[...] As an example, take this paragraph from my website at http://www.jasonslater.co.uk These days I have Google Analytics installed so any time I want to check on the relative success of a post or topic I can refer to that so what is Alexa doing for me? I also use Technorati from time to time as another useful measure though I tend not to check these sites as regularly as I used to - as most of my time these days is taken up researching or writing the posts (Blog overhaul update … it’s all about communication!).

Hi Jason, and thanks for the mention, which is always appreciated.

It’s easy to get drawn into monitoring the ebb & flow of traffic through our ‘blogs, more so when like me it’s your job to monitor these things for your clients.

Another factor to consider is timing — being timely, as a new topic gets popular and then post to coincide can be a bonus.

BTW, I’ve just moved from Google Blogger to WordPress, and so far, all is well.

Good luck and thanks again!

Jamie,
Yes - I am experimenting with colour ready for Monks 100th comic !

Thanks for the pointer about the blog posts I’ll take a look at it - presumably the option is in wordpress somewhere?

Thanks for the link.

Brave step removing the stats, not sure if I could do that!

You might want to consider changing your RSS output to full posts, there is setting some where in WordPress. Its personal choice, but I’ve come across a couple of blogs post moaning about this issue. Specially if you use images to attract visitors.

I see the Monks are in colour!
