If I were a business, I wouldn't know what I should do better to satisfy my customers. I guess that's why I'm a librarian. I don't have a head for numbers. Any math beyond calculating the sales tax on a bag of Funyuns®, eludes me completely. Numbers are not my friends.
I never hear of anyone discussing blog statistics, like what are good visitor or page view numbers. Each time I write something, I wonder if anyone will read it. If I see a comment, it makes if feel like the time spent was worthwhile.
Otherwise, all I have are numbers. And as I said, they aren't speaking to me, so don't ask me what they might mean.

The Feedburner stats look good since they seem to count every single time some feed widget or reader or bot peeks at my page.
But since the Sitemeter stats (which count actual visitors) are so pathetic, I removed that image with those stats. Now I look like I have lots of visitors: 102,630 -- woo-hoo!
