Karen, your practices mirror mine a lot. I skim in my reader (Bloglines), then click in if I want to tag a site or send it to someone else. Or if I know the blogger has a particularly visual approach so I can “see” the whole effect. But I confess I skim a LOT, so the blog reader is really useful from a time efficiency perspective.

As for “erratic” behavior being bad for stats. Pshaw!

Thanks for sharing your practice!

I follow your blog using Google Reader. I do click through to view your actual blog now and then. I do so on a whim, so I cannot say what makes me go to your site. I did click through a lot when you changed from blogger to wordpress just to get oriented. I can also read something on your blog, and then decide to tell someone about it in an email. Then I go to your site to make sure I have the correct URL. I suppose such erratic behavior is bad for stats?

Tony, my old top level page was a boring old page until the end of November when I moved my blog to the front page. So I expect the hits will change this year.

I also am not sure I’ve implemented Google analytics correctly. !LOL!

Nancy, thanks for sharing. Appreciated.

Interesting to see the ravioli page and the community manual page come up at the top of your list. Your top level page “/” get hits far less often. Not sure why that is?

I’m also surprised that you wouldn’t have a much higher pages viewed when people are coming into your resource pages more than the blog.

Hopefully there will be more of these posts with these interesting tidbits.
