Stop that stats refresh

Do you spend half of your day refreshing your stats? Are you going in between AdSense, StatCounter, Google Analytics and MyBlogLog all day long? It is important to be aware of your stats and also very important to analyze them but at what cost?

If you are that kind of person, you should really reconsider the amount of time you spend checking your stats. It is a common thing when trying to monetize your website to constantly refresh your AdSense account in the hope of seeing a couple of cents/bucks or refreshing your StatCounter account hoping for some visitors. It is absolutely ok as it’s part of the game, but it can become obsessive. Think about the time you spend online checking your stats for no reason and think about the time you could spend building backlinks or writing content.

What I’m trying to say here is don’t be too obsessed with your stats at first. Concentrate on building some good original traffic and save that stat analysis time for when it’s really going to be needed. Don’t take me wrong here, stats/traffic analysis is important, but it has to be part of a full strategy. If you refresh your AdSense account 100 times a day, you are loosing precious time you could spend elsewhere.
