Carnival Crowd

As noted here before, participating in popular blog carnivals is a good way to market your blog. But, Dear Reader, the real kicker is hosting one. Yesterday the Tangled Bank carnival opened here. Look at the daily unique visitors stats for 1-19 July to the right.

But I shouldn't kid myself. These readers follow the carnival, and they don't care much where it's hosted as long as it appears on time. But even if only 0.5% of the carnival visitors stay on as regular readers, it would mean a significant increase in the blog's readership. And most of these new regulars would be Americans, that is, furriners.
