Earning, Blogging, Tips and More: Blog Stats Addict? You Need Rehab

  • El Nino · 6 months ago
    I use 3 stats:
    Google analytic: because can "invite" google bots to crawl (is it true?)
    Wordpress.com stats: because easy and fast to access if you want to see incoming keywords and ref.
    Histats: because thats free and completed

    But none of them visible, and all is located in bottom (to avoid my blog stuck if one of them down).

    Hi there El Nino, yeah, they say you place all trackers on the footer so it wouldn't slow down the loading area of the blog. But hey, are you a blog stats addict? :P
  • El Nino · 6 months ago
    Based on your criteria I think i'm not :D
    Everyday i check my stats but not more than 15 minutes / day :D
    But i know some people addicted to blog stats, they even post that :D

    Haha really? Posting their blog stats can be either a sign of blog stats addiction or purely show off. :)

    Ako rin everyday but I don't do it many times in a day. I usually do before turning off the laptop.

    Congrats Kelvin, malaki ang chance mong manalo sa Top 10 Influential Blogs! :)

    So true this Bryan - I remember when I first started I was looking at stats up to 10 times a day! It was such a waste of time! I went onto a regime where I only look once a week now, and focus on the job of writing the best content I can.

    That's great Mike! I also experience being to much engrossed in stats and suddenly thought, what a waste of time. I even check my Google Analytics once a week now. Checking it everyday would seem futile if you can't make good quality posts too.

    Thanks for the comment! :)

    This is great reminder for me, I'm the stat junkies, I check my stat for couple times in a day and unfortunately it still 0 lol, I think I have to let it go and give my energy to write a post :)

    Haha better shift your focus now... :)
