Visits to this blog - 2009 (significant increase of visitors)

I published a stat report about this blog in February 2009, which showed 30037 unique visitors during 2008-2009. Here is the StatCounter report for 2009-2010.




There were 55,839 unique visitors, 25000 increase compared to last year. I could not write much blog posts during the last year due to frequent project releases. However which did not seem to affect my user community. This blog was started to help novice users in SOA/Web Service space and Software Quality Assurance community to share my ideas, tips and specially How-Tos. I always refrained from posting any non-technical subject matter in here. I was able to reply most of the questions raised in blog posts, however there were situations that I could not follow the comments and reply. I will try my best to continue writing much more useful blog posts and help users.

Visits to this blog

The success of this blog can easily be determined by looking at the above summarized report of visitors who accessed during the last year. I have started this blog to discuss/share my ideas on software quality assurance and my subject domain, SOA/web services. The majority of the posts were written to help users to solve simple issues which were not documented anywhere. I do not use this blog to discuss my personal life, politics etc..
I was able to build a community around my blog during the last year which encouraged me to write more and more useful posts. Sometimes, I could not maintain a consistent blog post publishing rate due to the tight project release deadlines. However, it did not affect the visits of regular user base.
With the releases of WSO2's revolutionary SOA platform, Carbon, there will be a lot of things to be demonstrated. Stay tuned.. This blog will be updated frequently with more and more how-tos..

Software is easy to make, except when you want it to do something new
