Aww man! Not ANOTHER way to spend my time checking my statistics.. Statcounter and Feedburner already take up a good chunk of time!

Thanks for the good read though.

Thanks for the links.

Until now I was using just Feed Compare. It’s cool see how your feed is progressing, especially in the 24 months view. I didn’t knew any of the other, but I’ll check they now! Thanks!

Checking the popularity of your website is a huge waste of time unless you’re using it to create a media pack.

When I first started blogging, I would check my stats and popularity almost daily. After doing it for a few months, I realized I wasted around 30 hours. Yes, 30 hours, which could have been used to write a great piece of pillar content.

Thanks! I love statistics.. Since the last months my blog finally gets more visitors, the total number of monthly visitors increases.

It’s so good to see that my efforts weren’t for nothing!

Thanks for the list! It is fun to see how your site ranks in different categories compared to other sites.

A great list, Daniel. However, I am quite confused. Why does my Google Analytics and Adsense show that my daily pageviews is only around 250/day, while according to statbrain it is around 2,300 visits a day. Which do you think is more accurate?

By the way, your blog has only 3,000 visits a day according to statbrain and I don’t believe it.
