10,000 blog views oh yeaahhhh

It's a Sunday/Bank Holiday so I will take a day off from brain activity. However, I did want to have a post just celebrating my achievement of 10,000 blog views!

 I started this blog in July 2011 and it has been a great platform for me to speak, show my work and motivate myself. When I first thought of getting a blog I thought perhaps it was too late to start, but my friend told me to just get on with it rather than waste time worrying about whether I should have one or not.

STATS! 

  • In the past 23 months I have written 85 posts. 
  • The top-read posts of all time have been 'Disney's Top Hottest Males'- 471 views, 'Facebook Funnies' - 321 views, Pussy is for Women' - 270 views, and 'Chelsea FC's new kit ad' - 175 views.
  • Most of my audience have been from the UK totalling at 5494 views, closely followed by the US who made up 2228 of the views. Other random places my blog has been viewed are Germany, Russia, France, Latvia, Italy and Canada. 
  • 48% of people viewed my blog on a Windows, 25% viewed it on a Mac, and 15% on an iPhone. with Firefox and Chrome being the browsers of choice.
  • Most of my traffic came from Google, followed by Facebook, Twitter, and my Single Creatives profile, although I had a lot of links to my blog from very random sites such as Film Hill and On Time Marketing. 
  • The most popular keywords typed in Google that made my blog appear in search results are 'embarrassing nightclub photos', 'robin hood disney' and 'jaguar drawing'

So there we have it! If anyone is thinking of starting a blog/website then stop thinking about it and just do it. It's easy to build (although I would recommend Wordpress over Blogspot) and it's easy to track your progress.
I am thinking of writing a post soon about how to build a website as I know all the help forums are not helpful whatsoever. I will explain it in the most basic way and it will hopefully make the prospect of building a website seem like less effort and a lot less daunting - hopefully I'll help you get to 10,000 views too!

Happy Days!

Self-promotional Charity

So, the Ice Bucket challenge. I'm sure we all have our own feelings about it. exactly. In my opinion, this year has been a bit of a charity showcase what with the "no make up" and "cock in a sock" selfies. Social media is a great way of raising awareness, however you have to admit that along with the do-gooding, there is an egotistical, attention-seeking element to it - just like everything else that gets posted on a social media site This kind of self-promotion charity works so well and is fantastic for raising awareness, but a reported half of Brits who did the Ice Bucket Challenge did not donate to the ALS charity.... this is my surprised face And now with news coming out that out of $10million raised, only an apparent 14% goes towards the fundraising, everyone is acting shocked like this is BRAND NEW INFORMATION! Come on, every charity has staff, overheads, admin bills - if you have a problem with it (those who actually donate), then why don...

Disney's top hottest males

If you are new to my blog, I feel I must clarify that this is my first post of this... variety. I usually talk about ads or marketing or amazing things I've done, but a recent conversation about how hot Simba from the Lion King was, sparked a lot of thinking on my part about attractive animated characters. So much so, that I felt compelled to share my conclusions with you. So, in no particular order and subject to change, here goes... 1. Simba - Lion King Quoting my friend from the aforementioned conversation, 'I think it's his hair; it's all messy and sexy.' So, could it be the tousled hair that makes Simba so irresistible? Is it his playful smile? Or perhaps his goal-orientated nature and eagerness to be king? Whatever it is, he is one hot cub. *NB. Simba's hotness is strictly confined to his childhood years. When he walks over that log and sings himself into adulthood he loses all appeal.  2. Prince Eric - The Little Mermaid D...

Facebook Funnies

My last few posts have been pretty text-heavy, so i thought I'd provide some light relief with some photos that are on some of my favourite Facebook groups. I don't really like to join Facebook groups, I find that you're always bombarded with notifications and your newsfeed looks a mess (I like mine to look neat and aesthetically pleasing). Badly Stuffed Animals: Dog shaming: (this is actually a tumblr/website, but just had to share) Embarrassing Nightclub Photo of the Week: I'm a Creative:
