Site stats. How many viewers, from where, how long, blah blah. They can make a desperate little crack whore out of a reasonably rational mind.
I ADORE the comment interaction. But I really don’t want to know about clicks. I vow not to look at any site stats for a month. I mean really, you don’t want to know either. All it does is make you twitchy.
So stop. Else you end up doing the twitchy junkie shuffle.
one tough lady lives on 
i have a stat tracker but i rarely check it. i don’t really care where people are coming from and how many of them are reading on a daily basis. i do want to get my follower count up…for the purely vain reason of wanting to meet 30 by my 30th. no rhyme or reason, just cuz. 🙂
I follow, but not via the gooey tools, does that still count? 🙂
“twitchy junkie shuffle” This actually sounds kinda cool. Is it like the electric slide?
we should write a song—-! It’ll be the next big pop hit.
Of course … all that is intended to drive us insane and who needs more insanity when there’s more than enough to go around? At least at my house. *mwah*
True dat. Besides, what crazy person decided insanity has to be a bad thing?
I check my site stats at least once a day. I can become obsessed but I want to know “how I am doing” and what my readers respond to. I have my own “writing agenda” but I do take direction from what my readers want to read about. I have lots of topics, but my readers are very important to me, of course.
I think I’d be on the same page if I had more than about 5 to 10 readers! Although maybe it’s because I’m a random poster, time-wise anyway. Doh! 🙂 I do post a pic-a-day at geauxgirlpics.wordpress.com since the beginning of this year though, which has been remarkably fun.
And thanks for the comment!
