Congrats on your first month. It is hard work and like a child requires constant nurturing. But glad to hear that you’re enjoying it (and the stats ARE addictive!)

Hi DeMo,
I got page view from promoting in applicable area like forums related to my topic, on blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc. The spikes you see were due to being mention on Twitter by two of my favorite people – Justin Timberlake and Chris Guillebeau. Although one is much more famous than the other, they both resulted in equal amounts of traffic.

Great post! How did you get so many pageviews in the first month?! I suppose I haven’t found my niche yet. I found you from Douglas & Main and will be checking out more of your blog soon!

I totally agree with you on the stat addiction. I can’t help myself. I have to look at them every day.

Great post, it actually gives me some hope for the future. I immediately recognize the spike-shaped diagram … all too familiar. And the addiction to stats is annoying to say the least.

GREAT POST! As someone who has only been blogging for a short period of time, I can also relate to every single one of these items. I too have hoped that I would get over my pointless stat addiction, but it has yet to happen! Maybe one day…

Thanks for your thoughts!
