I have a (french) blog[1] having analytics for first years. I realize most page views where not necessary the ones I had the most fun at writing. It was sad to realize your next post would not necessary bring interest and you start to bring what you guess peoples would be interested in, and not what you are interested at in the first place. It breaks motivation on the long run. Like if you where no more blogging for yourself.

I finally remove analytics and now write what I love without being to rationals. It brings far less pressure.
