Inspired by Jeremy, I dug up an old Facebook tag. For those of you used to expecting distinguished and profound posts from me, you’ll be so disappointed… For those of you who know me, this will assure you that I am still not distinguished and profound. I intercepted a note in 5th or 6th grade [...]

I’ll admit that I track my blog’s statistics regularly. I enjoy seeing where folks are coming from, and what they consistently read. Particularly, I tend to check the “exit page” which is the last click before they exit my blog.
The above image may look like mumbo-jumbo to you, but it tells me several things.
- The visitor was from Reno, NV.
- The visitor was a first-timer to Notes from the Trail.
- They found my blog from a Google search for “Together vs Yojimbo.” These are two productivity apps that I had happened to review a while back.
- The visitor spent 7 minutes and 5 seconds on my blog.
- The exit page (or last page they read) was a blog entry about having a love relationship with God.
Consider the stunning implications of that… A visitor was simply Googling for information about productivity applications on the Mac, found my blog on Google and ended up reading an entry I wrote about falling in love with our Creator…
And that, my friends, is why I really enjoy writing about all kinds of things – from technology to cereal to cancer to Christ. You just never know what may lead someone to the real stuff behind the fluff.

Isn’t it amazing how God can take absolutely anything and use it for his glory?

Indeed, that is cool. Would you mind sharing what tracking program that is?
