Blog Update #4 - 500 Hits and 40 Subscribers!

So I hit a pretty big milestone yesterday and got my 500th hit! I know it is nothing compared to popular blogs out there, but I'm trying to generate content and traffic as best as I can and the little steps make me happy. As my daily hits increase, I am getting more and more "random hits" from Google who are looking up terms like "top issues in today's world" and "issues today" (these search topic and similar ones are the most popular links from Google to my blog)

I have had people find my blog throughout the world including countries like England, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, China, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, The Philippines, and even the small country of Lesotho! Out of all of the readers, 40 people have subscribed to the blog and get a regular feed feed of Meaningful Issues in Today's World.

It makes me really happy that people are finding and reading the blog, not only because there are so many important issues, but because it really does take a lot of effort (3-5 hours) to produce a blog that doesn't just regurgitate the news or post a link. I want to give my readers a synthesis and analysis of the top meaningful issues in today's world and won't compromise my content just to get better search engine results.

When I see the blog hits I get excited because it means that people want to educate themselves and take action. If you missed any of the action, I've posted some of my more popular posts from the first two months below.
