I ignore my numbers of hits, on chaptered stories. Hits are skewed by the same person reading multiple chapters, and viewers are skewed by people who go and take a quick look at Chapter 1 and then leave.

1.6k unique viewers on T&S for March and 7.3k hits, but the important number is how many people have read a recent chapter. I look at the highest figure for the month amongst the last 3 chapters and take that as my regular readership (as the most recent chapter will only be partially read at this stage). It feels like a more sane way to interpret a rather murky set of stats.
