    I usually check my traffic details every 2 days - or something like that, to see how well my site is doing. But, I also check it and see where most of the traffic is coming, so I'm aware of my site's traffic.

    How about you? How often do you check your traffic?

    I check Google webmaster tools and Analytics every 2 days, I look for crawl errors and any problems and I try my best to keep the forum as optimized as possible. You can call me a stats whore.

    I check my stats around once a day to see where my traffic is coming from with the Wassup stats plugin for wordpress wassup stats tells me exactly where my people come from without having to have anything I don't want on my website. :D:D

    I check my stats daily. And since moving hosts to one of my websites, traffic has increased in part due to better speed to the website. And the new host I am using provides server side stats, so i can actually see the true numbers to what I am receiving, and boy it is more than what I normally see on Google Analytic and Wordpress Stats.

    Because my current 'project' is fairly new and I've just started to advertise it I've been checking it every day to see if I've made any progress.

    Yes a better host does help... if your website is slow your members wont bother being active.

    I usually check my details daily when I start a new website, then gradually slow down to around once every 3 days or so.

    Yea, if you skip you can see how much more you improved over time, if you check everyday you might not notice much of a change.

    Once a month. I write a monthly income report for my blogs on the 1st of every month so I check my stats then. I do this because I found myself checking my stats multiple times a day, in fact I'd spend more time checking my stats then actually working! :whistle:

    I know have a small plugin on my blogs that is linked to my Google Analytic account so I might have a cheeky look once a week. :thumbsup:

    Occasionally I'll check my sites traffic. Typically, just to see how things are going and where I may need to improve on.

    I check once a day to see if there are many major errors. I also get excited when I see a new referrer.
