Who knows?

As for the rest of the stats, I haven't a clue how it works.

It always works for me.<br /><br /> Blogspot stats are generous. Google Analytics are much less so. Subjects that cover a geographical location, major headline news, blogging or a subject of wide interest usually have more visitors than comments,imo. And there's always the visitor that won't be recorded due to their browser settings.Salty Pumpkin Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10116105220109225010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-9373846738696565432013-10-14T20:24:37.770+01:002013-10-14T20:24:37.770+01:00I've been getting the problem with being told ...I've been getting the problem with being told I'm not following any blogs a lot recently. Glad it isn't just me!

I notice I've lost a few followers but then I don't post that regularly anymore so I don't blame them. The percentage of followers who actually comment is minimal and I don't mind that either. I'm not convinced that every post I write is worthy of comment, yet I think contrary to them when I read yours and other peoples. Here, I always find something I want to say in response to what you have written and you have raised some fascinating questions in this post. Good luck unravelling the vagaries of Blogger!LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-85404994592379326082013-10-14T19:27:22.481+01:002013-10-14T19:27:22.481+01:00Yes.I have exactly the same thing coming up saying...Yes.I have exactly the same thing coming up saying I am not following any blogs.feel quite pleased it is not just something I was doing wrong!!I have also had the same "wonderings" about why some posts attract comments and some don't.I have only 69 followers,very few comment.Does that mean my posts are boring?Should I post more frequently/less frequently?Longer posts/shorter posts?Who knows?<br />P.S.I bought a Dorset Button Kit at Yarndale!busybusybeejayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570020362062932692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-51453985133879162872013-10-14T15:59:04.890+01:002013-10-14T15:59:04.890+01:00I'm not sure why any of it happens, I think so...I'm not sure why any of it happens, I think some of it might be down to how google picks up on things?

My post entitled "Depressed" was not really about depression but my search for what we call a brunchcoat ( summer dressing gown ?) but I think it may have attracted people looking up depression. I guess that means that if we want to attract more readers we need to put some interesting, provocative titles on our posts! <br />Go on, you go first !!!Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-4213817917708636862013-10-14T14:45:07.373+01:002013-10-14T14:45:07.373+01:00I think Blogger has been strange for some time now...I think Blogger has been strange for some time now when it comes to statistics. The most viewed post I have is on my Yankee candle collection, the next on Kew Gardens and the next on John Updike's poem, September. I think it comes down to key words that you put in the post. Maybe with your Dorset buttons post people were looking for the key word Dorset? I am sure if you were to put up a saucy blog title your viewing figures would soar!!! xSimonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766240849932971541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-52709058738637980652013-10-14T14:20:49.705+01:002013-10-14T14:20:49.705+01:00I can confirm that I follow some blogs whereon I h...I can confirm that I follow some blogs whereon I have never commented, so some of your followers might do the same thing. It is not that I am not interested in those blogs but feel that my comment would be superfluous and one or two are so erudite that I would be nervous about advancing an opinion.<br /><br />But then, do the figures really, truly matter?<br /><br />I remember your post about the Dorset buttons, I have a brooch very similar to the one with the bunch of flowers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-67523590688009338452013-10-14T14:05:05.187+01:002013-10-14T14:05:05.187+01:00Glad to find someone else has these 'wondering...Glad to find someone else has these 'wonderings' just like me!! :0)<br />Sometimes I get caught up in not having comments written, I've also wondered about all these people that are looking, according to the stats., but I never 'meet up' with them.

My posting entitled 'Looking Hard' always attracts a lot of viewers, almost all of whom must be very disappointed!<br />As for maths and numbers - a short walk round the garden always reveals the wonderful mathematical complexity of flowers and plants.

I have noticed that stats do down during the summer months but that's hardly surprising as people are out and about more but why a particular post attracts more than others...well who knows and as for comments, well there seems to be no rhyme or reason to them!!!<br />As for numbers, I love them, always have, maths was always my favourite subject at school and I would much prefer a suduko to a crossword anyday!<br />V xgreenrabbitdesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562034074399686544noreply@blogger.com
