I am conducting experiments on you. By opening the post, clicking like, following me or commenting, you are helping me figure out:
- What country you are from (although mirror sites can confuse the data)
- The key words that draw you in
- If you click another link
- What search terms are used
- When you are referred by another weblink
WordPress gives me most of that data but it is also fun to try and figure out what I can on my own.
I am trying different things:
Does posting at lunch time in Sweden make any difference. Weekends? Short or long posts? Personal or factual? Do I think the post title worked? Was it catchy enough? Do I get more views with poems or photos? Do my readers like bullet points or essays? What kind of post results in a reader following me? What do we have in common if you do follow me or browse my site? Would it be better to have different websites for different topics?
Should I really care what you think or just write from the heart?
Editor's note: You don't need to answer that question..I already know what I have to do.
I am watching you float on by my blog

Oh. Always thought it was the white mice conducting experiments on us. With really tiny clipboards.
They help me study my cats. Unfortunately, they mysteriously disappear with the data.
I feel like a number – i’ll have 42, please.
Ah, yes. It is the answer after all to life, the universe and everything!
I was referred by your pingback to my post! Thank you.
My pleasure!
