It's mainly sheer laziness. I know a few people who read my site, and not one of them have commented. There seem to be plenty of lurkers out there in blog world. :) Definitely what Dan said.

I know that when I read most of your posts, I enjoy them and agree with them and leave it at that. Mainly because I have hardly any time anymore. I don't think you can read into the stats anythin to say thet you mustn't be a good writer or whatever. If it counts, I thnk you're an excellent writer mate.

This 30k plus page hits figure doesn't include the 15917 hits I received from unknown sources whose IP addresses were not resolvable and hence weren't used as meaningful data. So to answer your question, the most generous of figures indicates that at most only 11% of my site traffic is contributed by search engines, while it's more likely to be closer to 7% of my total traffic when all the data is analysed.

Roughly 50% of the nearly 2000 hits on my site are search engines :( One of my clients sites gets indexed by yahoo constantly - get about 6-10 hits a day from different google bots. Nice :D

I agree silently 99% of the time so that they don't expect the 1% when I actually inject an independant opinion... *grin* It's amazing how much traffic actually visits weblogs, between spiders, and google searches and blog directories - not to mention services like blog explosion. It's unfortunate there isn't a sure fire way of getting an opinion, an expression of support, like a rating, out of every visitor. I know alot of entries don't warrant comments, yet many I still like and enjoy. Yup, I agree with what the women said..
