It depends on a lot of things. You’re at WordPress, so you should be able to get at those stats from the dashboard. I’m just getting used to those stats, but so far I don’t like it as well as TypePad’s. Probably has more to do with being used to the other than with any flaws on WordPress’ side.

I just peeked at my stats and most of you will think this is a cute one: someone came to Maximum Customer Experience today on the search term “james chartrand email contact 2008.” Good grief, James. Keep your groupies to yourself. I’m trying to make my own groupies happy here.

Then FeedBurner has stats once you log in (I think you use them for your feed, right?), which I like because theirs are simple to read at a glance but you can dig a bit deeper if you want (what parts of the world people are reading from, etc.).

Google Analytics is something you have to install, but that’s nice info, too. I don’t check it very often because I’m really not that into stats, but I think they have the easiest way to view all-time most viewed posts. It has a lot of nice information that’s not anyplace else, like bounce rate, pages viewed per visit, and average amount of time a visitor spends on your site.

Some people love PageRank. I never, ever look at it myself. Yes, this is partly because it would be depressing, but also partly because I’m just trying to be a resource, not win any races. The other kinds of stats tell me things about who arrives here and what they look for or look at. That helps me decide how best to serve my readers.

PageRank is more like looking at my bank account. Staring won’t help.

(There you go, Men. Short and sweet analogy. )

Hope that helps!

How do we read our stats? Is it the google page rank thing?

Rubbery. You guys are too funny. We better keep this clean. This is a professional Alltop Kick Ass blog.

Steph,

I just started getting notified of what people use to find me. Or, more accurately, what they use to find something, and hit on me. hehehe

Your Mom is a corker. Now I know where you get your nerve from!

Until later,

My Mom likes to mess with telemarketers’ heads. She said just give me the free phone.

Well, you have to buy the minutes to go along with it, they said.

No, just give me the phone. I don’t care if it dosent’ work. I just want the phone so I can look important and impress my friends.

It dosen’t work that way, ma’am, they told her.

So Mom proceeded to rant at them about it’s not really a FREE PHONE, then. Air is free…sunshine is free…if it’s really a FREE PHONE…it should also come with no strings attached. You’re false advertising, then….why can’t you just give me the PHONE…etc. etc…

Heh heh. She deliberately kept up with this argument until THEY threw in the towel, and left her alone…

(I love it when she does this)

Oh, dear.

The most common “ones” are latex rubber as you know, the newer ones being polyvinyl chloride so it could go either way!

Brett Legree’s last blog post…field of dreams – the dream meme.

Believe it or not (you know me a bit, so you will believe it) this post was longer. I had more I wanted to say about everything that’s wrong with that hideous little sentence, because everything is wrong with it.

If anyone at all took them up on it, I want to interview that person. WHY???

Marked edible when it’s supposed to be food! LOL!

The rules and regs surrounding what we eat are just astounding. Some lawyer made them do that, for sure.
