What do you keep track of?

I keep track of the estimated page views, this way I know how much I am going to get paid. I also like looking at my clout index!! The sooner I get to 10 the better and the more I will earn. I have a long long way to go but will keep writing. Luckily I am addicted to helium.com so everything I write for them I submit to AC as well.

I like to keep track of the money ha ha. I also keep track of the page views. I have won two awards so far for being in the top 1000 for page views. I am hoping to hit the top 100 either this year or next. However, I have been writing for this site for five years and still I'm not in the top 100. I am hopeful though.

Number of pageviews I could care less about the fan base. I check which articles get a good number of hits per month. Then I try to write similar articles to them.

The only numbers on the site that I really keep my eye on are how much I'm going to get paid at the end of the month in PPV. Sometimes I look through the content that I've published to see if by chance one of my articles with less views have suddenly become more popular and there are a couple of pieces that consistently do well and I just can't figure out why, but it seems to be popular every month.

Truth be told, I wish they'd give us the option of not having the estimated page views running total. Right now I'm showing $8 and some change but come time to get paid I'll probably only get $7, after they validate the page views blah blah blah. So I'd rather just not have it there, taunting me, and when I get the email from PayPal, then I know how much my PPM bonus is that month. That PPM bonus each month is nice but it's the article payments I like even better. Although I haven't been getting much of those lately because I haven't been writing much lately but they're still nice, when they come. It makes me feel all professional
