Stats And Pageviews

I always think it's interesting to see what my blog's up to, readership-wise.  Most times when I check, the pageviews look something like this:


Small potatoes for a professional blogger, but I'm satisfied with it.  Yesterday when I logged in I was saddened to see that the graph was almost a flat line.  I wondered what had happened to my readers until I looked at the vertical axis:


On April 14th the pageviews had increased ten-fold! 

I tried to find out where all those views came from, but Blogger was no help.  The statistics options are Today, Yesterday, and Last Month.  I guess I'll never know if it was one person who read massive amounts of my blog, or multitudes of people who stopped in for a short visit.

    Have you ever used StatCounter? Hubby just started to use it because Blogger sucks monkey balls.

      I do have StatCounter installed! I guess I forgot to check it to see how it compares to Blogger. Thanks for the reminder.

      For Tim's it doesn't match at all. Google has a flippin' up way of taking count even within their own company, things don't match.

      Odd, that.

      So you're saying the spike could be wrong? I'd prefer to fantasize and think that many people DID visit :-)

      I don't know about your spike but when he did StatCounter he said it was about a third off, with google showing bloated numbers.

      I dunno. It's all whack-a-do to me.

    Blogger stats suck. I've got several post that Blogger says NO one has looked at. Hmmmm... then what about the comments on the blog?

    I have a love/hate relationship with my blog stats. But when they are depressingly low, I have to remind myself that readers won't visit if I don't post. I'll be back in the saddle soon!

      There's never enough time in the day to do everything, is there?
