My blog was WAY popular yesterday!

On Wednesday, I posted about a situation with one of the DJ's from Atlanta's Q100 radio station. Since I keep track of my blog's visitor statistics, I am able to determine how many people are viewing my blog at any given time (along with a myriad of other unique stats). This list below shows my daily list of viewers from the past week:



As you can see, on average, I get about 6 or 7 unique visitors per day. Well, one of the stats that my sitemeter tracks is the "clickthrough url". It lists the webpage you were on that provided a link to my blog. Say you happen to be searching a particular topic using Google search engine. If my blog is one of the many returned to you during your search, you can click on the link to my blog. Once you do this, I will see the search string that you entered into Google to get to my blog. Of the 166 hits I received Thursday, 160 of those were referred to my blog using the search string "Jenn Hobby Divorce". Try it now. You'll see my blog post is near the top of the search results.

This graph really shows the stark difference between my hits yesterday vs any other regular day.



Now if I could just figure out a way to maintain the interest of these visitors, maybe my plan to take over the world will finally come to fruition. *maniacal laughter ensues*

Jenn Hobby of Q100 announces divorce

This morning around 8:30am, Jenn Hobby, DJ on Q-100's "The Bert Show", made a very big announcement. Before the thousands upon thousands of people tuned in to The Bert Show this morning, she revealed that she and her husband Ryan Newell of popular band Sister Hazel have separated and are in the process of divorcing. I can't imagine what she must be going through emotionally right now.

You may know that I've been pretty critical of her in the past, even here on this blog. I've never agreed with her position on a lot of things, yet I've always thought she was a sweet girl. I hate to see anyone go through a divorce; it especially hits home when it happens to someone that you feel like you know. As Bert Weiss pointed out this morning after Jenn's announcement, the listeners and radio DJs are like a family. Even when we disagree, we still tune in every morning, and they still need our support to stay on the air.

I found an old clip of Ryan and Jenn's wedding from GetMarried TV. It is my hope that they will one day soon look back on memories from that time in their lives and recapture the love and passion they once had for one another. I wish them both the best.
