Hmmm….

I’m not sure what’s happened in Korea (that’s the name for Korea in Hangul and Hanja characters in the title, incidentally), but they appear to have discovered SL Naturist, big time!

I don’t kid myself. This is a niche blog. It’s dedicated to a specific lifestyle played in an online game that is, itself, niche. Farmville, it ain’t!

So I am quite satisfied with the traffic we pull in each day, from around the globe. Our audience trickles, in the main, in an upwards direction. Some days are better than others, but I don’t pay huge amounts of attention to the viewing figures. We get feedback, and I know there are readers who enjoy what we write, photograph and pass on to you.

It was therefore a surprise, a shock, even, to discover that yesterday we attracted 8x our previous ever biggest audience, and probably about an 800% rise on our daily average. Almost all of it from Korea.

And today those viewing figures are still huge. Not yet at yesterday’s peak, but alarmingly large for my usual expectations.

As I say, I’ve no indications of why this should be, but for each and every one of those visitors from Korea, and indeed from wherever you are around the globe, I say thank you, and welcome. I hope you can find something of interest here.

Such a huge rise in an audience has set my mind to thinking that we need to think about providing some sort of translation tool on the blog, a development I alluded to in an earlier post. It’s not going as well as I had hoped! 🙂 but I’ll continue to work on that, in the knowledge we’ve an audience for whom Korean script, Cyrillic and Arabic might be useful.
