I know what measurements matter for WordPress.com, because they’re right there on the front page. Right now in the top left of “Freshly Pressed” it reads:
The best of 252,029 bloggers, 223,676 new posts, 327,799 comments, & 54,240,782 words today on WordPress.com.
Those numbers get me far more excited than page views1 and other “monetization” stats, because these right now front page stats reminds me blogging works.
These stats are about people expressing themselves (writing words) and connecting with other people (commenting).
These are the numbers I look to when I need inspiration.
