The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Do you track your readership?
Do you follow stats on when people are reading your blog? Do you find that people read more on the weekends or during the week? Is there a particular time of time you get the most hits? Do you notice any trends?
What do you as a reader do? Do you read whenever there is a new post or do you usually leave all new posts to the weekend and read through them? I'd love to hear your personal readership habits.

I hate when people do that! There are threads meant for pimpin out your blog post. I never read people who place their link in places where they don't belong.

Amen, to you both.
There's plugging and then there is shameful self promotion.

someone popped into the chat last night, fully ignored the conversation and was like
link link link, I would love feed back, check it out!
I was like, no thanks!
They were all "A for effort?"
I was all "A for spam?"
Ha, no hard one but if you're not trying to engage us as equals, how can you contrive to keep us as readers?
As for the topic at hand. Blogspot just did a crazy thing where they can tell you the time, country, linking url, device and even the browser they watched from. Its amazing...

I track mine pretty closely. I get the most traffic on Monday, Friday and Saturdays. Sundays are always the very lowest, and Wednesdays are not far behind for some reason. In addition to the number of hits, I do also track my bounce rates and depth of visit and visitor loyalty.
Time of the day doesn't make much difference, people's schedules are all so different. At least, that's what I have noticed.
As a reader, I pull up my google reader first thing in the morning and then again after the kids are in bed. I make comments when I can, but I can't comment on everything. Especially since I subscribe to a fair amount of book blogs (they're semi-related to my niche) and I just can't muster up the enthusiasm to comment on a review of the same book 12 times.
But, I subscribe to 103 blogs (I went to check my reader) and if I left that all to the weekend, I would never keep up.

Well I have a wordpress blog, it provides all the information I need to know(i.e. what's popular on my blog). I usually get the most hits when I post about something that is particularly new or something that has a huge demand in society. As a reader, I comment whenever I feel the urge and say what I feel (I mainly leave comments on blog posts that give me a cool tip or is a giveaway).

No. Despite the trackers and bullshit I have tagged on to my page, I never really check my numbers.

I check my numbers, but I wouldn't say I track it. I use wordpress so everything is computed for me and I do watch my trend. But I don't analyze, instead I focus more on just pushing out more of the same content that my readers love from me and I notice as time goes by my numbers just increase overall, but fluctuate every now and then.

I check my stats daily, particularly for referrals. I also check to see who subscribes to my feed.
I almost always get more traffic during the work week vs. the weekends.
As a reader, I read everything as soon as I see it's available unless it's really really wordy or something and then I file it away for when I'm bored.
