I keep my traffic stats public, because I don't have anything to hide. Scroll to the end of the content in the right column and see the "Over ### people served". If you click the number, you see my traffic stats. Most of it is kind of dull to most people, but fairly interesting to me.
The item that is the least important to me (other than its novelty factor) is the Recent Keyword Activity, which lists the words people search for to find this site-- current to the last 10 searches.
Looks like I'm holding at #6 for "altar server snot".
Hopefully I'll crack that top 5 soon.

You say the least important part of those stats are what people are searching for to get here. From an SEO (search engine optimization) standpoint, that's actually one of the most vital tidbits of knowledge one can possess. Don't worry good friend, one day you will be Kansas City's #1 Catholic blogger! I'm not even Catholic and I'm reading this thing!

Hi Brad-- this is a different kind of website than I've ever had before. From a traffic standpoint, I'm mostly interested good referrers from some of the "bigger" sites of the Catholic blogosphere. Of course, that'll require more posting on my end (nothing drives readership like content!), in which I'm somewhat limited by the way I write (personal, rather than newsy).
The google is fine, but since I'm not buying or selling anything here, search engine work isn't my primary concern.
Thanks for the note. Keep reading and don't be afraid to ask questions! I have a tendency to write as if everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about already.
