Who is Reading OneMansBlog.com Anyway? CrowdScience Will Tell Ya!

by John P.

I guess it was about a month ago when I signed up for CrowdScience.com‘s service to see what they could tell me about the visitors to my little old blog here. And some of you may have been prompted during the last few weeks with a little popup asking you to take a survey. For those of you who participated – Thanks!

Anyway, I thought it would be fun and interesting to share some of the results of the profiles of readers here on the blog. A few statistics that I find particularly interesting are:

  • 18% of OMB readers are still in School, but over 2/3rds have attended at least some college. 40% of you actually have degrees!
  • More than half of you report that you are earning over $50,000 per year. Wow! That’s a wealthy bunch of readers!
  • 50% of you guys are over 35 years old. Obviously, the other 50% is younger. ;-)
  • About half of you are married, and 20% still live with your parents.
  • 42% of you use the Internet at LEAST 24 hours per week! Wow, that’s like a part time to full time job!

More OMB Changes

August 27, 2009

Folks, a few more changes for the old blog here today: Removed the MyBlogLog widget. Sorry, but I got sick of it slowing down the page loading time. Plus I just don’t use it any more, so it was time to go. Added new Facebook integration! Now you can log into OMB with your Facebook [...]

Changes to OneMansBlog – FEEDBACK NEEDED!

August 19, 2009

Howdy folks. I’ve made two fairly significant changes to the old blog here today, and I’m hoping to get a little feedback from you regulars as to how these are turning out. I updated my “Related Posts” plugin to use Yet Another Related Posts Plugin. Though it was a more complex install than the old [...]

200,000 Spams and Counting…

September 2, 2008

Well, looks like it only took about 3.5 weeks to bump the number of Spam responses up over 200,000. So, I hit the 100,000 mark on May 7, the 175,000 mark on August 7, and the 200,000 mark on September 2. It looks like I’m averaging about 25,000 Spam comments per month, or over 800 [...]

Spam Problem Growing – 176,000+ Caught So Far

August 7, 2008

Well, it was exactly three months ago that I shared the fact that this blog had reached the 100,000 spam mark according to the spam fighting plugin Akismet. But it looks like in the last 24 hours the count has crept up above the 175,000 mark. 76,000 spam comments in 90 days is just a [...]

Should I Allow Comments on This Blog?

August 5, 2008

Ok. Here is a question that is going to rile some people up. So, there is a site that wrote an article titled “The Best Places to Get Quality Backlinks” that lists sites for people to leave comments on for the sole purpose of increasing their Google PageRank since they get to leave a link [...]

Google Sucks Again!!!

July 9, 2008

Damn! Someone over at Google has seriously got it out for me! Why is it that just 30 days ago I reported that I was number 2 for a search for “John P.” and number 12 for the word “John“, but just today I was amusing a friend and noticed that if you search for [...]

Yet Another Man’s Blog

June 17, 2008

There seems to be a proliferation of bloggers following my lead. First there was AnotherMansBlog.com, and now there is YetAnotherMansBlog.com! What’s next? StillAnotherMansBlog.com? Why not OneWomansBlog.com? And where is OneDogsBlog.com? By the way, those blogs are probably better than mine. So you should read them too. PS – Did you see that Another Man quit [...]

John P is Number 2 on Google!

June 9, 2008

Folks, this amuses me. By the way, make note of the date. It is NOT April Fools day… Yesterday when I was on Cali’s show I randomly mentioned that I wished I was like Matt Mullenweg because if you search for Matt he comes up as the first result in Google. The last time I [...]
