Did you ever want to know who comes to your blog, how often, what they read, and how long they stay? Some of these questions can very easily be answered with your web site statistics.

Just like you can track web site visitors on your web site, you can track your blog visitors and readers through the web site statistics on the blog’s web site. These web site statistics should give you information about the visitors who come to your blogging web site.

Web site statistics contain wealth of extremely useful information about your online customers and web site visitors. However, very few business owners actually use the statistics to find information to further their business. You can learn more about using your web site statistics in the Understanding Web Site Statistics Report.

With blogs in particular, some people who read blogs prefer to use RSS readers (I use Sage to read RSS feeds, there are many other RSS readers on the market as well). With RSS readers, you don’t need to visit every blog yourself, to see if they have been updated or not. Instead, the reader checks each blog automatically, and tells you if the blog has been updated since the last time you read it. These readers make RSS requests, that are also seen in your web site statistics. This means that if you have web site statistics for your blog, you will see how many RSS Reader requests your blog receives.
