How do you check your traffic?

[kittyluver]

I use statcounter and alexa to know the traffic details...

I use Free Blog Counters, Widgets and Stats by BlogPatrol.com to check my traffic.

I use Google Analytics, Site Meter and Wordpress Stats plugin.

Analytics is my preferred method, too.

It works and each time you check your stats you're MORE pleasantly surprised!

I think you can be forgiven for checking your stats regularly, they must be pretty good!

I like GetClicky the best. I just signed up for Google and, forgive me, but I can't get used to it. It's too techy for me. Just give me my stats and let me get on with it.

I think it is always a good idea to check your traffic constantly. It helps you understand where your visitors go when they get to your blog so that you know what kind articles people are looking for. It is nice to use software that will help you make a heat map of your blog. This will show you where people are clicking and how many times it's been clicked in a certain period of time.

Google analytical is nice though because you are able to see the bounce rate of every single post on your blog. You can understand what people are interested in by how many times they click everything. This can help you determine what kind of articles to write in the future.

Well, if you are using WordPress as your blogging platform it is nice to have a plugin so you don't have to go to Google analytical so much.
