A different kind of statistic

This article, Wise-Women: Alphabet Soup: Web Site Statistics helped me make sense of my site statistics. According to my stats, I get an average of 1,548 hits a day. Zowie! I was so impressed with myself! However, the article explained that page views are slightly more accurate and I only get an average of 360 of those each day. Hmmm, not quite as mind-boggling but still pretty good. Then I saw that sessions are the most accurate of all and I only get about 132 a day of those (again, that’s an average). Oh dear, my popularity is diminishing rapidly.

You know what sociologists say about sausage and statistics, right? You don’t want to look too closely at how either of them get made.

I’m content with that 132 number but I’m still looking for a way out of that damn 6%.
