And by attention, I meant I was curious enough to know my visitors’ activities when they visit my blog. Some take their time browsing, and others leave immediately (after seeing that they will not get anything from me, I really don’t blame them). I have an in-house web analyzer, but I still use a third-party site like StatCounter. Yeah, for someone who doesn’t care, I sure have put in a bit of effort to install this stuff. Is that what you’re saying? One, it’s part of the package deal, and two, it’s really easy to install. And honestly, I only do this as a countermeasure (not to stalk you guys); let’s say someone was *so* inspired by the site before. But that’s a thing of the past. I really don’t call them out, but honestly, if I get too much traffic from one person, it arouses my curiosity.

Ah, don’t worry; the only time I paid attention was if I installed a new one for another site of mine, which happened recently. I decided to check my stats while I was doing it and see what was up. And I’m incredibly surprised by these little tidbits that I found out.

People put me on their blogroll; aasfshfdlsjsjsalkflg!

Like whoa? Me? You’re linking me?! I don’t have a blogroll, but in case you’re wondering if I have blogs that I love, of course I do. But I’m doing it ninja style; I’m inconspicuous—er, maybe not. The most obvious clue is that I comment frequently. I only follow a handful of blogs via RSS. I’m committed to interacting with the bloggers. Snobbish? Perhaps, but somehow I’m more inclined toward building friendships with these bloggers than having a bunch of strangers as followers.

They liked my blog! They liked my blog!

It’s a bit connected to #1, but nothing makes me blush furiously when someone says they were inspired by my blog (when I was mentioned in their blog post or something and they decided to check my blog out). Whether it’s my design or something else, I’m so happy to know that I’m appreciated. I love you, too, you gorgeous people!

Most of my visitors are from the US?! O.O

Before, country (where I live) was where I got most of my hits. But according to my stats this month, 43.60% are from the US?! And only 25.40% are from countries other than the United States. I was truly shocked and a bit petrified since I write awkwardly and mess up my posts often, so ugh, I’m embarrassed. But seriously, I’m still shocked!

My visitors are directed by weird key terms. o.O

Let me tell you this: I’m not offering anything for downloads, so you might as well give that up! I don’t have 17+ posts either. My posts are rated PG even though I review adult and new adult books. I keep my terms teen-friendly!

But for most parts, key words like the book title and characters are still what drove them here. It surprises me somehow because I have many competitors for that attention. Not that I’m competing; I just still found that bit interesting.

So how about you? Do you care about your statistics? Do you also sometimes check your visitors’ activities during their visit? Care to share it with me so I don’t feel like a complete stalker by doing this?
