I started my personal blog in January and joined Blogher a week and a half ago. All that time and effort has finally paid off. Thanks to one Canadian reader, I can now say my personal blog is international. (Sarcasm aside, I am really excited about it.)
I know about my Canadian viewer because I signed up for Google Analytics. A free tool that tracks statistics for my blog, like how many visitors I had, how long they stayed on my site, and my bounce rate (whatever that is). I really don't understand most of the information I get, nor do I really care about most of it. However, I love seeing how many people visit my site every day and where they live.
I wake up every morning, and run to my computer like a kid at Christmas to look at my stats for the previous day. I also look periodically throughout the day, even though it only updates once a day. I like to look at the map overlay and see all the cities that have viewed my site. It's very big brother-ish and I love it!
Since I started tracking on Saturday, I have had 15 visitors! And, I only know four of them! And yesterday, someone from Canada visited my site. It's a start, anyway.
Now I'm just waiting for my first commenter and my first follower who is not my husband. I feel like a first time mom waiting for her baby's first steps.
Does anyone else use these tracking tools? Anyone else obsessed with them like me?
