Like, "It looks interesting, but I've no time right now, so let's bookmark it and read later." That's what I do sometimes. Maybe average time spent on article is another good metric, because it shows how many people have actually read long article in its full.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27488238.post-55713829074726572742008-06-16T23:24:00.000+02:002008-06-16T23:24:00.000+02:00Anonymous: I know the analysis is not perfect.

I have no idea how many people read this blog via RSS, or via RSS aggregators like <A HREF="http://planetruby.0x42.net/" REL="nofollow">Ruby Planet</A>, so part of my readership escapes me.tawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16972845140253292628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27488238.post-26918146998951425062008-06-16T19:16:00.000+02:002008-06-16T19:16:00.000+02:00I don't know how relevant this may be to your spec...I don't know how relevant this may be to your specific analysis but I tend to just read short blog posts in my feed reader, whereas for longer posts I'll actually open up the original page. If this is a common usage pattern it could bias these sorts of stats to favor bigger posts (at least for page views)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27488238.post-48038388732408470292008-06-16T18:03:00.000+02:002008-06-16T18:03:00.000+02:00I could do that easily because I always bookmark m...I could do that easily because I always bookmark my posts on del.icio.us tagged "taw" and "blog".<BR/><BR/>So I logged into del.icio.us, fetched <A HREF="http://del.icio.us/taw/taw+blog?setcount=100" REL="nofollow">this</A> and <A HREF="http://del.icio.us/taw/taw+blog?setcount=100&page=2" REL="nofollow">this</A> pages, and extracted "saved by 42 other people" texts from HTML using Hpricot. You won't get "saved by 42 other people" unless you're logged in, probably for performance reasons.<BR/><BR/>If you don't bookmark all your posts it is probably a lot more difficult.tawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16972845140253292628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27488238.post-55607723879060897062008-06-16T17:56:00.000+02:002008-06-16T17:56:00.000+02:00That is actually a rather valuable analysis.
