I look at Analytics once or twice a month as people, on the whole do not leave a lot of comments so it is nice to see that you, or in this case, me, is growing.

Not sure about banning it though. I think the reasonable among us are capable of making these decisions on our own cognisance. Yes I know that's probably just you and me, but at least we can help others along the way. :-)Brennighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553332352189636358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19717539.post-42450957526895221812008-12-16T09:20:00.000+00:002008-12-16T09:20:00.000+00:00I knoqw where you're coming from here !Like Sim-O ...I knoqw where you're coming from here !<BR/><BR/>Like Sim-O I use Google Analytics but it's easy to let the stats rule your blogging life. <BR/><BR/>I started blogging simply because I enjoy writing, and I try to remember that the aim wasn't (isn't ?) to have a huge readership. Even so, it's hard not to frantically compare this week with last week and wonder what's caused the change.<BR/><BR/>As an aside, I got excited a couple of weeks ago because I saw a messive, unprecented spike in my visitor numbers. I then found out that the spike was purely down to the fact that I'd written a post entitled "League Cup Semi Final Draw - Prediction" and got a load of refugees from Google trying to find out what the draw was. All of whom would have been sadly disappointed. So my biggest ever week of readership was caused by - an accident.AloneManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17435048420998106381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19717539.post-43577403449040694692008-12-16T09:08:00.000+00:002008-12-16T09:08:00.000+00:00You have my sypmathies, Dungeekin.I had that feeli...You have my sypmathies, Dungeekin.<BR/>I had that feeling with sitemeter, but then when my hits stayed low the buzz soon wore off.<BR/>I then found myself wanting something more intense, so progressing onto Google Analytics. It might not have the easy specfics of sitemeter but it's good and reliable. It's what keeps me going month after month, with it's exellent compare features.<BR/><BR/>I noticed the screen shot you have is of Woopra. Woopra is cool too. I have it for when I want something different, y'know, treat myself.<BR/>Plenty of toys on it.'specially the ability to open a chat portal with a visitor. Although I've never managed to catch anyone on my site.<BR/>Woopra downside? It can't ignore certain visits (yet) like Anyltics & sitemeter can which means my most loyal visitor is, ahem, me.<BR/><BR/>So, when you gonna write that awesome post then? ;-)Sim-Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05194980139358025245noreply@blogger.com
