I love to get my stats on a Monday, I feel quite sad if the freeware doesn't pick up talula to analyze.
I love stats because watching the numbers grow is just like playing rockstargame again. I loved to play rockstargame. Then it went pay-for-play and I was very sad. My band was alternative rock legend Lenore Goldfish. It was a three piece band with a female lead singer. They released such wonderful songs as Bucket and Briar Rose. Their first album was called Sunshine Outside.
Anyhoo, your band had a popularity rating and touring around doing gigs raised your popularity. The better practised your band was the more people went to your concerts. You could charge more for tickets as you got more popular.
Lenore Goldfish were just breaking into the international market when it went pay for play.
Getting my stats each week is like finding out my band's popularity rating. I like to see the numbers go up. My favourite stats are: Repeat visitors (92 last week)
Total hits (2699 last week) and most popular search term. You may remember that one from the weeks it was Maisy Mouse. She's still in the top three, but lately the most popular is Fruits Basket Quiz.
some other fun search terms that people found me with:
dark faeries
my little pony avatars
wendy's secret kiss
things that didn't exist 10 years ago (I kinda want to blog about that one now)
jojoba pronounciation
Mary-Kate and Ashley updates on sickness
