Statistics

I check my stats from time to time To remind myself that people do readWhen I feel like I am shouting in to the abyss that is the internet And no one is hearing or readingI also like to see where my traffic comes And what search words led people to my blogMy blog comes up on the first page of Google when you type in certain words to do with EDs and addictionThis is both exciting and scaryAs you knowI don't write anonymously I'm honest about my struggle My face is out there for all and sundry to see And I don't hold backI guess I don't know any other way to be Recently I've been wondering about my stats And how they compare to the average stats of a bloggerI get on average Between 400 and 1000 hits a day I don't know if that is a lot or a littleAs I have nothing to compare it to Obviously I know some of youBut there seems to be hundreds of you that read and I don't know I'm interested to find out who you are I also like to check views from the top ten countries The U.S. and the UK come in first and second And then other countries like Russia And Norway and Malaysia also feature It still boggles my mind That people from all over the world read my blogI'm hoping that it is a force for goodAnd helps readers in some small wayThis blog is a huge part of my life It's more than a hobby at this stage I treat it more like a jobAlbeit an unpaid one But still a job of a kind 
With all that said I was wondering about youHow many hits a day does your blog get?Do you check your stats much?Do you write anonymously or not?What are your reasons for this?I'd love to know.....
