Another long-lost relative, maybe…

I’ve spent some time lately setting up google analytics.  It’s a fabulous program, whose sole weakness is how much overwhelm and overkill it provides to non-professionals.  Tonight I looked at my google analytics page, and I saw one person from North Las Vegas who specifically googled “johan marinus jensen,” went onto JMJensen.com, and then spent 28 minutes on the site reading 79 pages.  That’s what it’s all about.  JMJensen.com has sold about 20 copies of its book, at $20ish apiece by the time you include shipping, but that was basically a break-even point–even that was only possible because I owned a printing company.  It was always about bringing honor to my misunderstood great-grandfather, spreading his message, finding distant relatives, fighting the constant self-loathing back-projections of opportunism in the building of America, and of course my own joy of having a popular website.  So congratulations and thank you to “John” M Jensen, getting close to his 150th birthday, on having a fabulous, and fabulously relevant, website.
