Statistics

“Statistics” He reads.

“Yes. That’s the title of my 75th post” I said “See..Statistics Matters”.

“Oh! You do all that lousy writing and can make whatever count you want and you call that a statistics?” he said.

“Listen! Increasing this count can be easy, as I am the driver for it. But, How can I increase the number of visitors for my blog, for which I have no control over it?

However, If I were able to track which posts were being highly visited, I can assume or understand what exactly a reader wants. Based on which, I can able update/review the content of my blog .

For tracking blog visits /referrers (etc), WordPress users were blessed with a plugin called wp-stats.
I have installed this plugin on Jan 9, 2009 in this site. In the last 20 days, the top visited post of my blog are as follows

1. AVG Control File Error – 171 Views
2. Serendipity vs WordPress – 31 Views
3. BT Landline Connection – 21 Views

This statistics is quite surprising for me. When I write the blog “AVG control File Error”, I never thought it would become Top visted post of my blog.  This clearly reveals that so many visitors has got affected by this error and end up in my blog. I doubt these visitor, will they ever get back to my blog?. Anyhow, this reveals a trick for getting  many visitors .”

Hearing all these in silent, he took a deep breath and said “Blog for your passion, more than for the readers”.
