The best quarter ever – and we’re only two months into it

Posted on June 1 2023

This blog has had its best quarter, which is weird, as we have only had two months of it so far, with June still to come.

This is the data:

The massive increase in blog traffic that began in March as a result of some redesign and rethinking of blog strategy at that time continued in May, with 475,000 reads. Combined with April's 510,000 that makes this the best quarter ever in the blog's history. At this rate the rest of the year is going to be interesting.

Thanks for reading.

    Richard, I have read and appreciated your bog for several years. It’s almost worth visiting for the typos!

    It’s very understandable your blog should become increasingly popular it’s a voice of sanity after such antediluvian “blogging” as the following from the so-called progressive Guardian:-

    Brilliant stuff Richard, brilliant.

    This blog is one of my sanity points in a rather broken world.

    Hi Richard
    It’s very heartening that your message is beginning to go wider now. The more the merrier.
    Thanks.

    [“bog” ?]

    Congratulations, Richard.
    I join with my fellow commenters above who say that this is one of our “must-do” daily visits.
    Your posts keep us informed on what matters, and provide valuable space for considered responses.
    I know that annoying trolls try their worst, but the very fact that they do so is one measure of the important work you are doing.
    I salute you and all others who tell truth to power. We desperately need more.

    And a well-deserved increase.

    Congratulations from one of the people who needed educating about modern economics and accountancy.
