BeachBum, to some extent, I think that session time may have something to do with it, but I really like the idea behind some of the newer apps that actually track what people are doing on your site. <a href="http://ajaxian.com/archives/robot-replay-watch-your-users-via-ajax" rel="nofollow">Ajaxian</a> had one featured yesterday that tracks everything your users do, including mouse gestures, and I think that's a much more telling way of looking at user experience, especially since it would ferret out the 100-tab crew like me.

One of the stats I look at daily is how long visitors stay on my site. If time goes down then I know not to write about that subject again. When time increases I stay on topic.

If I get an email, a poll answer, a comment, a video view, a song play, or an out click from a link on my sites, it tells me people are engaged. Also, when I look at my stats, the people who DO something on the site are the most likely to return and read more. By encouraging participation, I've encouraged a loyal reader.
