Virginia Flower’s had a great post where she shared an image generated by StatCounter. It shows the bump she received during a blog hop, and her sustained traffic after.
She said I should get it, and she’s right. I don’t even have a tag for mine, so it’s not like it’s mussing up my vibe of classic nudes, amateur GIMP covers, and inane thoughts. Oh, and there’s smut smattered about as well.
It should be noted that this handy device will count you poking around at your own site, something I discovered when an unpublished blog showed up among the popular pages.

I discovered the same thing about having my own visits to my blog counted. (I, too, implemented the counter after reading Virginia Flower’s post.) If you look under settings (or click the wrench), you will see a setting to “Create blocking Cookie – Use a cookie to block counting your own visits.” That will stop your visits from counting.
I will give that a shot. Currently I’ve been avoiding looking at my own stuff, but that’s super annoying.
Oh, sorry, I should have mentioned that. I used to have 500 MILLION site visits… until I started blocking my own computer and stopped obsessing about checking the site every 5 seconds to see if anyone at all had bothered to stop by and check me out. And I do so love being checked out… ahem…
Let’s face it, everyone likes attention. I generally have my wordpress page opened to stats, when really, I need to be checking out my reader. I am so very behind on all that jazz.
Yeah, I was doing a terrible job keeping up with the blogs I was reading. I started having more of them email me since I do check email very regularly and it’s been easy to keep up to date that way.
I’ve just been out of the loop with the wedding. With so many people traveling from out of town with their families, it ended up being an almost week long affair with all the preparation and everything.
WordPress doesn’t count site owner visits. I get a more accurate count of how many actual hits I’m getting.
There’s a blocking cookie one can use apparently. Statcounter just gives you more statistics, like, what page people entered in on, and then left on. For me, both are those are the snippet of smut I posted on Reddit.
