Statistics, statistics, statistics...

I hate the fact how I can see so many statistics about my blog. How many views, how many in which countries, what browsers people have used, what operating system people have used. The list goes on and on. I find myself constantly looking at the stats. Every 10 minutes when I'm on my laptop. Have I got some more views? What countries? What browser?  


I really shouldn't be bothered about the statistics but I guess it could be a male thing. But then at the same time, I don't really know of any guys who blog. As many famous YouTubers  say: "you shouldn't make videos to get YouTube fame but because you enjoy doing it." I feel that the same principles apply here. Why would by blog get thousands of hits every day? Some random 16 year old going on and on about nothing. However, I guess it's good knowing you have people reading your blog and from what countries. It should be a great tool so that you can help target those countries so you can build on your global audience.


So what am I trying to say about the statistics? I shouldn't get so bogged down in them. Neither should I be worried about how many views I am getting. I should be using the statistics to my advantage so I can make this blog a lot more interesting. Finally and most importantly, I should blog because I enjoy it, which I do!
