Web analytics, web metrics, and how to use them to track and improve conversions

I read though Avinash Kaushik's Top Ten Blogging Tips & Insights from a Novice Blogger; can relate to several of the 10 points.   Blogging is time consuming because you need to create a lot of content - hopefully all of it gets crawled.

Also, need to write about things you know and feel strongly about.  I found that traffic does build slowly and I focus on RSS Feeds and return visitors and Avinash's blog is doing very well even though he does not post all that much (maybe 3 to 5 times a week).

Found DIGG traffic is sudden, but tends, by it self, not to have much effect on your longterm traffic patterns, unless your getting DIGGED often.

The rest is pretty standard fare and it' s good because Avinash makes it seem real and fun - he never takes himself too seriously.
