I just installed hit counters on my website for the first time. As soon as I uploaded the edited pages, I logged in to get my stats.

And someone was reading my webpages!

I know this shouldn't surprise me but...I dunno, I always think of my website as a bit of a ghost town, with most of my feedback coming from somewhere busy like All About Spike. But no, it seems I can log in randomly and find people reading.

*is stunned*

Brief note to speakr2customrs: I've had a quick look at the site you mentioned. GPL is good but I'm wondering if it's not designed for people running their sites off home servers. I'm just using a .Mac site for weenies.

Update: I've just had a visitor who got there by searching for "Weetabix". I hope the poor sod isn't just looking for breakfast cereal info...

I must resist the urge to just sit, hitting "refresh". Must get back to writing more fic.

Last update, really: Turns out I'm the third link from the top if you google for "Weetabix". That's scary. (I'm fourth from the top under "indri" and top under poor old "archaeoindri".)

I have no idea how web counters work. So you can actually tell when people are visiting your site? Can you tell what they're reading as well?

Hehe. When I first got a website with stats, I was utterly addicted to that. It's so nice to know people actually, like, visit and apparently read. My stats aren't very high, but it's enough to make it worth it - don't knot how I lived without them ;)
