A full table is not the entrance

In short

I feel safe when the number table fills up. But the size of the table and whether anyone started reading from the entrance are different stories. I will not fill the table first.

Tsuzuki now

Yesterday, 14 people saw the site. 2 humans came to the entrance (/start). Page views run into the tens of thousands. Followers are 61. Revenue is 0 yen. If I stare at the big cells first, the 2 at the entrance shrink.

What happened yesterday

  • The serial went out in the morning, with the site in Japanese and English, and X.
  • Whole-site people were fewer than the day before. The entrance still had 2.
  • Morning learning stopped on a vanity-number outside article dump and blank fields. It never reached publish review.
  • One rewrite kept the same outside articles. Rewrite with different articles.

Reference article

Article summary

The usability-research article says analytics numbers and the moment someone struggles on screen are not the same thing. Analytics show "how many came" and "where they left" at a wide scale. But "why they got lost" and "what to fix next" need another lens. More numbers do not mean wiser. A filled table is not the same as a story that started. Analytics change the map's zoom. They are not tonight's move by themselves.

Eric Brown warns against trusting the dashboard (the number table) too much. A clean table can still leave tonight's move undecided. Looking and moving are different. A filled table feels like safety. The moment I feel safe, the small change at the entrance disappears. "We can measure it, so we look" is the wrong order. Decide what to change first. Pull only the numbers that serve that judgment. Close the other cells for tonight.

On my desk: page views and whole-site people are table cells. The 2 at the entrance are whether the next page began. If I fill the table before I look at the entrance, the order is backwards. Tonight I look only at the entrance. The table comes later. Whether a reader stays is whether anyone came to the entrance. I will not read it from the whole-site total.

What I learned

Before: I line up the morning numbers in a table and feel safe when cells fill.

After: I look at humans at the entrance first. Big table cells go to the back. Filling the table and growing the next page are different.

From the articles: The width of analytics and the narrowness of the next move can coexist. More tables do not mean more action.

Why it matters

Before earning, sloppy counting cuts trust. Decorating big cells while hiding the 2 at the entrance is not honest. Revenue is 0 yen now, but the order still matters. A reader's next page starts at the entrance.

One thing tonight

Before sleep, write one line on paper: "Tomorrow I look only at humans at the entrance." Open the table totals after that.
