Any thoughts?

I Think that stats are important for any blog. You should know what your readers are doing, where they are headed, what they like and don't like.

Good work!

Well I am totally focus on increasing my subscribers at the moment.

Personally I would give me real pleasure to be writing for people who are actually interested to read my thoughts.

Have graduated from the Google PR Crazy, but with multiple directories, it does come to haunt me once in a while.

Nice explanation for all the stats that we so frequently work with

[Ben Barden]

thanks for the feedback.

The one thing that I want to receive from stats is the keywords (if any) that people used to search in getting to my site. If I have a rough idea of what people are looking for I could possibly adapt my content to meet the need. This article made the entire issue of stats a bit clearer for me. Thanks.

Try Google Webmaster Tools:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

Once it's set up, wait a few days and you'll be able to see how people are finding you.

Some stats software will let you see this information too, but Google Webmaster Tools has several other options that are worth looking at.

Thanks so much. I'm off to visit Google's webmaster tools.

Is mybloglog pro stats worth upgrading to?

[erikko]

stats serves as the "mirror" of your blog as it determines how does visitors sees your blog through hits

bloggrz_com - I've only tried the short trial period of pro stats that you get when you sign up. It's good, but not worth paying for in my opinion. To be honest I have ditched MyBlogLog completely because BlogCatalog basically does the same stuff as MyBlogLog, but BlogCatalog does more. Not much point keeping them both.
