There are a few things that I do when I am online and one of them is to regularly check my web stats. I’ll admit that this is a bad habit because I don’t even have to check them so often. I just want to make sure each site are getting the traffic that I need, and the only way for me to find out is by checking my statcounter & Google Analytics account.
I’ve also recently purchased the The Action Machine to help me keep track of how much time I spend on a certain activity. You might wanna check it out too, I think it’s an excellent tool for busy people.
So from now on, I’ll only check my stats two times in a day and won’t spend more than 30 minutes whenever I do the checking :-) This will probably help me to focus on getting more jobs done instead of staring at the screen wondering how I get visited for funny keywords I didn’t even spend much time to write about before this. I might as well use the time to get backlinks for my blogs from online forums or social bookmarks and do something that can increase exposure for my websites.
I’d like to know if you’re like me too when it comes to checking your web stat, are you obsessed with it and come back checking for every 5 minutes or so? Or did you managed to cure this addiction and move on to do more important things for your website.
