Would you say this is a successful blog?

Since I started my blog three or four years back, I've had by this morning 66666 reads - if that is what a 'hit' is.
 
I have no idea if that is a lot or a little for a blog, but it is certainly very many more than I imagined I would get when I posted my first piece.
 
A blog is of course online publishing; there are no hard copies to handle and browse in book shops and libraries and maybe to glance through again from time to time at home. 
 
But I look at it this way. If I had written a book (non-fiction) and been read 66666 times, I think it would be something to write home about. I'm sure my publisher would be smiling. And there would be 66666 copies on shelves out there somewhere with a squared-up pic of me on the inside front or back dust cover.
 
So, late though it is, and for what it's worth, here's a pic. Hope it doesn't put you off reading in future.
 
Thanks for reading anything you have read so far.
