Analytics
I know I'm way late to this party, but google analytics rocks! If you don't have it, get it!
I've only had my blog live for a couple of days, but in those couple of days, google can tell me where my visitors are from, how long they stayed on my site, whether they drilled down past the first page, how many pages they viewed, what browser they're using, whether they support flash and/or javascript, their screen resolution... oh and it tells me how many people have visited too.. 17 unique visitors so far!
If you go through their product tour, it doesn't seem particularly applicable to a lone little blogger like myself.. they spend a lot of time talking about keywords and finding revenue streams and trending and analyzation and(insert other managementy, pointy-haired-boss-style buzzword here)... but for me, it's just a lot of fun to click through and see the stuff I mentioned above on some nice easy to read graphics that are really well laid out.
Oh yeah, did I mention all this is free? It used to about $500/month, but when google gobbled it up, they made it free. Google rocks.
