Today’s the one year anniversary of Denying Thumper. It was started shortly after my fateful discovery of this thing called a “male chastity device” which, in turn, led to the discovery of the concept of orgasm denial which, in turn, led to the discovery of the idea of dominance and submission. Wow, such a lot to happen in just a year.
To observe this anniversary, I’ll borrow Steve’s idea and give you some interesting (to me, anyway) statistics:
- In the past year, this blog as received over 100,000 page views. I have to say, that blows my mind.
- Daily traffic is slowly, yet consistently rising. On the blog’s best days, nearly 1,000 might visit either directly or via a feed reader. Crazy.
- The top DT page is, by far, my CB-6000 tips & tricks.
- The most popular post is the very short “Birdlock user report” followed by “The most effective chastity device”, both thanks to the power of Google.
- Speaking of which, the most popular search term people use to find this site is anything related to the Birdlock device.
- The top referrer is, by far, Being Her Knight. That dude must be getting monster traffic since he sends me many times more visits than I send anyone else. The second best referrer is from WordPress where people are looking for – what else – posts tagged “Birdlock”.
- The top click out of DT is to Male Submission Art followed by Bend Me Over which proves people really like porn. In fact, 7 of the top 10 outbound links are to sites featuring pictures of naked people doing (sometimes) unspeakable things to one another. The other three are blogs, the most popular of which is Tom’s Edge of Vanilla.
So, as the planet is suspended in roughly the same spot in space it occupied 365 rotations ago, I am left to consider the future of the blog. I don’t know how much longer I can keep finding things to write about, to be honest. I’m not saying I’m going to stop, but how many times can I describe what is essentially the same sexual encounter over and over again? How many more words can I use to describe the effects of not coming? Of course, our relationship will continue to evolve and I’ll always be able to describe that, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep up the pace of three or so posts a week. Problem is, I’ve become so accustomed to writing that, when I don’t do it, I feel it’s absence acutely. I crave writing in the same way I crave orgasm and physical contact with Belle. In fact, when I crave those things and can’t get them, writing often proves my only outlet. I’m not sure how anyone does this without writing about it.
Hey Thumper,
You don’t have to describe the effects of not coming (although they are pretty exciting). The development of your relationship with Belle Fille is much more interesting. Keep up the eloquent writing, even if it is once a week.
Best regards.
I think I saw Tom do this a while back and decided I’d have a go when my year came around.
I hear you about describing the same thing over and over. I decided to focus less on my relationship a while back, and focus on other stuff.
And yeah, people really do like porn. I just wish porn gave them they respect they deserved, is all.
Happy anniversary! I enjoy reading your blog so much, especially because your writing makes me feel that I’m reading about real people and a real life relationship. I have no idea how you’re able to do it, but it’s rare that there’s an uninteresting post here. Well done.
Can I echo the others? I really enjoy reading your blog and hope you carry on, even if you do reduce the number of posts.
Feed the craving Thumper.
Oh, don’t worry. I’ve said things like this before with no appreciable change in the posting frequency. What I should have said (or made more clear) is that the texture of the posts will likely change. But who knows. We’re about to go on vacation for five days, so I’ll likely be right back here telling everyone about the sex we had like a horny schoolboy…
Oh, and thank you all for saying nice things about the blog. I appreciate hearing it.
Wow, you’re gonna have to tell me how you do it, I get a LOT less visits than you do. But then, I don’t write that much about male chastity, which is a big hit apparently on the interweb 😉
You know, Being Her Knight is my top referrer as well.
I’m sure you’ll keep up with blogging. When I first started, I posted almost every day, but then it slowed down until now, it’s about 2-3 times a week. So, after over a year, I still manage to write fairly regularly and do not intend on giving up, and I think you have more inspiration than I do… You’ll do just fine.
You should be getting a lot more traffic since your HNT is freakin’ awesome!
*shrug* I guess HNT doesn’t make the traffic 😉
Congratulations–you deserve the traffic. I admire the fact that you write (almost?) daily and with such openness.
