My analytical mind wanted to solve the mystery of my unpredictable blog traffic. I may have just found a causal relationship between the number of posts I write and the traffic I experience in any given month.
I have realised that the number of posts per month is nearly directly related to higher traffic, ie the most posts, the more traffic. This doesn't make any sense to me.
I check out my blog roll (blogs I read) on a daily basis. So if there is more than 1 post on any given day I read them all on the one time I visit that day. I rarely, if ever, check a blog more than once/day.
There are only 2 blogs that I take an RSS feed from straight into my email box (soon to be just 1). Everything else goes into my pageflake. My pageflake takes forever to build so I only load it once and once I've caught up I shut it down.
So if I post more than once/day do you come back to read? If so, how do you know I posted more than once? How many of you subscribe to my blog using the RSS feed? How many of you don't know what an RSS feed is?

I don't know what an RSS feed OR a pageflake is, although I think you might have tried to explain it to me once. I visit your blog 2-3 times a day. Since I am alone in an office in the middle of nowhere most of each day, blog hopping is my way of having conversation - the way normal people would go to a break room or gather at the water cooler.
You have more room for Viking info because you don't know about RSS or pageflake. Leave it that way.
Like Janell, I too check blogs more than once a day. We don't take breaks away from our desks so between projects I might take a minute to check my blogs. It's like checking the mailbox for something interesting only doing it more than once a day.
Difference is since e-mail and cell phones, not much interesting comes in the mail.

I am guilty also. I have no idea what pageflake or RSS feed is. I am in an office with 9 guys and 3 ladies. Really don't have much to talk about. So i check out my family instead.
