Looking at the stats...

[fajrdrako]

Has anyone but me been looking at their LJ stats?

I've always assumed that, generally speaking, the number of comments I get reflect the number of people who look at any of my LJ posts, plus an irregular number who read but don't comment on any given day. I assume most of these will be from my friends pages, which in turn, I assume, would potentially exceed the number of people on my flist. But that might be illusory, since many people on my flist have faded away and don't post any more. Who also, I assume, aren't reading.

So what surprises me on the stats is the number of non-LJ people who look at my pages. Numbers often exceeding LJ people reading things.

One reaction is to think: Whee! People are reading me!

My next thought is to wonder why.
