<p>According to Google Analytics, last month saw a 300% visitor increase in the country of Turkey. Wow! I’m like some sort of international blogging playboy!</p>
<p>I also see increased view counts in France, Germany and Belgium. Woot wooooot! To all my German readers: <em>Ich verwendete eine Web site, um diesen Satz in Deutschen zu übersetzen.*</em></p>
<p>My numbers in Poland have slipped. Have no fear, I talked to my European street team rep. and she assures me an aggressive viral marketing campaign is underway. Krakow, I’m coming!</p>
<p>In all seriousness, the combined visits from all those countries was 53. Not amazing, I know. It’s really cool that anyone outside my small group of friends gives a shit about anything I do. But Turkey? Even with the small numbers, wow. That’s weird.</p>
<p>Here’s a healthy dose of reality for <strong>joeavella.com</strong>: My  most popular blog posts is this one: <a href="http://www.joeavella.com/2009/04/07/7-celebrities-that-might-be-zombies/">7 Celebrities That May Be Zombies</a>. And it’s found by the most popular tags on my blog: ‘goldie hawn’ and ‘buck cherry’. I think this is very funny.</p>
<p>I won’t do any more meta blog posts, aka blog posts about my blog. At least not until I’m blowing up in the Czech Republic.</p>
