Obsessing about blog stats

December 2, 2009

I read it everywhere: when you just start a blog or launch a website, you obsess about the stats. You check them daily (if not hourly) as if by some sort of magic people will start appearing on your blog, and subscribing to your posts.

I thought it was a joke until I launched into blogging.

I’ve got 4 subscribers on this blog and 6 on my photography blog.
I check them daily. I also check every single page view.

I get upset, because yesterday I had 7 subscribers on my photography blog, and clearly someone didn’t like my latest post.

I also procrastinate a lot and think about what I’m going to write about and how I am going to write about it waaaay too much.

How bonkers is that?
