Red Sports managed to set a new record for readers in May 2009 with 74,177 readers (absolute unique visitors), according to Google Analytics.
If you are a regular reader, thanks for helping us achieve those numbers. We really appreciate it very much.
I started this blog site in February 2007 and I remember being quite happy if 200 people read it a day. How things have changed.
There is nothing more discouraging than writing an article and having nobody read it.
The headline of a New York Times article, Blogs Falling in an Empty Forest*, captures the existential angst of all bloggers everywhere.
According to the NYT article:
Richard Jalichandra, chief executive of Technorati, said that at any given time there are 7 million to 10 million active blogs on the Internet, but "it's probably between 50,000 and 100,000 blogs that are generating most of the page views." He added, "There's a joke within the blogging community that most blogs have an audience of one."
According to the same article, a 2008 survey by Technorati indicates that only 7.4 million out of 133 million blogs tracked were updated in the past 120 days.
“That translates to 95 percent of blogs being essentially abandoned, left to lie fallow on the Web, where they become public remnants of a dream — or at least an ambition — unfulfilled,” writes the author.
Red Sports is more than a dream, with real people stepping up to make this site tick.
Over the months and years, many like-minded Singaporeans have stepped up to help me out with writing, shooting and editing. I couldn’t have done it without them.
Our mission? To tell a Singapore sports story because this is where we grew up.
While we can be number one in many things – airport, airline, port, finance, governance – there is a magical quality about a winning sports team that wears the nation’s colours.
Red Sports exists to encourage the dream of a Singapore triumph on the field of play.
Red Sports. Always Game.
