last year in Google Analytics

I love data. I enjoy scouring Google Analytics and not to over analyze the number of readers I may or may not have but I like to look at graphs and percentages and pie charts, and interpret what they mean for me and my blog and my readers.

Haha, ‘wash away your sins’, too funny! I’m glad 30 Days of Lists was one of the top search keywords leading to your blog :) We’ll be back this March with the next round of lists, hope you decide to join again!

Hahaha the PS3 one….I definitely don’t use mine to browse blogs and such….maybe I’m using it wrong.

Looks like Whitney and I have generated some traffic your way!
