I’ve been pretty lazy about checking my site’s statistics for a while now. As such, I’ve found the new feature that automatically shows you the most popular plug-ins for WordPress and installs them automatically if you like them to be very useful. One of these plug-ins shows me some basic statistics on how many visitors have stopped by my blog and what they’re reading right on the Dashboard. Now, I know that my blog will never grow to have much of a readership, but I do like to know at least some people are reading my stuff and I’m curious about how often people find some of my old stuff and dig them out to read.

Unfortunately, what the stats tell me is pretty depressing. Over the last two days, nearly forty percent of my traffic is to just one page: Sex Cards in The Witcher. Now I know sex sells, but this is rather more skewed than I’d expected. One thing I am glad of is that my review of Irrational Man continues to get a steady dribble of readers. It’s probably one of the best pieces I’ve ever written and I’m rather proud of it. Other than that, I seem to have hits on my reviews of the newer games. Good to know the truth I guess.
