5 0 , 0 0 0 . . . BAZINGA !!
62Thursday 09 January, 2014 by Uncle Spike
Bazinga indeed my fellow bloggers and bloggees… It would seem that Uncle Spike’s Adventures has amassed a rather respectable 50,000 HITS…. that’s one milestone I thought was a year away at best! But oh no, the Spikey’s have been busy clickers this past few weeks it would seem!
So, this wee blog; this collection of ramblings and photographs from an ageing camel called Spike has now come of age…
And to celebrate this auspicious occasion, please have a slice of cake, and pat yourselves on the back – taking care not to choke on said piece of cake in the process!!

Before I go, I would just like to thank you for you support, encouragement and friendship that has grown from this little blogging venture.

I remember my first 1000 too. This post was end of August @2000 (https://unclespikes.wordpress.com/2013/08/28/gracias-thanks-tesekkur-ederim/)
I follow just a few blogs, don’t agree with ‘reciprocal follows’, but I follow what I like… simple really. Anyway, your blog is good, some quality posts there… so I’m gonna follow yours and see how it goes.
As for Hit numbers, one point… on your blog you can read full posts without clicking into each post, so immediately hat will restrict your numbers I suspect.
Uncle Spike 🙂

Thanks Ted. Still plenty to improve on, but getting there.
Just need to concentrate on followers as that is the mark of success I think. Many seem to stop by (hits), but most don’t hang around (follow). Anything that ever bugs you about this blog, don’t be afraid to shout up. Maybe it’s something I can change… often hard to see one’s own faults and all that 🙂

Nah, still following in your tyre tracks my friend (both your bikes beat mine just in 1st gear).
True perhaps about hit stats, but you have 74% more followers, and that shows who sees your stuff hangs around, whereas less of mine bite the bullet. So I still have much to learn 🙂
