Visitors to TKL blog

I used to have 2,500 to 3,000 visitors to my blog during weekdays. This week, it increased by 50%. Why is there a sudden jump? Is someone asking other people to visit my blog?

Anonymous said...: I think the increase could be due to an article in temasekreview.com on Goh Meng Seng's plan to sell his house to raise fund for the election.

The article has a link to your earlier post regarding Goh Meng Seng's reply to your query.

Anonymous said...: Two reasons I think.
First, what is written on your TKL blog makes good sense. Readers benefited from the sharing of valuable information and experiences. It is a national treasure and a great platform for ideas exchange. Keep it up Mr. TKL.
Second, the SGP unemployed stats probably spike up after the Gov stimulus is spent and done. More are sitting at home, in front of their PCs. And their first choice is TKL's blog.

YW said...: I just found your blog recently and I find it very informative and educational.

I did put some on your interesting posting on my facebook wall which does help to increase some traffic; April 21, 2010 3:42 PM

Vincent Sear said...: From what I understand, Facebook communities are circulating messages to visit your blog, since yours is the first to publish a verified account of NSP Sec-Gen Goh Meng Seng selling his flat to raise funds for coming election.; April 21, 2010 3:59 PM

I'd suggest you install Google Analytics. This allows you to get more details on your visitors in future including
- from which websites they clicked links on to get to your articles.
- which pages they are viewing
- from which Countries they are from etc.

Here is a guide how to install it on your blog:

Minibond, Pinnicle investors:
Cases outside the USA would be more useful. UK's FSA already started formal investigation of GS. ABN Amro which lost money in the GS deal, was acquired in 2007 by the Royal Bank of Scotland, which is now controlled by the British government after a series of bailouts. Good luck..

So try monitoring; April 21, 2010 10:42 PM

Anonymous said...: Will MAS take action after having said investors went in with the eyes open? The most they will do or has done is behind the scene. That is to save their face.; April 22, 2010 10:58 AM

They say they are immune to criticisms, that is a lie.
Someone is tasked to keep an eye on TKL's blog, to see if they could sue anyone with defamation, to keep dissent under control.; April 22, 2010 11:10 AM

please ah, it is just like asking MAS Chairman GCT or MD Heng to admit that they were negligent in their regulation of these credit-linked notes, and permitted them to be sold to unsohisticated people
here, even though they themselves,i.e. GCT and Heng, have trouble understanding Ang Mo terms like CDOs and Credit default swaps.
Very malu for them, where to hide their faces.; April 22, 2010 11:54 AM
Parka said...: Definitely install Google Analytics. It can help you understand more about your readers, where they come from and what they are reading.; April 22, 2010 8:21 PM
Anonymous said...: CDO, Credit default etc are too complicated and technical to them. If everything good, they will claim credit. If not, they will get a scapegoat!; April 22, 2010 8:33 PM
michael said...: A sudden jump (by 50%) could be due to more frequent visits by the Public (including the PAP) who find that TKL's blog is telling the truth, both informative and constructive. Keep it up!!; April 22, 2010 11:10 PM
