and if you don't, they won't.
That is the conclusion of my totally unscientific empirical study.
I'm not wacko about hits like I used to be, but I do still check most days.
Normally, I average 24 hits a day. But, when I don't make an entry, the numbers drop off very quickly. My guess is that the most likely explanation is the loss of traffic generated by referrals from weblogs.com and movable type on their recently updated blogs lists.
I guess if I were trying to maximize the number of visitors, I would tend to spread my entries out during the day. This would increase the amount of time that the links were visible from the referring sites. But, as we have all seen by now, I tend to write in spurts. And, since I don't care about numbers for the sake of numbers, I have no intention of modifying my habits at this point.

I have to admit I rely a lot on the recently updated list. I couldn't possible read all the blogs on my list, so I tend to go to the ones that I can visually see have been up-dated. I think a lot of people do that.
