Because humans like to see lines go up to the right, there's a weird Gaussian curve where - never checking your analytics means you're probably going to stagnate forever, - checking them at a fixed frequency means you're going to look at what's worked and work hard to keep it going, so traffic grows, - checking them at every time of the hour (I was at my worst when I switched from Urchin to Xiti client-side analytics in '06) means you're switching back to a passive almost-superstitious wait for the number to move, which is both frustrating and extremely ineffective. I've been there and done all 3, and as CEO of a startup[0] I find it's my job to do my best to stay in the middle :) [0] https://onetake.ai https://onetake.ai
