Statistics

After a little while of watching LJ Toys, a few things stand out.

I am amazed at how many people come and read Possession. It is an unusual day when at least one person doesn't blast through the whole thing. It is quite common to see two or three readers a day.

And I hadn't really thought about it, but Adjustments doesn't get the same love. So either somebody influential has rec'd Possession somewhere, so people are coming to Possession from somewhere besides my own index page, or people are at the index page and look at the description fo Adjustments, and say no way, Jose! :D

Of course, plenty of people come in and graze off the main index page. Which is cool. Even more cool, it is common for a person to come and stay awhile, chomping down eight or ten stories in a sitting.

I definitely see readership up on stories that get rec'd or mentioned around on stargate_search.

The Brain takes hits from 24 people a day, approximately, after I exclude my two locations. That's consistant over time. It goes up on days I post new fic and on days that I get a rec or something, but on days when the Brain is just sitting there, minding it's own business, it gets vistiors. That's kinda cool.

You know, that might well work, but see, to me it feels like whining for comments and I get this horrible shrivelly feeling at the thought. :/ If I followed a link to read an older story and saw that the writer had added that sort of note, I wouldn't mind and I'd go ahead and give them to link, but when I think of doing it myself I want to run and hide. I know, I'm lame. :(

I just wish LJ had a referral feature so we could see where people come from. Of course, to do that they'd have to set up a hit-tracker thingy of their own and so far they haven't even done that, so I'm not holding my breath. [wry smile]

I totally get that. Heh. Include that comment too. "I'm not whining for comments, really, honestly, but my friend made me add this update."

LOL! I'll think about it. [duck]
