservativeHome. The site received 298,834 unique visitors (up 20% on last month's 248,374 and up 75% on last October). There were 697,797 page reloads (up 11% on last month's 626,555 and up 34% on last October).

Guido, you are charged with finding each and every individual, naming and shaming and then leading the campaign to have them sacked.
Get on with it, no more drooling over stat porn.

Penfold @ 11.39: I assume you are not hypocritical enough to be posting from work (although it is just possible you are posting from overseas).
So here's my advice: tear yourself away from your PC, have a shower, get dressed and fuck off down to the JobCentre. You'll feel so much better.

Careful, Guido, your update is in danger of providing the impression that you give a fuck !
Indeed it could be spun as being a sign that you are seriously rattled !
These figures are all probably wildly over-optimistic. It's just a "my dick is bigger than yours and I can *prove* it" thing.
And if ConHome has 300,000 visitors why is it always the same dreary old couple of dozen who ever comment on anything? Same goes for other blogs, they're like 6th form debating societies.
>I doubt the inclusion of Polling Report in your list, but apart from that the figures look OK.
>Which shows how little you know.
Obviously you have all the Messagespace ad data Guido - which I don't get to see.
Let me clarify the comment: on Polling Report there are two resources - the blog and the databases. I wouldn't count the database traffic as "blog". Of course - no idea how it breaks down between the two.
But - as you say - you have the data.

Ol' Bluenose has established a reputation as the world's greatest blogger, but this is not borne out by his own effort.
Moderation always on, hours between updates and the vast majority of posts faithfully reflecting the official Tory line.
He is fatally compromised by his desire to become a Tory MP.
I have had a word, but will he listen?

The writing is on the well, Guido, and the spikes are being prepare for Westminster Bridge . . .
This blog is a compilation of Stanislav's Rants as they appear on Guido. It is neither operated nor sanctioned by him. If you don't like it, don't come back.
So is Dale getting more popular -
or it is just that you are haemorrhaging readers -
Or is it a little bit of both?

Nothing to do with Dale's lists.
More content, more juicy gossip please.

Not bad stats. I think Dale gets the entire tory party to subscribe to his blog though. He did run for a seat once no?
