My personal site I don’t use any analytics. My metric I care about is whether I’m having an impact on my colleagues and domain. I generally don’t try to mode that quantitatively, I care more about whether it seems people around me are influenced or helped by what I write. If it’s useful to some colleagues, that’s enough for me.
- weinzierl 6y agoI appreciate this attitude. What do you do to know if you have an impact instead of analytics?
- softwaredoug 6y agoOne thing I could look at is Moz’s approximation for page authority and look at inbound links. But I don’t care that much about it right now.
- zserge 6y agoIf the content of your blog is not too niche - one can easily live without analytics by just looking at the numbers of upvotes on HN/Reddit etc. However, for starters and for very narrow topics some kind of analytics would still be useful to help them grow the audience.
