If you don't care if people are reading your blog, why bother posting it online at all? Why not just blog into a local Word document, like the character Creed on "The Office"?
If you do care whether people are reading what you write, then analytics is the obvious way to find out.
- coldpie 7y agoI think "analytics" and "traffic stats" are different things.
- LunaSea 7y agoThey are not.
- snowwrestler 7y agoTraffic stats are a subset of all possible analytics you can gather about a website. But even if all you want are traffic stats, a client-side analytics package is still a better way to gather that information. Google Analytics--and similar client-side analytics packages--supplanted server-side log analysis for a reason. It's much easier to implement, and gives you much more accurate counts of real people visiting your site, as opposed to spiders, bots, scripts, and other automated traffic that doesn't matter.
