IdentityStuff Facts & Metrics

I was recently catching up on doing some analytics on my blog and looking at visits and referrers, etc. and I thought I would share some data for those of you who emailed me asking - Who reads this stuff anyway?

My privacy policy is simple - I look at high level vist data. I could care less who you are, or who you work for. I want to know if the blog is being read, and whether or not my views are adding value to our industry. It also points to the domination of Google for search
