I am so disappointed.
I have installed a site meter and was getting very excited as I passed the 1000 hits mark. Then I started looking at other blogs and popping back to my page to go to the next one when suddenly, horror! I realised that every time I clicked back and forth, the site meter chugged up another 'hit'. I have been artificially inflating my own score!!!!!
Curses. Oh well, I have at least got onto del.icio.us and managed to start tagging all my fave blogs. Hopefully this will mean that any hits from now on are from the blogosphere!
I feel so foolish.
I did that too. but you can tell sitemeter to ignore your own ip address. I think it's in your profile somewhere (like that's helpful.)
ReplyDeleteYou should try using the google reader for your blogs. It's a handy-dandy way to organize and read without going through your own blog.
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing with my blog meter in the beginning! So probably 25 or 30 of my "hits" are just me, before I realized that was happening. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThat stinks! Wordpress actually doesn't count your own trips to the blog, thankfully. Some days I *check* my own site a little too often. :-)
ReplyDeleteI use bloglines, which seems to work really well too for managing blogs and ones I haven't had a chance to read yet.
We'll work on inflating your numbers for you....keep it coming!
