Maybe it’s time to start paying attention to my traffic again. 🙂

The decrease in the number of visitors isn’t that noticeable. The decrease in the number of views per visitor is. I wonder why.

I’ve wondered about that myself; my best guesses are 1) lower number of posts per day lately means that people don’t have any reason to come back more than once in a day (although I have no idea what sort of timer WP might use to determine how often visits from the same IP address “count”) and 2) fewer visitors in general means fewer people who are likely to spend some time wandering through a ton of posts. That was happening several times a day a few weeks ago when I was more diligent about driving traffic.

“although I have no idea what sort of timer WP might use to determine how often visits from the same IP address count” – I didn’t realise WP had a timer. I thought they just counted every single time someone clicked on your page, or moved to the next page in the archives, or clicked on a specific post.

Hmm. For me, paying attention to “traffic” is an odd concept. I work, I write, I post (most every day, but not always). The traffic always surprises me. I’m digging your wide range. Thanks for stopping by and boosting my measurable traffic today to one.

I’m having that same problem at the moment! My daily views have halved (or even thirded, which should be a word) in the last week or two. I can’t explain it, but it has me very concerned.

I’m just commenting here to try to drive traffic my way 😉 I’d actually be quite happy with “just” 66 views in a day…some days I don’t make double figures, even….

I don’t understand how WP traffic count works, either. Which is why I’m experimenting with producing my writer’s blog as a doppelganger on Blogger (http://thewritersitsdown.blogspot.com/) Hopefully the visit counter there will tell me if anybody’s actually coming.

Just numbers – if you are happy with yourself, that’s what counts! 🙂

I’ve always wondered how to get people to actually READ my blog… some of my best friends have never even visited! I get some FUGLY looks when I mention “I’m a blogger,” too… Silliness.
