As I approach my 5000 pageview over the last 4 years of Blogs on Lawn Bowls, I am surprise of where the views and stats come throughout the world.
Recently, at the Atlantic Bowls Tournament in Charlottetown PEI, I discovered a Commemorate Bowl and posted a photo on my Twitter. As I follower bowls news from about 500 bowls clubs and individual throughout the world, I have 120 followers which are mostly lawn bowls elite and clubs.
Recent tweets were about this bowl which commemorate the 1906 Canadian Tour and I would have thought that a lot of English followers would have been interested in it. The bowl was given to a George Cousin from the Illoa Lawn Club when Mr. Cousin returned from Canada. The bowl was brought to Canada by his great great great grandson who had recently visited England and discovered it had been left to him a Canadian family member . One would have thought that the British readers of my twitter would be interest in the article of the 1906 Tour of Canadian Clubs. Not so... The volume of readers for that 3 days were Canadian and Australian.
The viewers of the blog usually are generated from having read on twitter. But not necessary. As people search for specific items of interest it happens that they read the blog. An example was when viewers from Russia were very active. It was because the blog about the 1905 Bowls tour had pictures and history facts about the RSM Empress of Ireland and the SS Drottningholm renamed from the SS Virginian. These two vessels may have been the reason for blog viewers from Russia... I doubt if Lawn bowls is a popular sport there.
The stats of last month (August) show a recent development of interest in Spain and France.It may be the Cabrera LBC in Cabrera Spain which is the only bowls in Spain or it may be that some of my blog information about Petanque drew this interest from France
. However, the articles of interest is in several blogs on the subconscious ability in sports.
Blogging is more an attempt to share information and after 50 years of sports there is a lot that can be shared. Next Blog will be about the Atlantic Bowls Competition and a recent development of Skipping from the mat. (rather than the skip being in the head) At least the Canadian Curling has been doing team captain or Skip from the third position for many years.
