I recently looked at my stats and realised a bit of a pattern. It helped me with figuring out the best days of the week to post and time of day to post. I also had a quick look at your blog and noticed some of your posts have lots of tags on them, have you checked after publishing that they are showing up in the reader? I noticed with my posts if i added many tags to a post sometimes they don’t end up on the reader at all! Less tags is sometimes better:) I hope this makes sense but that may get your views up a bit. All the best x

I check my stats every now and then, but I never really put any thought to using them to cultivate my blog in the right direction. I hope to grow my blog. I understand that the key would be to as much as possible carve out a niche, although sometimes one can post articles that sort of deviate from time to time. Thank you!
