A Dangerous Post - Show Yourself

I've been holding off on this post for a while, but I think it's time. Today I received this comment on one of my posts...


From kylelantz
i'm just writing to thank you. today i found out that the highest majority of my blog traffic comes from your site...you are a high traffic guy! where do people come from to your site?

H
e asks a valid question. Now, I recognize I'm daring to spit in the face of the anonymity that makes the blogworld such an enjoyable place... but here we go, if you stop by and read this post, I ask you to SHOW YOURSELF!

Show yourself Winter Park, Florida.
Show yourself Danbury, Connecticut.
Show yourself Findley, Ohio.
Show yourself Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.


Even if you think I know you, and you've left a comment before... go ahead and comment on this stating.

1. Name.
2. Where You From.
3. How did you find the blog?
4. What brings you here?

The goal here is to help me be less insecure; just been a little curios.

*edit* - Thanks for the 1st comment Dan. To clarify, I'm looking for any and every visitor, not just the cities above.

Bold move DP- I like it... Presumably you are looking for everyone, not just the four cities you listed, so here goes:
1. Dan Erickson
2. Lexington, KY
3. I can't remember how I found it the first time. Probably from stalking.
4. Curiosity brought me here, but frequent posts about stuff I'm interested in keeps me here.

Out of curiosity, what is the most surprising search term and most surprising location from which you get visitors?

4. I like to read, like to learn new things, but also try to be humble enough to learn things from someone who's been at it much longer than me.

4. If I continue to keep in touch in cyber-space, perhaps you will finally take me up on that Sizzler's dinner I owe you.

D said...

it sounds like you are proposing a sizzler substitute. hmm... i think we could work with that. as long as it has good grub.

you could even chalk it up as a 'checking in on old youth grouper/mentee' expense!
