Today is a record day on the blog for both visits and page views. Due to my day job, I am an online marketer who specialises in Database driven marketing, I tend to obsess over my stats.

So was today down to my wit? Was it down to my fiction? Was it down to my strange compulsion to try and meet successful authors? Was it buggery…

It was down to me tagging the last post with the name “Orlando Bloom”. It has soured the moment somewhat.

This disappointment is not least because it means today is also the day with the highest bounce rate (single view visit) meaning I may have inadvertently spammed a number of Bloom fans who were expecting something more focussed on him.

Good thing I’m not mentioning him again…
