Blog Training and How-To Guide for Business Blogging

HaHa, thanks for the link - a blast from a recent past.

I'm down to once a week - but it's more thorough and detailed and uploaded into Excel etc., I'm now more productive during the week and much more saner.

Everything I need for a daily basis (who's linking to me, writing about me etc) I've set up via rss.

I check all three as well. Not as often though. Thats my goal for the new year making more blog connections.

I also check these things around 4-5 times a week ...

I am using short stat plugin.Its pretty good.Its simple and without any decoration.And it doesnt crashes my admin panel

Good post, for a while in November and December I would check my blog statistics everyday 2 - 3 times daily because I was new to blogging and people were visiting :D

Now I don't often check it, sometimes I go a week without checking it.

Good advice about checking once a day. The same goes for AdSense or any other online based stats. It's the old "analysis paralysis" problem of being overwhelmed by information and not really doing anything with it.

Thanks for the thoughts, everyone!

Hi Easton,

I tend to look at those stats that you mention, along with one other thing: inbound searches.

I really like to know what people searched for when they found me through a search engine. It lets me know whether what I am writing is relevant to my visitors and whether I need to expand on any areas of articles I have already written.

I probably do check just-a-little too often though!

Hi Easton,

This post came at the right time. I was just thinking about how I've become addicted to checking my stats and Google Adsense account ;) Thanks for the tips!
