With Willisms having recently blown past the 400,000 site visit threshold, we broke with our usual policy of ignoring our own site traffic statistics and realized that yesterday, Political Calculations passed the 50,000 mark!
Our 50,000th visitor found Political Calculations came to us from Canada through a random search. Literally. Here's the screen shot to prove it:
That's pretty remarkable! Especially so since, looking over our other recent international traffic indicates that the most common way people overseas are finding Political Calculations in recent days is by searching specifically for "Mazen al-Tumeizi" (suggesting that there may be a degree of anti-U.S. fan-flaming going on since this reporter's death in Iraq is pretty old news).
Interesting.
