Stats and Analytics . . .
This week on Tuesday Open Comments Night we talked about crazy stats, spikes, keyphrases, trends, ratios, traffic, backlinks, pageranks, SERPs, splog sites, algorithyms, RSS subscribers, patterns, plugins, goals, and search terms.
There was also mention of weather, grammar, punctuation, spelling, Mark Twain, Ferraris, a story in six words, full moons, reading tea leaves, gypsies, movies, The View, 24 Hours, Z-list meme, Alice in Wonderland, MyBlogLog meme, weird statistical stuff, workloads of small-business owners, and The Long Tail.
We shared hellos, grins, jokes, laughs, congratulations, poetry, advice, questions, recommendations, addictions (to stats), and goodnights. There was even something about measuring traffic and feet? (I didn’t see any food though.)
Anyway, a thought is that blogging for stats is not the answer. Writing about your passion is.
Sounds like many people use more than one tool to measure stats. Here are some of the tools and sites we mentioned that you may want to check out:

Thanks for the cool links and for being part of the conversation. I wish I could quote you all, but I know you have an idea of how much time it takes to make that long link summary happen each week. I hate to let it go, but I thought you’d understand.
So, for 2007, we’ll just tell the story and share the links that you bring. You can always read the comments – they’re all there.
After all, how DO YOU explain Open Comment Night, if you’ve never experienced it?
See you next Tuesday? I sure hope so.
