Localism VS ActiveRain...And the Winner is?

 
I had some time this morning to actually look at the back-end data on my own blog and was totally surprised at the trends I found regarding Referred Browser Hits.
 
For comparison,  Here is what I found:

Overall:
Since I created my own blog over a year ago, ActiveRain  has represented 74.1% of my referers During this same period, Localism was only 9.2%
Last Three Pages of my results:
July 10 - 12
Active Rain = 65% Localism = 5% July 13 - 15
ActiveRain  = 70% Localism = 15% July 16 - 27
ActiveRain = 35% Localism = 50% I would say this is pretty substantial evidence that Localism is already making a significant impact on my blog traffic since it went "live".  I, for one, am now a believer.  Now matter what anyone on AR writes...numbers like these don't lie/embellish/rant or even distort.  This is the best evidence I could have to inspire me to be there on Thursday at noon.
*Please note:  NO ONE from AR asked or even knew about this post...I'm just sharing the facts!
9/21/08 Update:  I have gotten several requests for an update on my statistics.  The most recents state:
AR:  33 hits, Localism 21 ... more
