Kim, over at her Wolf Trap Opera blog now writes about counting. She writes about both ticket sales and blog hits.
I count. I counted at my old blog, and there I was getting a lot of hits per hour. But I have a feeling it was counting my hits, and of course I was on my site a lot, going from page to page. Not so this new counter (I’m now using site meter) with this new blog. So my total hits are fairly low. Which sort of hurts my pride. But sort of doesn’t. I mean … if I were doing this for hits … well … I probably would have quit a long time ago, eh? (And if I think these stats are low, I should be quite devastated by the pattyo! But I blog there mainly for family. Hits don’t matter. Really.)
I like this new counter, though. I can see a world map, and where folks are coming from.
Heck, maybe I’ll even finally remember where all these countries are!
Are you using sitemeter basic or sitemeter premium? What’s teh difference?
I just use the free one. I think the one you pay for just gets more detailed, but I can’t say for sure.
