My website has a main page only and I've been using google analytics. Short of looking at the hits from day to day, and comparing them to the day you wrote the post, Is there is a way to set it up so you can see which post in particular gets the highest hits?

I had noticed the new break a story trend...or even just having one post per page and had wondered if it had anything to do with desiring an increase in pageviews. It just seems so transparent though, why would anyone want to artificially increase their pageviews, and it's a pain to read too! I do worry about having a high bounce rate, though reading this has made me feel better as it's not as high as I thought it was.

I do agree a bit with Liz on the bounce rate being higher on a blog because of new posts. I did notice however, after Google's last algorithm update, my bounce rate was much lower (not nearly as low as yours) and time on site was longer. So it seems Google is placing some importance on this statistic as well. Another great article Grechen! I do agree a bit with Liz on the bounce rate being higher on a blog because of new posts.

I guess mixed with unique v. return visitors, and taking all factors into account, it gives for a very good overview of how your blog is doing.
