Prowling Sheep - folie à plusieurs since 2007 (part 2 of 2)

Like we said in the last post, we shattered our goal of 2,000 site hits for last year. Want to know by how much? In fact, we met our goal in February, 5 months early! Last year's total hits was 4,683 (Grand total over the years is 7,700). If you want to know what that looks like you only need to look below.

(a.k.a. a little more clustering leading to fewer, bigger dots.)

Okay, so that is where we are at. Now, where do we want to go? Well, as you may have noticed, the map located on the right side column has started over in dots and in counting. So we are basically back to square one. This year we figured we would go crazy and up the stakes again. Everything that was counted, that can be counted, will be counted. We set our goals high with the hopes of getting 125% more site hits, more counties viewed in, more followers, and of course 125% more posts.

What? Too easy? Well if it is too easy for you, than we're on board to go for 150% more! Let's see where that goal takes us.

Are you wondering why we set goals? I know a few people have told us they are. Well, we set goals to keep the sheep motivated to share and to hopefully entertain you. Are you entertained? We hope so, because we sure are.

Let us know what you think. Please, feel free to comment. We don't bite...hard (except D.J.) Or email us at sheep.4225sc@gmail.com. We're always looking for more friends, new ideas/suggestions, and good stories. Here's to a new year with hopes of many great adventures to share with many wonderful friends. Now go make that map look sick with chicken pox!

Hmmm, I missed the part about 67 posts. Crazy sheep!!

How am I going to get my therapy if they are always posting. I make these sheep work hard.

Feels like every Hong Kong visitor sent you facebook invite...

Justin - You make Aerin and Taylor work way too much. I haven't heard from them in ever. Don't you know that with hard work should come lots of play.

Cult - Ya I got a lot of Facebook request. Unfortunately, Erin says that I can't have Facebook. She is lame like that.

It is really amazing to meet so many friends around the World. I couldn't imagine when I started my own blog, that so many people would visit it.
Congratulations again :))

nice...at least you didn't put hawaii as a separate country...though it would have been amusing. :D

John said...

Only 9 visits from New Zealand? There are tons of sheep there. I think a field trip may be in order.

Erin said...

Good point, John. I think we need to leave as soon as possible.
