The blog’s average number of hits per day has finally been drug up to 1000.
As you can see, its total hits per day are considerably higher, but the early days of the blog drag down the average. I think yesterday we got between 6000-7000 hits, but it’s hard to tell since "Today" reckons hits in a really weird way.
Those are hit, though, not distinct visitors. (I.e., they include all repeat visits and clicking into comment boxes.)
Maybe we’ll get to that level some day, though.
We’re also closing in on 300,000 total hits (in less than a year of operation).

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

“Hits” are basically any fetches from the server. That includes images. So one page view could cause many hits.
