I last checked any of my blog stats, referrals, etc. I check the unique visitors for Zero Intelligence every 3 months or so in order to keep my BlogAds profile current but I have no reason to do anything similar for SBD. Every once in whenever I get an email from SiteMeter that says how many visitors I'm getting here but I can't remember the last time I bothered to open it. I haven't joined a carnival in forever.
I used to be a massive traffic whore and lived or died by my site stats. What's up here?
I'm not disaffected, I just don't care. I could be down to 50 visitors a day and it wouldn't bother me as long as they were the regular readers and friends I've made over the past year or two.
I'm in a happy place, blogwise, and that's pretty cool.
I've never had any traffic to speak of, so it's easy for me to say that I've never cared. Nonetheless – I never cared. Welcome - it’s a nice place to be!
I think I should put a warning to my site that my readers use an aggregator - I post so infrequently that it's kinda unfair to expect people to stop in every now and then - don't bother - just use the aggregator to see it you need to go take a peek...
You have achieved blog serenity. You are truly the Blog Zen Master. Congratulations on attaining enlightenment!
I know what you mean. I used to be obsessed with my numbers, too.
Now I'm too busy trying to answer my e-mail.
I suppose the next step is doing some kind of hyper-dramatic "I'm quitting blogging" thing, like...
Well, no need to mention any names. I suppose they know who they are.
Don't stop there, Harv. Then there's the classic comeback, followed by another retirement. It is the way of the blog.
On another matter, I just realised my Snooze point count is way low. Time to do something about that.
This is exactly why I found http://www.minjungkim.com/?p=2675 so amusing
