Blogging Tips

Stop Playing the Numbers Game With Your Blog


Today we’re going to talk about numbers. Not just any ‘ole numbers, but the numbers related to your blog.  If you are a serious blogger, I’m sure you already know what I’m talking about. Most of us like to keep track of our blog numbers, don’t we? Just to be clear when I talk about blog numbers today, I’m referring not only to page views and visitors tracked in Google Analytics, but also to the number of followers on your social media accounts. 

So tell me, how often do you check your blog’s numbers?  Is it monthly?  Maybe weekly??  Perhaps daily???  Uh…several times a day???? Alright, we need to talk! Today I’m here to tell you to stop the insanity! It’s time to stop focusing on numbers and focus on what really matters.  

Stop playing the numbers game with your blog. Lear how to focus on what really matters to grow your blog with tips from Sparkles of Sunshine.

I remember when I first started my blog and figured out how to check my Google Analytics. I would check it several times a day, and get excited with every visitor. I’d check my social media accounts, too, and shout a cheer as I gained each new follower. But what started out as fun during my early days of blogging, eventually became a chore. If my numbers were up, I was happy. If my numbers were down, I’d start to worry, then I’d start to question myself.

What am I doing wrong?
Why aren’t people liking my Facebook posts?
Do people hate my writing?
I’ll never be a successful blogger like…so and so.

Self-doubt would creep in and steal my confidence until the next time I checked my blog numbers and saw a spike. Then one day I received an excellent piece of advice from a very successful blogger. She said to stop looking at my blog numbers so often to gauge my success and instead focus my time on making my blog the best it could be. Hmm…at first I thought she was crazy, but I decided to take her advice and I’m so glad I did! 

Let’s think about what draws readers to you site.  Is it any of the following?

  • Readers look at the number of followers you have on Facebook.
  • Readers notice how many people are following your tweets on Twitter.
  • Readers are impressed with your Instagram followers.
  • Readers notice you’ve hit 1K followers on Pinterest and decide to visit your blog.
  • Readers see that 200 other readers have looked at a particular post this week and decide to check it out.

No! Why not? Readers are not looking at your numbers, and neither should you!

Now let’s look at some of the real reasons readers are drawn to your blog.

  • Readers see a great project from your site on Pinterest and visit your blog to see how you made it.
  • Readers check out your photos on Instagram and want to learn more about you and your blog.
  • Readers see a post on Facebook that sparks their curiosity and they decide to find out more.
  • Readers follow a tweet to your site to learn more about a topic.

So, what do all of these reasons have in common?

GREAT CONTENT!

That’s right! It is great content that actually draws readers to your blog. You need a great project tutorial to inspire others on Pinterest. You need an interesting article to create interest on Twitter. You need a unique perspective to spark curiosity on Facebook. You need a great photo to draw readers from Instagram. 

Bloggers need to stop playing the numbers game and focus on creating content that will intrigue, engage and inspire readers.

Once I stopped focusing on my blog numbers, an amazing thing happened. My blog started to grow, without me even realizing it! Why? I wasn’t focused on numbers, but instead I was focused on developing my writing skills, planning out my posts, connecting with other bloggers, learning new photography skills and interacting with my readers.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying you should never check your numbers, because I do. I have a monthly chart I use to track my blog’s growth through social media and Google Analytics. I need to know what’s working for my blog and what isn’t, but my ultimate goal should be to gain followers that come back daily to my blog, follow my posts, and leave genuine comments. I don’t want just numbers…I want loyal followers! How about you?

[Tweet “Bloggers need to stop playing the numbers game and focus on creating great content.”]

Let’s stop putting so much emphasis on the amount of followers we have on our social media accounts and stop checking our Google Analytics so often to see how many visitors we’ve had to our blog. We are wasting valuable time that could be spent creating amazing content for our readers. Without great content, readers will not continue to come back to your blog.  What good is 3K likes on Facebook if only 100 of those are engaged readers tuning in to your blog each week?

Will you join me and stop playing the numbers games with your blog?

    Thank you for confirming this for me! I’m a new blogger (started January 31st) and was so worried about page views and followers on social media. I haven’t developed a huge following but am satisfied with my numbers. I look at them when I log into my blog but they no longer evoke thoughts of failure and I don’t stress over them. If I just keep doing what I’m doing with writing, photos and projects (even though most of them fail…LOL), it will grow. I just have to decide what I want the blog to grow in to. 🙂 I just don’t know at this point and will continue to do my best at writing and see what happens! Have a great day!

    I so agree with you and as the saying goes ‘content is king’ . But if you make monthly or weekly charts it does not matter if our attitude and emphasis is on making great blog content and learning what our readers want. Which is the point that you are making.

    You are totally right, Christie. And it is so easy to get caught up in the numbers game. I have to FORCE myself not to look at my numbers every day. I’ve discovered that the days where I don’t look at any numbers at all and just focus on creating projects, writing posts, and interacting with this amazing community of bloggers we have, that I’m a much happier person. And I’m starting to figure out that # of followers doesn’t always equate to success. Keep doing what you’re doing, girlie. 🙂

    Totally agree! I used to do this and feel bad about it, because I felt like I made good content (and improving). Then I realized the giveaway game that some bloggers play to make their numbers look good. 15,000 pinterest followers and only 1 repin? No thanks, I would rather have engagement and an interested audience than fake followers.

      I so agree! What good are those followers to you if they really aren’t following? Someone wise once explained it this way to me….so maybe you get a great book deal because your numbers look good and the publisher thinks you have so many followers, but then none of them buy your book because they really aren’t true followers, then you’ll never get another book deal again. It really made me think!

    My numbers are still quite low and I’ll admit I do look at them and it can be discouraging. Very much so some days. I do try to focus on my content and it’s awesome to get some positive feedback about it and to know that someone enjoyed it. I’m so appreciative of every genuine comment.

    I’ve recently switched my blog site from blogspot to .com in hopes that I can make it a more appealing place and to allow me to have more options. I do think it’s hard to not look at numbers and it will take some effort not to do so.It’s easy to wonder what I’m doing wrong, even though I know that is not productive!

    I do know that my Social Media numbers remain low because I don’t follow just to get a follow back. That just doesn’t work for me. I agree with Rachel, I would much rather have engagement-and that’s something I need to focus on. (Sorry for the length of my reply, but obviously your post struck a chord with me!)

      Beverly, it’s always great to hear from you! I know how you feel about genuine comments, because comments like this one really make my hard work on this blog worth it. I was inspired to write this post because a lot of blogging Facebook groups I’m in do follow for follow and comment for comment threads and such, and although I have discovered some great blogs and friends through some of them, I got tired of all the quick, insincere comments I was getting and realized that so many are in it just for the numbers. I took the time to evaluate how I was spending my time and what was actually benefiting me in the long run and it really changed my course of action, so now I’m more selective in what I participate in. Engagement is what I’m after, too! I think you’ve made a wise decision to switch from Blogspot! Have you read Ruth Soukup’s book How to Blog for Profit Without Losing Your Soul? It is excellent, and has a lot of tips on how to set up your blog, improve content, etc. I’ve been taking her Elite Blog Academy course, and she’s the one who taught me to stop looking at numbers so much and just get busy blogging! 🙂

    Great post! As a fairly new blogger, this is definitely something I struggle with. I look at my Google Analytics multiple times a day (ok…let’s me honest…like every hour!) I have quite a few followers on Instagram but I’m not converting as many to readers as I would like. I know it’s a game of patience sometimes but it does get frustrating. It’s nice knowing I’m not the only one that struggles with this though. Hopefully six month down the road, I will feel more at ease!

It’s funny, but often the days when I’m offline and enjoying life are the days when I get the most traffic, and days when I’m home plugging away on social media my traffic is lower. It’s important just to enjoy the ride! I’m heading over to check out your blog now! 🙂

    It’s hard not to think about numbers when your blog is as new as mine is and the target audience is pretty small to start with. I know most of my followers are others whose blogs I read and comment on, though that doesn’t account for the higher numbers above my regular followers. I am concentrating on content first and engaging more on Pinterest now and using related Pinterest board widgets on blog posts when relevant. When I look at social media numbers, I realize they aren’t real.Many of your first followers may not even be active anymore. Many people join Twitter, make a few tweets, and that’s the end of their activity.

    Am I hoping to grow my numbers? Who isn’t? But you are right that obsessing over them doesn’t change them. Great content and marketing does.
