that’ll do, stats. that’ll do.

February 24, 2011 by louissa

i’m one of those strange bloggers who hasn’t cared much about traffic on my site in the past.  after being asked twice in the last three weeks how many readers i have, i decided to finally start tracking views.  the other night i my brother inserted a code from google analytics so i can start counting.

tonight i checked my stats to see what the last few days have to say about the popularity of my site.  i was super excited at the number of hits i get and then i became completely deflated.  the tracker says that most visits last between 0-10 seconds.  shows how gripping my content is.

0-10 seconds.

that’ll do a number on your blogging pride.  i’m thinking that i liked not knowing more.

    Just exactly how, I wonder, does the link from facebook look on your stats? If people read it there and comment there, does it look any different on google analytics?

    I Love to read your posts!

    It works like this: one checks your blog as often as they can, but only finds new material occasionally. Thus, most of their visits end in “Guess I’ll have to check back again in a few hours.”

    @mums: no different. facebook directs you directly to my site!

    @baby swyka: you make me thankful for so many reasons!
