how did you get here?
Just a short note before I go on to post my main piece for the day. Over the weekend, I noticed that quite a few of you have “arrived” here at the Burning Silo blog by linking to it from my Magick Canoe website (this shows up on my blog stats counter). I’m curious how you may have found your way to the Magick Canoe site, and then over to my blog. Don’t be shy… I’m just curious and thought it would be interesting to know. – bev

After having written what follows I think I have a different impression of what you’re asking, so it probably doesn’t apply to me, but maybe it does, so I’ll post it anyway.
*******************
Have I arrived there this way? I often, but not always, just click on the statcounter reference on my statcounter projects page, which keeps track of visitors.
When others visit after linking *from* your site, the referring link is often magickcanoe.com.
Also, here’s what I have bookmarked, and I can’t tell you now how I acquired that.

Wayne – That’s quite interesting, but probably a different answer. I also do what you’ve mentioned — I sometimes click on whatever shows up on my BAStats counter pages for “referring pages” to see how someone arrived at my site. I usually see a few links coming from the MagickCanoe link (perhaps a couple a day), but this weekend, there were many.. probably 60 or 80 per day, and about 30 so far today. I thought that, perhaps, the URL must have appeared somewhere, but without /blog at the end of it, and then people must have clicked on the link to my blog from there. I have no idea though as my stats counter can’t tell me that. It’s no biggie, but I’m just curious how people found their way to the main site and then here — and why so many over a couple of days.

I think I found your site through another nature site like Blue Ridge Blog or A Whipoorwhill. But I did check you your Magick Canoe site too, I think.

Hello Crow – thanks for posting a reply. I guess you arrived here the way most of us do with these blogs… we just wander from one to the next while finding new ones along the way.

I got here from Wayne’s blog links or perhaps from a comment you left on his blog, so that explains why *I* get here with a magickcanoe URL. I didn’t know there was another one.

Leslie – Thanks for replying to my question. I have had a website for longer than the blog and the website has a link the people can follow to get here. I thought maybe that was where a lot of last weekend’s visitors were coming from. Sometimes my website gets mentioned somewhere and I thought perhaps that was the case this time.

I was helping my daughter make a thank you card and typed in the word “You” … looking for a clipart to borrow and on about the tenth google page was a thumbnail of an elm tree with a clealy visible gray tree frog on the branch, so I went and had a look. I teach biology. They genuinely are nice photographs.

Paul – Thanks – and thanks for leaving a note. Interesting to hear how you arrived here!
