Visitor Maps and Thanks to ClustrMaps
I created this Blog on April 5 by copying the various postings from a web site I had on line that nobody ever found. It was called News From Ogden Point. I had linked the page from my various other pages and submitted it to listings and still no one seemed to find it.
I copied the information from the various pages on that site into this blog in sequential order with the original dates as page titles. Once the Blog has been running for long enough to archive some of them they won't all appear on the opening page.
The results of using this more public forum were immediate -- I started getting hits on my counters, referrals to my other pages from here, and subscriptions to the update service. People are finding the BLOG.
The very first "Comment" posted to the BLOG was within hours of the first posting. It was from the ClustrMaps Team who administer the visitor map system on my site. Click here to see the Comment. I would like to thank them for the comments and the upgrade. You can see the results in the thumbnail map here. The thumbnail map is the one from the Cards From Ogden Point site and if you click it, it will take you to the ClustrMaps map for that site. If you click on the various continents on the map, you can see the zoom effect. The map itself shows where my visitors come from. I am very happy with the map service -- and I am also very happy to see all the red dots on the map -- from all over the world. (Remember that the site runs from a computer in my living room -- it isn't a major commercial WebServer.)
Click here for my Map Index with the other maps for comparisons.
I am also adding a ClustrMap to the left panel of this BLOG on its own account. It will take a while for the map to fill up like the Cards From Ogden Point one is.
If any webmasters are interested in the ClustrMap for their own sites, either contact me or contact the folks at ClustrMaps directly I'm not the least bit afraid to recommend their service.
Click here for some customization I have done to that page.
If you want a comparative service, the folks at gvisit.com have also provided me with good service -- for a different style of product.

I have added a map and a link from them for this page too.

The reason I have done the custom displays is so that I can see the numbers of visitors who visit the maps for my sites along with the rest of the pages in the site.
