So I am hosting this website on a garbage web host. I always like having data on an external system / host under my control, and only used blogger to power it on a whim.

Since I hosted this site on a crap host it has fairly low bandwidth limits. I host a variety sites under one account for like $10 a month. This past month I had to pay extra because this site ate a ton of bandwidth. I find that sorta odd because some of my other sites do not eat much more and I work on some of them many hours a day.

If you are new to the web, or do not know much about the underlying systems, you not only can look at your bandwidth, but what some of the top referers are.

As a marketer that data is great for some of my other sites. On this site it turns out I have been eating a large part of my bandwidth with the fruity stripes gum picture.

I also found it interesting that about a dozen different blogs and forums sent a bunch of visitors to this site last month. Some of the leading search terms: fatty, zebra gum, weight loss blog, fruit stripes, & low carb.

About 100 people a day come to this site and yet no comments. I guess part of that is probably due to my frequency (or lack of frequency) of posting. I think it is interesting how many people watch reality TV and the like and that few people comment on things which they may unless others set the standard or show an example by commenting. At which point many people comment. Not here. Not now. Though. hehehe
