Why do people read blogs? Well there are a few different reasons, the number one being that they get some value from reading your blog. If this is the case, then pray tell how does reading a log add value to your blog? Before reading logs or gather statistics first figure out why you are gathering these statistics, how exactly are they going to help you produce better content that adds more value to lives of your consumers. Then and only then begin reading or looking at logs, because logs and statistics have a bad way of manipulating your ego and instead of being an activity of adding value to the lives of your consumers it becomes an ego-stroking activity at which point you will lose users. There are obviously exceptions to this, if you're Brad Pitt or George Clooney, then your blogging can be an ego stroking activity, bar that your blog is about adding value to your consumers... Forget that and they will leave and you will no longer have any readers.
