Isn’t that crazy how those spike can skyrocket the traffic, and plummet the next day. Now when my traffic spikes, I know to what to expect, so am not as disappointed as I was when I first started blogging.

You have aced the assignment.

Yes, I get so stoked on a spike and it’s hard to watch the traffic die back down. But the leveling off at a higher level than before helps.

See, I feel better already just by doing the assignment. I’m subscribing.

That is shocking when you see a spike, isn’t it? And, you’re right on the mark, your loyal readers will “guide” you along.

Also, remember it is your blog, so if you’re feel like writing something out of the ordinary, that’s ok. I wrote two silly poems about blogging-both in the early hours of the morning. They weren’t popular posts, but did get some hits.

I call that bloggers blogk. Haha!

Barbara’s last blog post..Spikey Traffic Distorts Visitor Statistics

When I saw that spike, my first thought was, “What happened?”, but thanks to Google Analytics, I can see which post was being visited and from what source.

Down the line, I see using my stats to help me understand what my readers like, and guide me as to what kinds of posts I should write (especially when I’m stuck for an idea or have “blogger’s block”.)
