I stopped paying attention to blog stats a while back, and actually "unplugged" the Sitemeter I'd had for ages. Haven't really given it much of a thought since.
Blogger now has limited traffic stats built in, but again, I usually just zip right past all that on my way to the composition page.
Except today, when it caught my eye that this post has just south of 800 page views, which is (I think) about 750 more page views than anything I've ever posted (or at least for a very long time.) Moral of the story: if you want more traffic, write about obscure comic books.
Which reminds me of a draft post I started about The Boys and The Authority that I really ought to finish sometime soon...

you want page views? just write about Zara Amir Ibrahim's homemade sex video.
evidently, she's really big in societies where the veiling of women is popular.
i got a massive delayed reaction to my 'Winter's Bone' article. nobody cared much at the time, then Hunger Games arrives... and googlers were scrambling for Jennifer Lawrence stuff.
The single best day I ever had was the time I said something mildly disparaging about Eric Carmen and the Eric Carmen Fan Club brought the wrath down upon me. I think I got 1000 page views that day.
What I find especially frightening about that is how many fans Eric Carmen apparently has.
Long tail, man.
If you write about something everybody knows/cares about, no one will find you. If you write about something 1000 people care about a LOT, they'll ALL find you.
Nothing at all in the world wrong with Eric Cartman...
