I knew I should have seen more than my average 30 visits per day to The Land of Ozz. I just found the problem today. I did not have the TTLB or SiteMeter scripts running on my archive pages. Soooo, all the links that came directly to postings either from search engines or from other blogs were not showing in my SiteMeter stats. Even though the link from Glenn Reynolds came in on a Friday afternoon, it still brought me almost 1000 unique. My site meter statistics registered only 50 visits that day and the light came on. I was just about ready to can the SiteMeter script or worse just stop blogging because it appeared that no one was reading. I am glad I found my error before getting all bent out of shape and writing a nasty about SiteMeter or TTLB for that matter.
