I have this weird feeling about blogging. I’ll write about topics but then I take a look at my visitors… many are here for the wrong reasons. I get 10 kids every day asking for MSN invites, I have another 20 Googleing myspace error messages and finding me. The rest are all here to take my free FIRO-B test.
But, am I looking at the wrong statistics? Should I try to learn how my subscribers are utilizing my blog? Unfortunately I can’t really. Sure, I have 200 subscribers but how many people pass over my banter every morning? How many sit and thought ‘oh yeah, I feel that too’?
Comments seem like the currency of kings. If you garner discussion you’re a pretty good blogger. In my case I’ve accured 207 comments on 179 posts. A bunch of those comments, again, are people asking for MSN invites. But, a bunch of those posts are links to articles and funny videos.
So what? I don’t know. I feel no better having written that and looked at all these different variables than I did earlier.
Now I have bloggers remorse squared becuase I’ve accomplished absolutely nothing by writing this… but I’ll end up getting 100 referrals from Google to it in the next month.
Hey Devin,
I’m planning on studying business at uni this september over here the UK, I found your site (then Business bits) when i was researching the subject to help me decide. I’ve found your blog to be really useful and full of good, relevant advice, although the technical bits often go over my head. so just thought I’d say thanks.
