Wow! I feel so reassured that I"m not the only person who at one time checked there stats like a maniac. I was so enthralled by them when I first got statcounter that it was part of my morning routine. So nosy as to where my traffic was coming from etc...
You are right though it is a waste of time and you can get angry if you aren't getting enough traffic but your traffic doesn't grow when you are checking your stats!
. Now I know generally what my stats are so I check it once or twice a day. (I'm still not out of rehab). I just like to see now where it is coming from regarding recent came from not necessarily search engine as much. If I really want stats I go to aw-stats at the end of the month and look through all my referrer traffic.
Either way I'm glad there is a light at the end of the tunnel of obsessive stat checking disorder.
