Time for the ol' blog to grow up a little...

As some of you know, in addition to this blog, I also contribute to another blog, Progressive Wave's AZ-05 (think: 'all Harry Mitchell, all the time'). On that site is something that heretofore has not been needed on this site. A site meter to measure traffic.

I have gotten into the habit of checking it regularly, not so much for the number of visits but for the characteristics of the visitors. One of the many things that I have learned (not that it was any surprise!) is that most of the visitors find the site through Google searches for something about Harry Mitchell or one of the issues that he has worked on (lots of hits over the Walter Reed/VA medical care mess).

On Saturday, there was a very interesting visitor. From the Visit Detail page (emphasis mine):

So who says that Bush'$ war isn't about Halliburton'$ bottom line? FYI -Kellogg Brown & Root is one of Halliburton's subsidiaries.

Now for the important question -

Anybody know a good site meter...make that a free good site meter? That's all that the blog budget can afford. :))

Later!
